So I am just barely still in the boundaries for the Everett Washington Mission which means I can see the Seattle mission from my area. I am currently serving in the Lynwood, Bothell area in a ward called Alderwood 2. It is super great here I love it. My companion is Sister Lisonbee a 19 year old missionary that I am finishing training so no pressure. Its actually really nice seeing as all of my companions but a couple have been my same size and so we share clothes. Ha ha nice variety since clothes seem to get worn out 20X faster on a mission than anywhere else. Any way currently in Alderwood there is one person on date and another who keeps trying to put himself on date. It was actually a huge blessing but I will get to that. So this investigator lives in our apartment complex. Well my companion was telling me about how she liked to creep on them because they live right there. Anyway we had just gotten out of our after church meeting and saw him running soaking wet. We of course thought they were having a water fight so we stopped to say hi. Well turned out a couple minutes before there water main broke in their house so we went upstairs to help. Their house on the 3rd floor was flooding which was awful. So we helped them get all of the electronics off the floor and then something told me to ask if they turned off the water and they hadn't and so we went around to find all of the turn off valves. Finally we got a hold of someone from the ward and he was able to come with his 3 year old son and turn off all of the water. His son thought it was a blast as there was a swimming pool in their house. He was having such a blast. Any ways it was awful because the people below them were not home but the ones on the first floor were so the people on the 2nd floor we could see water coming out of their house to the balcony as it went through the floor. They hadn't been able to eat so we ran over to our house and brought stuff for sandwiches and we ate on the walkway as we waited for people to come help. They are now staying somewhere else as their newborn can't be in the house with all of the stuff that happened. Oh well. Other than that nothing much more exciting has happened this week except of course me moving. Well love you all.
