Yo! Sorry for the late email haha! This week was really great though.

We went on a hike today and it was AMAZING! The hike is called Storm King and the view was absolutely gorgeous. I'll definitely throw some pics down below. We had to get special permission from our mission president cause it's almost a 2 hour drive. The hike was rough at the start... but it's all worth it when you get to the top. I think the hike was 4 or 5 miles but that wasn't the problem. The trail was way steep. Like WAY steep. Our calves were feeling it by the time we finished but it was absolutely amazing. We chilled at the top for a while and it was so peaceful. There were a ton of these birds that would fly around you (and sometimes land on you). It was so sick. I took soooo many pictures haha. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

We did a bunch of service this past week with a bunch of people. We met this old lady named Joan and she needed help stacking some wood. That was super fun and shes really nice. I got the job of filling up the wheel barrow and bringing it to the backyard. We shared a little bit of the restoration and she took it pretty well. Hopefully we can go back there again sometime!

The whole district also goes to Fish Line every week and that's always fun. It's this food shelter place in poulsbo. Apparently missionaries used to go there a bunch before covid. It's been a lot of fun and we mostly stack shelves or help organize what's already there. They had donuts for us afterwards which were way good. 

Also yesterday we had two dinner appointments! Haha! I'm not a big eater, but man I was STUFFED after that. We ate at the Browns and the Brindles. I guess that's what you get for being a missionary though... ;)
