"It's always sunny in...SUNNYSIDE WA!"

 Hola everyone! I can't believe I have been in Washington for 6 days! We have been going going going these past few days which has been awesome to be so busy. Last Tuesday I was on a plane flying to Yakima and now I am in Sunnyside Washington! There are fields everywhere and the whole town smells like cows! Sounds gross, but you get used to it! There are apple orchards, peach trees, cherry trees, and all kinds of fruit everywhere! 

I'm in a trio! My companions are Hermana Middleton and Hermana Sperry! They are the sweetest and soooo funny. Hermana Middleton will hit 14 months in 6 days! Hermana Sperry will hit 6 months in a few weeks! They are sooo awesome and we get along super well! The English sisters live in the same apartment complex as us, so we hang out with them all the time! It's been super fun to get to know them and become close. 

Two times this past week we got to help with the Salvation Army in Yakima! We've been able to hand out food boxes to people in need and it's been so fun to meet the other missionaries and serve others!

We have actually been able to go have lessons at people's houses, (wearing masks) which has been really nice! We have been teaching in only Spanish too which has been really fun but hard! I definitely need to practice more!

It has been so humbling meeting the Hispanic members and seeing their kindness. They will seriously feed you until you're full and then give you some more to take home with you! We were able to visit Hermana Madrigal yesterday and help her feed her animals. As we approached the gate, 8 dogs ran out to meet us! Then we turned the corner and 6 more came out! They were soooo cute. She also has sheep, goats, chicken, doves, cats, and chicks! As I was feeding the goat I turned to my companion to ask her something when suddenly I felt a huge yank!!! The goat totally tried to eat my hair! It was so funny but also kinda scary too haha! 

I read in Alma 32 tons this week! Definitely one of my favorite chapters of the Book of Mormon for sure! Work on your little seed of faith and I promise it will grow! 

I have loved my time in Washington so far! My address is below if you'd like to send anything :)
