What's up everyone!
This week was really good and we were way more busy which was nice! I love serving the people in poulsbo. I am still trying to meet members in the area but some people are a little hesitant with covid and everything (which is understandable). The mission has been way different than I expected it to be, but I think if finally gotten the hang of things and teaching people during this pandemic. A mission is hard at times but it's the best! If anyone is considering one, I totally recommend it!! There us so much growth you see in yourself and how you view and treat the people around you. Love you all and now to get into the week...
Last monday we went back to Brother Donahues again. He is big into art and we went over last transfer to do some painting. We did the same paintings again and it's so fun! You literally just put paint in a cup and drop it on a blank canvas... but its awesome. My painting is a mixture of pink, purple, orange, and sky blue. I think it turned out pretty good. Im still not sure if I like my green one from last time or this one, but there both pretty cool ;) Brother Donahue is also really cool and he always feeds us klondike bars haha. He's this really old guy and he's a way good artist.
We had interviews this past week with President Metts. We do an interview every transfer and he is the best! It was pretty quick, but it was great talking to him and he always gives me motivation to do better and work harder 
I also got a chance to talk with Sister metts while my companion was getting interviewed and shes the sweetest!! I love them and there contagious personality :)
One thing that also happened this week was we ran a MARATHON as a quad! We did this challenge with our zone that if they got 50 return appointments by the end of the day, we would run a marathon collectively. Long story short... they did it. We got up at 5:30 in the morning and went over to the high school cause they have a track. We split it up between the four of us where Elder Bailey ran 10 miles, me and Elder Wilson ran 6, and Elder Evans ran 4. It honestly wasn't too bad but that could be because we walked almost half of it haha!
It took about an hour and a half. I've been running 3 miles with Elder Bailey a lot in the mornings so that also could be another reason. It was way more fun than I was expecting though.
Lastly, this past weekend was general conference! I'm not sure who all reads these... but general conference is basically where the leaders of our church talk and give council to all of us! It was soooo good. There was some SUPER good talks and I definitely recommend watching all of em. We went to the stake center to watch the morning sessions with the entire zone (besides the Bainbridge sister). We ate breakfast all together and it was way fun. We had german pancakes on Saturday!! We went over to some member houses for the afternoon sessions and it was just a great weekend and full of the spirit!
