Serving In Tacoma: Sept 18th, 2017 update

"Alrighty, let me see if I can remember enough of this last week to fill up an email with it.

This week has been a very interesting one. I don't know if you all know, but there are a lot of cannabis stores in Washington nowadays and it is a little concerning. On Sunday, we were getting a ride home with a member of the bishopric and we started talking about it for a while. Apparently, the stores are very well kept and nice and clean. He went in one once with a friend for some reason, but he did not buy anything, don't worry. :) He described it as a place that was very friendly and all of the people in their were very nice. It is interesting because people are smoking tobacco less, but pot seems to be on the rise. It is almost better to smoke tobacco because it doesn't impede judgement, and it costs a lot less. People are weird sometimes.

Speaking of weird, on Monday, we got into the gym of one of the buildings after we had lunch, and in come two chickens. no joke. missionaries are very weird sometimes. :) I should know. Just another day in the WA-TAC.

The past week and some of the days before, there had been a lot of smoke in the air. Just to be clear, there was so much smoke that I could look directly at the sun for however long that I wanted. That is how much smoke there was. It was really crazy. There was also ash FALLING from the sky one of the days. It was really interesting because I have read a book were that sort of thing happened a lot and it was cool to actually experience it.

So the first eight pics are of when Elder Kamerman and I went knocking together for a while and we were right beside the Pugent Sound. So I touched the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Super cool. Plus the sun was setting and I got some cool pictures of that too. The other pictures are of the outside of my apartment this morning. It looked very nice. And the final picture is of me with my jacket on. I got my first taste of Washington rain yesterday and that was fun. I am super glad that the jacket works well, shout out to my dad who let me have it.

Well, I believe that this is the end of yet another update for this week. Ummmm.......

yep can't think of anything else
