Hey Everyone!

| Bryce and his pop last July. |
This week has been filled with lots of
learning experiences!
Last Monday we went to REI (outdoor and clothing store) to see if I could find a good winter coat. Unfortunately, sales there mean that a
$1,000 coat is only $500. And on top of that, there wasn't anything
that I really liked, so needless to say, I don't like rich people
clothes!
Tuesday we went to Corbin Stake Center and were
telemarketers for them (calling on referral cards). It was way weird, and I don't really like
it much. but it was fun meeting with the office ladies and
teaching them a little about the gospel. We also had a car that day
and so we were able to visit a part of our area that isn't very
accessible. It was strange. The neighborhood we went to was actually
fairly well off and the houses were all way nice!
Wednesday we were telemarketers again
and it got easier to do that. We also visited members of our
ward that remind me of Grandma and Grandpa Griffin! It was fun! They
even had those Costco cookies that Grandma buys every year! We also
had KFC for lunch again. It was a way bad idea. Way too much grease!
It was funny! Never Again!
Thursday was super off. We had to ride
the bus a ton that day and saw lots of interesting things, including
a screaming match outside a store in Felony Flats. We also got
hot dogs from a hot dog stand outside the Spokane Courthouse. They
were way too expensive for their quality, but we were kinda panicked
trying to find lunch and so we just went with it.
Friday we had zone training and I
received a lot of much needed revelation about how to improve myself
as a missionary and it's been really helpful! I'm doing a lot better
because of it!
Also, Sis. Deangelo sewed pockets onto my coat that
evening and it's been so nice to have! They are perfect!
A funny experience we had was, we went
to Faustin's and helped with some stuff for his son's school and he
asked for help with something with customer service and so he called
and then it said "For English press one" and they all just
started laughing and then saying "For English press one!" It was so random and hilarious! I had no idea what was going on! It
was super funny!
Saturday was an awesome day! We played basketball in the morning and
we got Dominic there! It was super fun! And later that day we found
some people who are refugees from Kenya who we are teaching now! It
was crazy! They fed us some African food, which was interesting.
Basically beef, peppers, green peppers, black pepper and oil. It was
spicy but good!
Afterwards we went to the Bossleys for dinner and
they made what I dare say is the best dinner I've had on my mission!
Bisquits with gravy and eggs and bacon and it was so tasty! Their
kids are so adorable and happy too! They are one of my favorite
people I've found on my mission! They're working towards the temple
and I'm so excited for them!
Sunday was an odd day. We taught the
guys from Africa and they were all interested, but not at the same
time. It was very interesting. They're super funny though, they are
kinda scary looking, But if you say hi, they have these HUGE toothy
grins! It's super funny! We also did some service for one of the
families who've been struggling lately. It was a lot of help to them
and they're improving.That evening we had dinner at the Purcells, It
was way delicious and we were able to get a lot more done that
evening thanks to Bro Purcell volunteering to come out with us.
That's about my week this week!
Love you all!
Have a good week!
