Connor and his trainer, Elder Jervoso, from the Philippines.
I arrived in Washington Yakima mission on January 28! I spent a day in the mission home training and eating, and then got my assignment to serve in Coulee Dam. There are a lot of deer and wild turkey in Coulee ... and sooooooo many dogs. Everyone has dogs. Ev. Ry. One.
My companion is Elder Jervoso, and he's Filipino. We have a car! The mission doesn't usually have new missionaries drive, but Elder Jervoso doesn't have a U.S. drivers license, so I get to drive around our Toyota Rav4. The Coulee Dam area is in the Ephrata zone, way north of Yakima. We're the only two missionaries in the area, and it's very spread out. Elder Jervoso is also the District Leader, so we get to do some leadership stuff on occasion.
This week was great. We tracted and drove around the area a lot. We had dinner last night with a recent convert, Maria. Classic cornbread and chili. So good, I had two massive bowls and probably gained 20 pounds.
Right now we are teaching a man named John. He's a young man who is very familiar with the Bible. He's reading the scriptures and exercising faith. We're extending a baptism invitation this week, so hopefully that turns out.
Service, Love, and Truth
Elder Craig
