5/24/2010 News from Federal Way

Life is great here in Federal Way, the work is great we have one on date right now and by the end of the week we will have two more on date, also we found an awesome PI yesterday while tracting, it is this brother of a less active lady that we know, we read him 3 nephi 11 and he gave us his # and address so we will be stopping by sometime this week. Also he does glass engraving so I'm gonna get a cool engraving on a cup or something else, but first I need to find myself a cup that I want to keep as a keepsake for the rest of my life.
Also being companions with elder Gardner has been great, a bit crazy at times but cool. Oh just in case I did not tell you his info he is from ST George UT and has been out in the mission now for 22 months, almost done.
Well that's all for now, love ya.
Until next time love,
Elder O'Brien

5/18/2010 Greetings from Federal Way

Hi y'all wusup,
I got transferred to a new area I am now in Federal Way and so far do not like it as much as Maple Valley for one thing Maple Valley is country and Federal Way is city, so yeah that's the breaks.
My new companion's name is Elder Gardner, the surprising thing is I know him quite well, he used to be in my district in Maple Valley for the first six that I was there, he is an interesting fellow, doesn't talk much and I have to basically force him to talk or he will just sit there and say nothing. We currently have one person on date and am working on 2 and 3, so we shall see how this transfer goes.
Until next time love you all,
Elder O'Brien

4/29/2010 Hello from Maple Valley

Hey whats up peeps(peeps means people)
Things are great here. Haven't had any recent baptisms yet but hey working on it.
Every Monday there is an old guy who comes to the library with a chess board, so for the hour that Elder Tanner is E-mailing I play chess. There was one game I played with him that lasted 45 minutes which is way longer then i have ever played a game of chess for. Oh Yea I was proud of my self.
We have not gotten a single flake of snow and most of the time it is in the sixties unless it is raining then it goes down to the fifties. I looked at the forecast and it is going to be in the middle to high sixties all next week, oh yeah bring on the sunshine, and oh mom, you have fun with your 30-40 degree weather BWA-HaHA.
Well love you all, have fun in the snow.
Elder O'Brien
