I almost left the WEM

 (Sister Putnam)

Hey everyone!!

So a lot has happened this week! On Monday we went to Ostrums.   A cute little gift shop in our district, and then a farmer's market that was soooo fun!! And we also went to target!!

Tuesday we had exchanges and I went with Hermana Hludinzki and we went into the Spanish area, but unfortunately didn’t teach any Spanish lessons. We taught an English lesson to a guy from Algeria.  He introduced us to his family, and his wife and kids are so cute, and they all have names that I grew up around in Saudi.

Wednesday was district council and we've had a ton of yard work service and it was awesome!! Busy week, super exhausting!!

Yesterday I made mashed potatoes, and pasta, and set the stove on fire within the same hour so that was great.

Also someone gave us a helium balloon so I'll include a video if us putting it to good use.

Covid restrictions have lifted enough so that we can have district pdays now!!

Ok now for the explanation on the subject line of the email. So the Washington Everett Mission is commonly referred to as the WEM. The Seattle Washington mission is absorbing the Bothell stake, where I'm serving.  Usually when this happens the missionaries stay with the stake and go to the other mission. Well,  president begged to keep us, and they granted his wish so we didnt end up leaving the WEM, and we are getting transferred in 2 weeks. So, we almost left the WEM but we didnt.8
