Yak'in in Yakima : Week 4 - This Definitely Isn't Utah Anymore

Camri is in her first area in a place called Moses Lake. It goes to the Canadian border. She is doing great and really enjoying her mission. The mission blog that she refers to in the end of the e-mail is https://yakimamission.wordpress.com. It is done by Sister Lewis, the mission president's wife.

OMGoodness I'm in Washington!
Sooo when the plane was pulling in I looked out the window and was like,
"Ahhh heck nah". All I saw was rolling hills of brown and it looked like
the lonely and dreary world that Adam and Eve were cast into. and then we
went into this tiny little airport. So small. But thats where I met
President Lewis and his wife! Gosh they're so sweet. I didn't sleep like
at all that whole night so I was exhausted and slept like a baby as soon as
I could which wasn't until Tuesday night.
I met my companion on Wednesday! Her name is Sister Wadman and shes from
Harrisville, Utah. Shes been out for about 11 months now. We get along
way good and I love her lots! Our area is Moses Lake 2nd Ward and YSA. Not
gonna lie, being in a YSA ward is the bombshiz. We get to go to all of
their activites with them. The downer to it though is that I have to go to
6 hours of church every sunday. So y'all should never complain about 3
hours again aight?
Being a missionary is weird because people think we're weirdos. And
knocking on strangers doors has been the hardest part for me. Haha its so
awkward.... but I just wish they understood the blessings that could come.
Oh! I get to go to a baptism on Wednesday. Her name is Josilyn. She's 19
and super solid in the gospel. Her fam doesn't want her getting baptized
so it's way sad. but shes super sweet and I'm excited that I get to go to
her baptism and be a part of that.
Right now we're teaching a 15 year old boy named Nick. He wants to be
baptized but we haven't gotten permission from his parents yet so we're
going to ask tonight! Pray that their hearts will be softened haha.
We talked to these two 16 year old boys and one didn't believe in God and
did not understand why they heck we were serving missions. We gave him
pamphlets and I assured him i'm not some phsyco girl. Haha he didn't seem
too convinced. He said he believes in science which totally reminded me of
Nacho Libre when Steven says "I believe in Science" hahah I miss TV. But
it's all good.
Oh I ate some weird stuff. I'm pretty sure the member was vegan. She fed
us stir fry and it actually wasn't bad but the "meat" was tofu. sooooo
yeah. that was a new thing for me to experience...
I'm doing great though! I don't get to email as long as I could in the MTC
so that sucks. Fun facts: We drive a 2016 Toyota Corolla, our apartment
looks like a cardboard box, our beds are in the living room, and I've eaten
frosted flakes for breakfast everyday this week.
Thats about it folks! Until next time. Oh me and Sis. Wadman always tell
each other a miracle of the day and its super cool. So try to recognize a
miracle in your life everyday. Its fun. :)

Also!!! Birthday shoutouts. Happy Birthday to Hunter last week. And happy
birthday to Kade on the 9th! My bro's are growing up so quick :') Love you
guys.

Heres some pics! Hopefully they send.... Um heres the tiny crap plane I
flew in from Seatte to Yakima. Theres some pics of my apartment. Cute eh?
A selfie of me and Sis. Wadman. Oh and I held someone's Guinea Pig so that
was neat. And theres a pic of me and Sis. Fox and Sis. Tenney at
Presidents house the day we got there :)
