 How's it going everyone!

This week has been pretty boring, to be honest. We had 2 people come to our online sacrament meeting, which might sound pathetic but they were people we're teaching, and it's the most we've had so far. So that's super cool.

There are 3 forest fires going on right now. They're about 50 or so miles from Wellington, so it's been pretty smoky. The sun looked red a few days ago because of the plume of smoke. Hopefully it rains so that the fires won't be as bad.

We've been talking to a lot of people. My companion is a beast when it comes to talking to everyone. Whenever we see anyone outside ever, I know that we're going to talk to them. It's given me a lot of practice though.

It's good to talk to you all. Have a great week!

There has been some confusion in their ward over the dinner appointment calendar.  There are 2 sets of missionaries but only one set ever has appointments.  So Ethan and his companion have to fend for themselves.

Ethan, after a little mishap where he mixed up tablespoon and teaspoon, has perfected Grandma Pack's cookie recipe.  He made 4 dozen and the 4 elders in the apartment had them gone in 2 days.

The smoke from the forest fires is turning the sun red.
