Hey family how's it going?
Things are great here. It has been fun serving with Elder Armstrong this last week, me and him mesh perfectly and we joke around with each other all the time. Also our on-dates are going great, still trying to get them married and taught all the lessons.
Also the mission is revamping a lot, we now do not tract what so ever (which if you don't know what that is, it is walking up and down streets and knocking on every door, which is very boring) we now do street contacting which yields a lot more investigators and is a lot more fun than tracting.
Also we now have dinner every night opposed to how it was before to where we only had Sundays and Mondays. Now I'm gonna start getting fat, especially with all the Tongans I have in this ward wanting us over for dinner all the time which is awesome. So yeah so far we have dinner tonight at the Dorset's, dinner with the Dalrymples tommorrow and dinner with the Luksans on Wednesday and we are working on getting dinner for the other days.
So that is all to report on this week.
Love ya,

Hi Family,
This week was great. I had a bunch of lessons with my on-date investigator and then where able to teach her a lot of stuff, she is an amazing lady.
Also we just had a 3 hour meeting with Elder Kikuchi of the first quorum of the seventy so that was awesome, it didn't feel like it was 3 hours, but it was very mentally and spiritually uplifting, and I was able to learn a lot from him.
Also transfers where today and I got a new companion, his name is Elder Armstrong he is an awesome guy very fun. I've served around him before and now I'm his companion, so yeah that is all for this week.
So yeah I will be getting those pictures to you soon I just need a package to put it in and it'll be great.
Anyways love ya much, talk to ya later,

Hey family,
This last week has been fun, we where able to teach a lot of our investigators and was also able to put two on date which was awesome.
Also today was my cultural day and Elder Read and I went to down-town Seattle. It wasn't as fun as I thought it would be, but that's also probably because we only had time to go to the free places because we where poor. But hey we where able to get some pictures of the sites there, so I will be sending some pics home this week.
Oh and I went to the temple last week and I was able to go through for one of the two cards you guys gave me so I will be sending that home as well.
Well that's it.
Love,
Elder O'Brien

Hey family,
Sorry I didn't write last week, there was this really stinky guy sitting next to me and he was giving me migraines so I got off and tried to get to another computer but there was none available sorry.
Yes my MP3 is here, thanks for it, thing is huge, Elder Read calls it a brick lol.
So you went to Portland ehh? 100 that is incredible that grandma is still alive. I hope she's still there when I get home.
Anyways these past couple weeks has been so so I guess nothing really exciting to report. My two drunk investigators who we where teaching is in detox tho for the next three months which is sad.
That's about it, talk to ya all later.
