It’s Tuesday and we were in Moses Lake! We had a full day of interviews here with most of the Moses Lake Zone. Tomorrow morning we’ll finish up here. I continue to ask each missionary, “If you could have any 3 wishes, what would they be?” I’m also taking pictures of their tracting/proselyting bags and what’s in them. I’m also asking the Elders to describe their favorite tie and the Sisters to describe their favorite dress or skirt.
Come see our day:
Elder Hamblin and Elder Coker, serving in the Moses Lake 5th Ward
Elder Hamblin: I wish to be able to dunk a basketball. I wish for a lifetime supply of strawberry lemonade, and I wish for lots of money. My favorite tie is dark gray with shiny red pineapples.
Elder Coker: I wish to be able to grow a relationship with my Heavenly Father. I wish to help people understand the love He has for them. I wish to become something i never thought I would be so that after my mission I can can take what I learn here to help others. My favorite tie is black with maroon lines going diagonally across.
Elder Ence and Elder Anderson, Zone Leaders in Wenatchee dropped by to say hello. We’ll visit with them tomorrow. They kindly brought us the most delicious hand made sandwiches.
Elder Spitzer and Elder Anderson, serving in the Moses Lake 3rd Ward:
Elder Spitzer: I wish to be perfect (including as a missionary). I wish for no debt, ever. I wish to have an awesome family of my own. I’m wearing my favorite tie. I made it myself. It’s black with purple flowers.
