hey everyone!
so today has been my frist full day in the mission field. im serving in renton washington. so far i love it here i still cant get over how green it is here and i love it. it makes me happy and especially it has been sunny today and should be suny for a few more days.
my trainer is elder bonnett he is from provo and he has been out for a year and a half. the renton area that we are in is a very succesful area ao im really excited to be serving here, there is already someone on date here from the last elders so we got a free baptism basicly! its pretty cool she is set for feb 20 so im really excited i cant wait. today in zone meeting we set a goal for 2 baptism in feburary so we have some work to do but with the area it shouldnt be to bad. there is also a family of 5 that comes to church alot but they wont get baptised so we are going to go meet with them tonight and try to work with them and see what we can get done its going to be awesome to try to work with them.
oh and im in a biking area but it will be nice though its a beautiful area. also i cant drive those 2 tickets kinda messed me up but its a good thing im in a biking area then!. but to get my driving priviliges back i just have to go to the mission office and watch a move so it wont be bad at all.
we have an awesome ward mission leader bro lim he basicly does our job for us. he helps us out alot and knows like everything about all the people wich is good cause we got whitewashed into the area so me and elder bonnet are both lost. all the time. but bro lim is awesome he set up rides for us so we have rides every tuesday- thursday nights from 7-9 so im excited for that we wont have to be on bikes then.
its realy nive to be out of the mtc but weird caue actually talking to real people is alot different than talking to fake investigators that are already mormon but it will get easier as it goes.
oh and my address is 11100 petrovistsky # r 106 Renton, WA 98055.
i got to meet with pres larkin last night which was way cool. im so glad i can work with him there is going to be alot of great stuff going on in the mission, there has been alot of changes and everything too which i think wil help alot but its going to be great to work with him.
well i hope everyone is good there and give hank good scratch for me ( and no i will not stop putting this because he needs a good scratch everyonce in a while!!!)
love you guys
elder berry
