Scatter Sunshine ☀️ Week #75 09.25.17

So it's been a solid week here in Juneau. We had two sunny days in the
same week and that is unheard of... it was super good though. It's
starting to get dark quick though which means the winter is coming.
The leaves here are starting to turn color just a little bit but it's
still actually really green still.

So this week was just a normal week full of missionary work. On Monday
we got to say goodbye to one of the kids in our wards that is headed
off on his mission. His name is Mahina. He is going to the Orem Utah
Mission and he is really excited. It was fun to get to know him before
he took off.

On Tuesday we had missionaries flyin in and out getting to their new
areas so we were pretty busy just getting them around and to and from
the airport. And then on Wednesday was basically the same. Wednesday
was a super sunny day and we ended up going downtown which we do all
the time, but we went right up to the docks and as people flooded off
the boats we talked to them and passed out cards with a picture of
Jesus. There were a few members that got off and took pictures with us
it was a lot of fun. We had lots of good conversations and just
enjoyed walking around and talking to tons of people.

Oh we also saw a pretty cool little old red car so we took a pic by it
so I'll attach that haha. This week we had quite a few lessons and
they went good. Our best one was with Dylan. He is preparing to be
baptized on the 7th of October and he is doing so well. His best
friends are preparing to serve missions and have been big influences
on him. This next semester he is going to go to snow college in Utah
and I'll home before he gets done with school. So I'm hoping to catch
up with him then and hopefully help him to get out and serve a mission
for himself. That would be so sick.

This week we got to do some solid service. We helped out at Helping
hands and that's always super fun and then we ended up helping this
lady in another ward move some stuff and getting all settled and
helped her clean out her storage unit. On the bright side we got a
free couch out of it for the crib.

Umm not much else has been going on I'll have a lot more coming in the
next couple of weeks because it's about to get super busy up here in
the Juneau Zone.

Life is good and we are headed to the tram today to check out the top
of the mountain and the shops that are up there. Well I hope you all
have a good week and I will talk to you later.
