Dear Mother and Father,
Hello! So, I'm in my new, very rural area! And I'm just going to warn you now. These letters I'll send whilst in Olalla will be pretty short. Not a lot happens here.
We only have nine investigators, four of which I have not met and/or gotten a hold of. And three of those Elder Brown hasn't even met. Oh, dear. Our family of five, the Wilson's, are further from baptism than I originally anticipated. It'll be tough, and we'll have to work hard with them.
The area is very rural, making tracting useless, and everyone here works at the shipyard. That way, no one is home during the mornings and afternoons. It's tough to come up with stuff to do during those times and stay under miles.
Elder Brown is pretty disobedient. We don't tract 5-7's, he sleeps in until 9:30, so I get two hours of personal study, and well, there's a long list. But he's still a great guy and I'm working on it. This area is tough, but I'll be fine.
We taught the Wilson's the commandments, and I tried to commit the mom to quit smoking and drinking coffee. She said no. But I'll keep working on that, also. I taught Elder's Quorum. It was on missionary work. SURPRISE! But it went well, and I practically begged for referrals.
Well, sorry it's so short, I love you all. Hugs, loves and handshakes.
Elder Courtney Casselman
