Hello Family and Friends!
I have finally arrived in Washington and am serving in Rochester. It's a rinky dink town with one gas station and a mercantile store. I am excited to finally be here though. It will be very adventurous. I have already been told that Rochester ia a great place to start a mission because every place i go after here will be an improvement. I already had my first experience tracking last night. They have what is called a 5 to 7, meaning we knock on doors from 5 to 7 every day. I guess I will be doing a lot of tracking over the next 18 months.So far I've had quit a few doors slammed in my face. So exciting! I'm keeping up in spirits though because I know their is someone out their who is just waiting for us to knock on their door.
I am loving being a missionary and can't wait to really get to work and start teaching and baptizing.
Funny joke I heard yesterday. I learned yesterday at transfers that our mission has two approved exercises. The first one is called the baptism and the other is called the confirmation. Confirmation is where you raise your arms above your head put your hands together and lower them about half way. Then repeat. I'm sure you can't imagine what the baptism is. I got a kick out of it when President Weaver told us that! that's really what they do here though. They find,teach,baptize and confirm. Their are around 100 baptisms every month! WA-TAC really is the best mission. All missionaries I have met so far are so enthusiastic and excited about the work, It is truly contagious. I should have some wonderful stories for you all soon. I'd love to hear from you all. My address for at least the next 6 weeks is: 10301 A 184th Ave SW , Rochester ,WA 98579
Know that I love and miss you all.
<3love,
Sis Lee
