The first of Many :)

Hello Family!

I'm glad I get a chance to send you all an email today. First off, I'd just like to say sorry to Dad for not getting the chance to say hello. I tried calling your cell, but the minutes on my call card got drained from talking to mom somehow. Something about pay phones charges. But I'll talk to you Christmas time which will be here before we know it!I am now in Washington! Pretty crazy. They weren't kidding when they said it rains a lot. So today is officially my second day out. Yesterday we got here in the morning and met our mission president and mission mom (President Larkin and Sister Larkin). We went to their house for lunch and interviews and then went to a nearby chapel and got our new companions. My companion is Elder Orr and he's AWESOME!! He's super nice and is a pretty great cook! He knows a lot about the area and I'm way excited to work with him! We're serving in a place called Puyallup. We actually had a couple appointments set up last night and did some tracting. We taught a lady named Bridget and her two kids Harmony and Jeremiah. Bridget was recently baptized so everyday we're gonna stop by her house and give her a scripture to read from the Book of Mormon. She's so awesome and her kids are so stinkin cute. Makes me miss the little ones at home. But everything is going good! On our way to a teaching appointment right now! I'll email you as soon as I can! Love you all!
