On Tuesday morning we had a meeting in Bellevue. We woke up early to beat the morning traffic... but Duvall was COMPLETELY backed up.. That is strange since it is "off the beaten path" But it was so dark and foggy that we didn't think anything of it and we tried to get out of the back roads... They were all blocked off.... So we turned around and sat in traffic for almost 2 hrs for what would normally be a 40 min drive... Here's why: Duvall floods.... Not just one street and not just a little flooding... The whole valley... appx. 5 ish miles were complexly submerged in water! The back roads were blocked off because they were all under water. Our apt. is on a hill so we had not clue! Oh it was an adventure getting out of town. Apparently this is a common occurrence here in Duvall. So that was fun... Anyways after our conference we got to help a family in our ward lay tile! oh ya I am getting to do construction ;)
We got a new investigator on Wednesday. Her name is Donna. We have been doing service for her for a few weeks and finally asked if we can teach her more about the gospel and she accepted! wahoo! We provided some service at the womens shelter this week as well. (shelter for abused and battered women.) I really enjoy doing that. There is a lady in our ward that has a special needs daughter and we got to go and help her mom make dinner and we sang for her daughter. She reminds me a lot of Britney wilson. The Daughters name is Dominique. She has CP and she is such a sweet person... I think she is the closest we can get to Heaven... Not a bad bone in her body. Anyways we got to spend a lot of time with her and that was really special. We have started arranging some hymns to sing for people here in Duvall. I sing in English and my comp. sings in Russian! IT sounds really cool. I am learning a lot about different cultures. My companion and I are similar in a lot of ways but culturally we are different. It is cool to learn about the traditions and things that she has grown up with. ;)
We got a surprise visit from president Choi to our Apartment this week. That was nerve racking ha ha thankfully our apartment was spotless! proud mom? Cleaning skills have paid off ;)
The Binghams (Senior couple I served with back in Overlake Bellevue) came to Duvall for a visit. We got to give them a tour of Duvall! That was a blast.
This morning we went on a mission walk. As a mission we walked about Green lake in seattle. It was a 2.5 mile walk and we did it as a group in 50 min all wearing our mission shirts. I am sure it was quite the sight! It was fun.
Excited for a new week and new adventures!
I saw this video on Lds.org and thought it was SO cute! Enjoy!
I love you all! Have a great week!
