Temple Trip

Well today was zone temple trip so P-day got moved to Tuesday this week. So it was fun to be able to go to the temple with our zone this morning. There's a member in the stake with a 15 passenger van so whenever the Hermiston zone has to make a mass exodus they usually charter it out to us, so this morning Sister Hoffman drove us in the van up to the tri-cities to the temple. It was cool because the Yakima zone did their temple day today too so we got to see them. It was fun to see Elder Swenson again and ask him how Grandview was doing. Apparently basically nothing has changed haha. But it was fun to see my old zone.

Well this week was a good one. We're finally set with the Romero's baptism. The problem was that we'd set up the date, go to follow up and she'd always be asleep because she works night shifts and we'd have to postpone it. So finally we got talking to her and set it all up this weekend. So it should work out because she doesn't have work or anything that day.
This week for service we weeded Sister Hoffman's yard one morning and the next Brother Browning brought his Rototiller over and we tilled it. My hat is coming along quite nicely. I'm using a pattern from a book Elder Richards has. I'll take a picture and send it next week. I think this will be a fun hobby even after the mission. Well that’s about all this week.
Sincerely,
Elder Derek Partridge

P.S. I've seen a Mormonad around that I really like. It shows a picture of a sad looking missionary opening up an empty mailbox and it says "Write Away"
So there's the address peoples!!! hahaha
