Hi friends!
I've been doing so good here in Washington. I love serving the Lord. Its definitely been a process, but the longer I've been out and the harder I work, the closer I come to my Savior. I thought I'd start on a little spiritual note this time :)
Me and my companion have been working a lot and teaching a lot this week. We found a bunch of new people to teach! They all came from knocking doors too, which was such a surprise and a blessing. Knocking on a random person's door and talking about the church was very difficult for me at first, but I think I've grown so much since 6 months ago. We've had really good interactions with all of them and we hope to just continue teaching and helping them.
The house is WAY quiet now. There used to be seven of us in the house and now there's only four. We've all gotten super close to each other. They are some of the best guys you'll ever meet. We talk basketball a lot and go into these long debates of who's the greatest of all time and all that. Haha! It's a good time. We've played bball in the mornings a couples times too. It's way fun and helps me get up in the mornings (and stay up).
I have so much to be grateful for. The more time I spend here in Washington, the more I realize that. I am grateful for everyone I've met and had a chance to interact with. I am SO grateful for my family. They keep me going. I'm grateful for music. I am grateful for the church and for a living prophet. I'm grateful to be serving a mission at this time. And so much more! 
Trust yourself and have confidence in yourself. Trust that God knows what he's doing. I've though of this a lot especially as a missionary. God trusts us all so much, so we should have that same level of trust in ourselves. Don't get caught up in what isn't important in this life, do all you can to serve those around you and build those relationships. Cause that's what matters
Love you all,
Elder Macfarlane
