Letters from Blake

Hi, mommy!

That's pretty cute that Zeke can here his voice now. I love that guy- he is so cute. My new companion is pretty rad. His name is Elder Waring (pronounced wearing) and he is from England. He has a pretty sweet accent and sometimes we have no idea what he is talking about just because they have different words for different things there.  haha it's cool though. He is a good missionary, very bold. He has been a missionary as long as I have but he served in Scotland for a transfer because of visa issues. Things are a lot  different here in the WA-TAC than where he was before. I am super glad that I am staying here in the WA-TAC. There is a lot of mission pride here.  I am glad to be staying in Lacey as well. Lacey is a great area and we are getting a pretty sweet teaching pool going.

 

We had a missionary fireside yesterday where we had a choir of missionaries singing and a bunch of us gave testimonies (not me) and some recent converts spoke. It was really spiritual and cool. Nothing too crazy has happened really. Just the usual frustrations and small miracles that come with being a missionary. I love it though and we have been having a ton of fun this transfer. Also I got my F-701 engraved. Now it says "Elder Blake R Green    WA-TAC" -  its the sickest.

 

I don't have anything specifically I need you to send me off the top of my head. I will let you know once I come up with anything. Thanks for the video of Zeke, he is the cutest. Have a good week, I love you!

Hey Papa Bear!

This past week has been really good. The weather has been decent but still a little rainy. I was on bike with Elder Kearney the other day and it started raining so hard it felt like I took a shower. I got pretty wet. The new guy is pretty rad. His name is Elder Waring (pronounced wearing) from Devin England. He has the sickest accent. I drive quite a bit now because Elder Bishop and I are the only ones that know the area and He doesn't know it very well haha. This week I have been teaching a lot of lessons. I love teaching and it's also the thing that I am the worst at so I like all the practice I can get. I taught 2 people the Restoration on their doorsteps which was pretty fun. I have met some super cool people, also some pretty awful people. I had a cool small miracle happen the other day. I was in the apartment deciding where we should knock and Elder Waring half joking said to pray about it. So I did. I found a road on the map I never knew really existed and felt like we should knock there. Elder Bishop and I knocked together and the last house we found this super cool girl named Morgan who said she had a lot of LDS friends and wanted to read the Book of Mormon. We are going back tonight to talk to her more. You never know where things could go but I thought it was a small miracle and an answer to a prayer. I have noticed a lot of those lately.

 

 I'm glad to hear about everything going well at home. I bet it is really starting to warm up there. Keep on keeping on.

Love, Elder Green
