Hey ya'll, it sounds like everything is going well where you are, and I love to hear it! It makes me slightly sad when we meet people on the street who have no idea what is going on in their families' lives, and all they have to do to figure out is just call them up on the phone or drop them a text or shoot them an e-mail or chat on Facebook or even hop in their car and drive 5 minutes home to see who is living in their home. Just to be able to hear from you all at least once a week is pretty darn amazing! I have the best family in the world, and everyone in NE Portland knows it! (Well except for Hermana Hamblin...;)

This week seemed to fly by! By Tuesday all the rain had melted the snow and we are now back to Portland as we all know and love it!  Bytheway, sorry this e-mail is late because of President's Day, that one kinda snuck-up on me. But, like I was saying, this last week flew by. We had many people to get in contact with after the snow storm and many things to do, I just don't know what happened with the week! I can't even think of where to start.... On Saturday I went on exchanges with an Elder who is in a biking area. It was raining all day and we were soaked to the bone. No one that we had planned on seeing was home, but that didn't matter. We are in Portland and there is never a lack of people to talk to! So we spent the day tracting and street contacting and were able to meet the many interesting people of SE Portland. I thought that Portland was already weird before I went down there. Now I know it for sure. Anyway, the whole point of the story is that I had way too much fun in the rain. It wasn't too cold, so I was happy; I really love the rain!

Well I have hit a wall and we have to get rolling, so I will talk to you all later! Love you all!

Love,

Elder Hamblin
