Snow in Seattle!

Yes that's right everyone. Snow in Seattle. I was on an assistant exchange in Federal Way again with my last companion Elder Bunton and it started snowing harder and harder. Snow in Seattle is very unusual. They have no snow plows or anything so the roads are crazy. We were informed by our mission president to head home early and park our cars. We started our drive up interstate 5 when BAM! Traffic! It took 4 hours to drive from Federal Way to Seattle. This is half the distance of Cedar City to Saint George and it took four hours. We had a giant sleep over at our 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment with 5 missionaries on Dexter Ave in Seattle. ha ha We then were stuck inside (luckily it was P-day) and our temple trip was postponed. We are driving again today but our cars will most likely have to be parked at 7:00 P.M before it freezes too much again. The High the last couple days has been in between 22 F and 38F. So basically its freezing cold. People forget its moist here so it feels a lot colder. People are babies about driving though. ha ha That's how Suzanne put it anyway (Suzanne from Jersey who was just baptized). We have a half mission activity this week but it might have to be postponed or cancelled as well. We also had to move back our investigators baptismal dates due to lack of teaching them because of weather conditions. Life in Seattle is cold, SNOWY, and full of out of the ordinary news. As much as I want to write more events about this week I must go. I'll have to make it up to everyone. Let me know what I can do. I love you all and keep up the good spirits,,, even when it's freezing.

Love,

Elder Bottema
