ELDER BLAKE GREEN'S MISSION BLOG: Life is Awesome!!!

Hi Mom! Hi Dad!

The Allenmore Ward is freaking awesome! Our dinner calendar is completely filled. Every time we visit a member we leave with something (a cake, a bottle of water, money, a case of Gatorade, ect.) I love being back in Tacoma! To clarify, we are technically part of the Tacoma Stake, Tacoma East Zone, but our area covers from Bremerton to Lacey. (because we're in the Samoan Ward). We mostly work in Tacoma and Lakewood and we live in the Lakewood Ward boundaries.

Elder Ivie is awesome! I totally lucked out! We get along great and have a lot in common. He is a great missionary and has so much potential.

OUR NEW ADDRESS: 2614 84th St Ct- Apt. G - Lakewood, WA 98499

Our new place is pretty good but needed some work. Elder Ivie and I run a pretty tight ship though, so it's good now. ha ha

So the Lord in his tender mercies is so incredible. This Sunday was Stake Conference for the Tacoma Stake and Sok (my convert from Wapato) got the Melchizedek Priesthood! And guess what! HE ASKED ME TO GIVE IT TO HIM! Elder Muirbrook called me Thursday night and told me that Sok wanted me to give him the priesthood and I just about fell over I was so excited. I saw him at Stake Conference and gave him a big hug and he asked me if I would give him the Priesthood. I of course said yes, then afterwards we went to the Tacoma West building and I got to ordain him an Elder. It was probably the sweetest experience of my mission. But wait there is more! Another guy named Ray that was getting the priesthood that same day said he wanted one of the missionaries to do it, so I got to give it to him as well! It was so awesome! How great is my loving Heavenly Father who allowed me to come back to Tacoma the very week that my convert was getting the priesthood! I am positive that that was not a coincidence, but a tender mercy from God!

Life is awesome!
with love,
Elder Green
