Sorry there are no pictures this time... and maybe never again. I think I lost my charger.... I looked everywhere for it this morning and I am going to keep looking this afternoon. I really do have some "good" pictures to send to you, and I really was going to send them this time, but I really can't find that dang charger! SORRY!!!!

 

Anyway, that is great for Mandy and Cade (although they don't get to come to the BEST mission in the world. Their loss).
I know deep in their hearts they want to come to the WKM. They will do great though.

 

I hope you got my letter explaining that I am in Milton-Freewater, Oregon (not Washington). It is about 10 minutes south of Walla Walla though. You know what, I am not sure why they call it "Muddy-Frog Water," I just know that is the nickname of the town. Elder Olsen and I are working really hard, but people are really set in their faiths up here. We are teaching a couple people, but mostly we are helping the ward here find the less active members and trying to reactivate them. That's not going super well either, but we have been tracting and doing other finding efforts and quite a few people told us that we could come back and talk with them! So we stay hopeful! Other than that, that is all we do; we are having a blast though.

I will send a big family letter this week, because I have to write a lot of people, and I think that I will go a little more into detail in that. I am trying to write everyone that writes me (which is really only you all and the occasional letter from someone else, but I am really slow at writing so it takes me all day). I really can't think of anything else to say right now; love you and I hope you all have a great week!

 

Love,

Elder Hamblin

 

P.S. Do you all know what the Doctrine of Christ is? A lot of members don't!
