[Pictures first!]

"Hello everyone!

I am doing quite well in this wonderful area of Centralia. This area is quite large, which is why we have a car. But we continue to walk for most of the day, way fun.

We did see a deer one day, that was way cool. We also spotted a raccoon in a tree, and I think we scared it because it started to power up its laser eyes and was going to shoot us. So we ran away. 

There has been some serious sickness going around the area, and so everyone in my companionship got varying levels of sickness which made for a fun week. Thankfully we have all become better, at least a little bit, and are going to live. I hope that we did not make anyone else sick as we went out each day, but who knows. 

Not much else really happened besides making sure our smoke alarm works. That is about all that I will say about it, make it seem like it was something very intense :)

Hope you all have a great week!

Love from Elder Reed

Feb. 26th, 2018 update

[There was no updated from the 19th because Elder Reed ran out of time - so here's this week's update!]

I do apologize for not having emailed last week, but the time was again limited. Now I will get one out. Just for you all. :)

I am glad to say that I am now in a new area in the Great WA-TAC! Centralia. I am in a foursome now, which means that I am in a companionship of four. We all cover one area. The reason for this is that we needed a spanish missionary (Elder Carling) along with another zone leader (Elder Dearden, with Elder Burton) and because threesomes are not very good idea (imagine three people on a doorstep) they needed a fourth, and Elder Reed just happened to be the best choice! Plus, President Leishman told me that he was going to transfer me out of Bremerton, having stayed there for 7 and a half months. So we all cover the same area and just switch between each other whenever we get tired of the other. Another plus, because it is a zone leader area, we have a car!!! A Chevy Equinox, white, 2014. Pretty exciting. Although we ran out of miles recently so we walked for quite some time in order to get to an appointment and knock around the area. 

Not much else has happened this week, but this is all of us!

In order, Elder Carling (from Idaho), Elder Burton (from many places), Elder Reed (oh yeah) and Elder Dearden (from Ohio, yeah).

[Until next week - remember to count the blessings!!!]
