I finally got to Washington! My home for the next 2 years!
We got in to Washington Tuesday night where we sorta talked a little bit with the mission president and had pizza. After that we went to the assistants house and slept there in a bunch of bunk beds. When we were getting ready for bed I pulled some puss-soaked cotton out from underneath my ingrown toe nail, and when I went to show elder smith, (he is super grossed out by feet stuff) my toe started bleeding like a lot and it made a trail of blood splotches. The assistants were pretty annoyed with me.
That morning on Wednesday we went to the church and did a bunch of training and did interviews with the president. Oh man something super embarrassing: so our mission president hates the words sweet cool and suck and during the interview I was asked to give the opening prayer. Now I knew he hated these words before but I still proceeded to thank Heavenly Father that President Wilding was "cool and not a nerd" I said those words during a prayer. So I'm off to a good start. After that he told us who we were getting paired up with. I got paired up with Elder Anderson! He's a super solid guy that's really good at basketball and has been out for like 14 months.
We got assigned to Everson which is the most Northern part of Washington. A lot of dirt roads and farms. Since then we have basically just been getting to know the members and tracting. Nothing too crazy. Oh but yesterday it started snowing really bad and it's against the rules to drive in the snow so we stayed inside and watched church movies all day. I got like 12 hours of sleep it was great.
Today for p-day we played volleyball as a district and then me and Elder Anderson went to Costco because he has a membership. It was pretty great to be able to shop.
