| Mount Hood in the background |
So I forgot
to mention an out of this world experience I had several weeks ago. (WARNING do
not read while you eat) We were invited to eat lunch with a less active. He had
a Scottish background and was very passionate about it. He fed us a delicious
meal and right before we left, he made us fried haggis (a Scottish delicacy) .
Haggis is grounded up cow heart, lung, brain, liver, and intestines.. I wanted to have something very memorable
and brave to write down in my journal so I ate it!! It wasn't
very good...I could eat it if I had too, but it wasn't one of my favorite
foods. Haha so my mission is foreign! Estacada is very foreign to the rest of
the areas, but I absolutely love it! I have awesome stories to tell and interesting experiences
like giving several blessings in the back of someone's car...Anyway back on
track with this week.

| At the Portland Temple |
I was
able to go to the Portland temple to attend a session on Saturday. It was such
a great experience. (I kinda got a little emotional, but I held it together!
;) There was a recent convert there from Portland who took out her endowments that very session.
I had to congratulate her! It bought back a lot of tender memories. It is crazy
how I have changed in so many ways...hopefully for good haha! I have more
courage to talk to random strangers then I did before that's for sure
especially talking about the gospel! After the temple we went as a district to
Applebee's and ate lunch. Then the Peterson's took us to Costco while we were
still in Lake Oswego (the city haha) and I was able to get a great rain coat for
only $30! It works fantastic! It is light, warm, keeps out the rain, water
repellent, and stylish haha! I love Costco! I
love the Peterson's! ️

| My new raincoat |
It has been rain, rain, rain, and more rain! ️ I
love it! (probably because I am not in it as much thanks to the car!) tomorrow
is suppose to be cloudy. ️ Every
now and then the sun peaks out of the clouds and you get a couple of moments of
sunshine️ which I love! Reminds me that there is always hope in
any dreary situation! :) Perfect timing with the winter package Mom! spot on! The sweaters keep me warm and toasty!

| Storm was a bit windy! |

costume parade, and a trunk of treat! Super excited! Getting a little bit
nervous with upcoming transfers...anyway we are in for an exciting week this
week!
I hope you all have a great week full of joy, love, and happiness! I love you
all so much!
Love,
Elder Shaw
