Elder St. John: Monday February 12, 2018 Pullman, WA

Hi Mom!

1. What would you say your average temperatures have been there in Pullman?

1. Probably 35-45, but this week has been a little cooler.

2. How much walking vs. driving do you do? And are you ever on your bikes?

2. We drive a lot. And walk a little. I haven’t ridden my bike in this area at all.

3. Have you done anything fun on a Pday there?

3. No.

4. What made you the happiest this week?

4. Going to Outback after mlc in Spokane.

5. We LOVED your toothbrush video! Can you send us more videos?

5. I’ll think about it.

Well this week was a decent normal-ish week. We had mlc on Tuesday and went to Outback for dinner. Yes, I said Outback like Outback Steakhouse. Elder Horman had 50$ in gift cards that he was dying to use so we helped him out and went to Outback and he bought us dinner. It was great. Then the rest of the week was normal missionary work stuff.

We went to ARP on Tuesday. So ARP stands for Addiction Recovery Program. It is something put on by the church and is super good. It helps a lot of people overcome addictions to almost anything. Drugs or pornography or even addictions to food! It’s a good program though and they have a good size group here in Moscow. Then we taught Jesse on Thursday and taught the Tolman’s on Sunday.

Sundays are long days for us. We have 7 hours of church and then we usually teach a lesson right after so it ends up being 8-9 hours at the church building and then we usually have a member dinner that night. It leaves us about 2hrs to do anything else which usually includes our studies. But if we have something we need to get done like last night then we don’t get all our studies in. So it’s always an adventure on Sundays.

Well this next week we have zone conference again on Tuesday and that is here in Moscow. The rest of the week is just a normal week. So wish me luck!

Also, it kinda hit me the other day when the mission office called me and asked if I needed to move my going home date because they have to order plane tickets six months in advance. So, my time is wearing thin I guess. I still feel like I have a while. But what are your plans for me coming home? Also I was thinking when I get home and head off to college what the driving situation would be? Are you just going to ship me up there? Who knows if the Corolla will make it and plus Hadlie needs a car for high school. Maybe there’s something we can work out. Or what was your plan for that?

Well I hope you have a good week love ya!
