Well I am now in the Burlington/Sedro-Wooley area. They recently just combined these two areas. The sisters in the area used to cover Burlington and the elders covered Sedro, but they just took the elders out and gave us the whole area so we are basically white washing! It's crazy but also exciting. Again, it's an area that needs a lot of work, there are like no investigators and no one on date for baptism or anything, but we are determined to build this area up!
Here's my new address (it's been updated on the main page of the blog as well):
405 Norris St.
Apt. #101
Burlington, WA 98233
My companion is Sister Jones, she's been out one transfer longer than me and she is wonderful. She is laid back, super low maintenance, and very, very sweet. And we laugh like all the time! She has just been such a blessing.
The ward is really sweet, the building is old and has a cool chapel. There is no A/C though, so it's super hot on Sundays, but it's okay, we live. We have this super sweet investigator "H", he is old and uses a walker and his mind is kinda gone, but it's so sweet - every time he sees me he says "oh Sister Wawro, I love you." It melts my heart every time!
On Mondays, my email time will happen at the library - we rent out laptops. (And, in response to mom's question about stores/conveniences nearby)...YES! All of it...Walmart, Costco, Michaels, outlet malls, like...everything! :)
So yeah, it's been a pretty good week and I'm looking forward to what this area has in store. :) Lots of pictures this week...
Love,
Sister Wawro

Saying goodbye to Lake Stevens people!
Napoleon Dynamite! YESSS!!!!! Ha ha!
The goodbyes at the apartment.
Sister Yeager gave me the best hug! LOL
Sis. Moss drove us... so sweet.
Sis. Goode was my temporary companion at transfers, since Sis. Jones was at the
doctor, so we just hung out at the mission office together
My area is called "Skagit River 2nd". The two big towns we have are Burlington and Sedro Wooley, but we also have Lyman and Hamilton - small
towns on the border
Lots of hills in our area.. so pretty
WE GOT SONIC!
It's literally been a year since I've had Sonic, and I've
missed it on the hot Washington days! I think we found the only Sonic in
all of Washington! LOL! We found it on the way to Sis. Jones doctor
appointment - she's from Arkansas and loves Sonic too. Yep! Mozzarella sticks and cranberry slush...my faves!!! #bestdayever
Sis. Jones... our first Sunday at church together!
Our apartment
We ate one day at Denny's for breakfast! It's because of the Sahitos' in my last area.
They gave me free Denny's cards before I left! :)
