Wow it is hard to believe that it is already Monday again. Time flies so fast and slow at the same time.
I thought it would get easier to see people now that the Superbowl is over... WRONG! On Wednesday they had a huge parade in Seattle with all the players in it. There were close to 100,00 people in downtown Seattle. 1300 kids didn't show up to school and 500 teachers called in sick. Wow this state is going a little crazy!
Now that the Superbowl is over we have the Olympics. which isn't so bad but everyone wanted to watch the opening ceremonies. luckily we had Ward correlation at that time.
On Tuesday we had zone conference and we got the GOLD PLATES! That means that our car was the cleanest in the zone. (even though it is the oldest and they are about the kill in in about 5,000 miles.) We have a license plate border thing (I cant remember what it is called) that says Renton Gold Plates and we got 100 extra miles this month.
After Zone Conferance we had to get our oil changed. We were sitting in the lobby and a movie was on. It was a really weird movie but anyways. In the movie they shot and killed someone. It was amazing how fast the spirit was gone. It was like in Finding Nemo when Dory says, "good feeling gone!" It is amazing to see how much I have changed in these 2 months. I am so much more sensitive to the spirit now.
The sad thing about Washington is you hardly every get a sunrise/set. In Utah I really took that for granted. we finally had one this last week. I miss Utah's Sunrises/sets and Mountains.
On Saturday night it snowed. About an inch or two. Everyone freaked out. That night we had a bunch of texts and voice blasts asking us if we were ok. It was weird the only real problem was that there are NO snowplows! A slight problem. We got stuck on a couple hills on the way home. They also canceled church. There was only 2 services in the whole stake! On the way to church Sister Alder and I had a spot of trouble. we were going down a slight hill at the bottom was a T with a stop sign when Sister Alder tried to break we slid. as we turned. Luckily we stopped 6 inches from the ditch. It is good to because if we had gone into the ditch my side of the car would have smashed into a telephone pole. The Lord really does protect his servants. the worst part though was when I had to get out of the car to back Sister Alder. Where everyone could see who we were. Totes Embar (hahaha)
Sister Alder have this problem with matching clothes. Almost everyday we will end up wearing the same colors. Like today. I got dressed and was in the kitchen. When she was done showering and getting dressed she came out and said, "you have got to be kidding me!" I was wearing a navy blue shirt with a mustard skirt and she had on a navy blue skirt with a mustard shirt. That is almost a daily thing for us. Sometimes on of us change and other times we just stay in the same clothes.
With the deaf lady I e-mailed about last week. They talked to her and talked to her for about an hour last Monday. Today they are meeting with her again and the ASL missionaries are coming so they can hand her over. It was such a cool experience.
Next week p-day is in Tuesday instead of Monday because of exchanges. Sister Alder and I will probably stay here because she is training me but you never know.
I hope all is well.
thank you for the letters and Prayers
Until next week.
Sister DeKarver
