Rain...Green...Mexican...

Hi MOM!!!

Elder Webb & Elder Olson & Elder McCown
I am on Vancouver Island!!! I'm in Port Alberni!!! Sooooo pretty!! And SOOOOOO GREEEN!!! I have enjoyed nearly every minute here on the island and the work is great. It just rains every... single.... day..... But I'm good on the coat. One of the previous elders had left a coat behind and I’m just going to hold onto it so I think I will be fine.  My new companion is Elder Webb. He's kind of goofy but really nice.  I have enjoyed learning so much. I' m hungry all the time though!!! It sucks being poor . jkjk.  We are actually doing just fine.  The members apparently will feed us a lot which is good because everything is expensive here on the island. And yeah... dad should be very jealous.... it's sooooo beautiful and green.  There is a place here where they filmed part of the star wars movies.  We haven't been there yet but we plan on going next pday.  So how is everyone been at home?!!? ya'll miss me yet?!? I sure miss you guys.  I have learned a lot about how to not function with any sleep these past couple days.  When you go to sleep... it feels like when you wake up you only took a 20 minutes nap. Thank goodness the Lord is there to get me through the day.  We went to a Mexican restaurant place today.... it shouldn't be considered a Mexican restaurant from my point of view. soooo bland.  Everything is going great!!! My companion is very stressed though, but I think that's why we have been called to be companions.  I kind of balance him out in a way I think.  Well I sure miss ya’ll and hope to hear from you soon!!

Love

Elder McCown
