Hey, Another Week Is Gone

Hi Elder Penrod,


How is life treating you? How is your companion? How is the field?


I hope that you are doing well. Last week was a bit crazy but not too much. We went with Scot to take out his endowments on Wednesday, It was so cool to be there for his first time. Grandma and Grandpa were grinning ear to ear. And when everyone was hugging and greeting each other in the celestial room, it was so very much like a piece of heaven. The spirit was so strong and the family unity that exists in the temple is so wonderful.


I am trying to remember what I have already told you on Sunday so I apologize if I am repeating.


Some other things that happened this last week:


Beth and I went to a sushi making class. Now when you come home, we will be able to roll you some sushi to celebrate.


Cameron is struggling with turning in his assignments. I don't know what it is with my kids and thinking they are too smart for school. Hopefully we helped him see the urgency and need to pass his classes so he is working hard to get all assignments in. He is also excited since our Nintendo Switch was broken, we went out and bought a new one. Well, guess you can't easily transfer the data over with the old one not turning on. So after a call with Nintendo, they recommended we ship the old one to them and they will repair it. So now he will have two switches, haha.


Curtis is excited for Wrestling camp and can not wait to get back on the mats this summer. He truly missed it this spring.


I am excited to hear from you this afternoon.


Love you tons!

Update From The Mission Field: Challenges And Progress In Silverdale

Dear Friends and family, I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share with you some updates from the mission field here in Silverdale, Washington. As always, the work is both challenging and rewarding, and I am constantly amazed by the resilience and faith of the people we are serving. Over the past few months, we have seen significant progress in spreading the message of hope and love in this community. We've had meaningful conversations with individuals who are searching for something greater in their lives, and we've witnessed the transformative power of faith firsthand. It's truly humbling to be a part of this process of spiritual growth and discovery. However, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the obstacles we've encountered along the way. Serving as a missionary in Silverdale comes with its own set of challenges, and there have been moments when it has felt like an uphill battle. From facing skepticism and indifference to dealing wi...

Easter And Such

Hi Elder Penrod, I hope that you are doing well. I probably won't have much to talk about since we spoke to you on Sunday. How are you doing? How is your week going so far? How is your companion? How are your friends doing? We had our usual Easter Egg Hunt at Lisa's on Saturday. It was fun and they were able to convince Beth and Cameron to hunt for eggs with the promise of vending machine money . It was fun to see Rylen (Liam's boy) and Ethan hunt around for eggs. It sounds like Rylan is going to be a big brother in November. Josh Burger's wife is also expecting, they will be having a boy in September. So lots of new babies on the way. Yesterday and today the deck guy has been here at the house installing our deck. I am so excited to have it, I think it will look great! We just have to figure out how we are going to barricade the dog in until the fence can be attached to the backyard. Dad has plans to do the siding but we have the wrong trim pieces so it may be awhile u...

Some Friends And Some Foes (But Not Really Because We Love Everyone)

Image
The area has finally started to get some activity now. We've been keeping some lessons going with our friend and we have some good fellowship with that. She likes attending church and the ward activities so that's good. Saturday we got bashed. She was very nice though, but really did not believe in the Book of Mormon and told us it was of Satan. Right after that we visited a drunk lady who wanted a prayer, sounds familiar, but this time it wasn't too weird. She said we were awesome and what we do is good which was nice. Transfers are coming and I'll be getting a new companion so Elder Higbee will be leaving. I'll miss him actually he's been a pretty good companion even though he's a bit trunky. That's pretty much it. Thank you guys for the support again. I have some hope for this area now, so we'll see how it goes. Love yall -Elder Penrod
