I miss clothes. This morning I am homesick, but instead of thinking of that--let's talk about why it is great here, in Marysville and Tulalip! I will list things, or bullet, or something.

1- One day, we walked by a park--MUSIC WAS PLAYING (Yall, I miss music) Anywho--The Xx was playing!!! I was kind of in heaven. Shout out to all my hipsters, like yolo.

3- I got a door slammed in my face, TWICE, the first day. Got to stay humble somehow.  People are so much more open to God and religion here compared to Utah.  The weirdest thing here though is that people think Mormon's are racist? That's why it is coll Sister Amataga is my companion! Story--> Woman was talking at church about how excited she was to have such colorful sisters in the ward. I like look down at what we are wearing... and am like YA WE DO LOOK CUTE. Nope... she goes onto talking about the Natives... meaning glad for the brown colored sister. Never a dull moment!

4- I MISS MY MTC peeps. We luckily get to see each other for training and stuff. And fireside things. There is one this Saturday!

5- Washington is gorgeous.
6- Washington is beautiful.
7- Washington is wonderful.
8- Washington.
9- Hey, Washington is cool.
10- Hey, you can wear a sweater everyday in Washington and not look like a fool.... hashtag yolo.
17 <------- The number that's inspired so many songs that are trying to come to my mind. Guys, MU-SIC. That's a thing. A things that I'm like hiii.  At WinCo yesterday Dave Mathews was playing. You know I sang dat ish.
18. Mission car. Toyota falalalalala Whenever we back up, I have to direct. Like... legit outside of the car.  Oe time a lady was like "What is she doing?" Now, I make Amataga laugh because I do different personalities.
22- Reservation life again. These people look like Jacobs and stuff. Haay Twilight fans. The story may be real, considering the area I am in.
23- Ate at a members house on the Bay. NBD. Their house is by two islands called Woodsby and Kamino ( I think). Cute, humble family.
24- Ruby, my bud, sat next to me at church with "sister teddy."  It is dressed up with a nametag, scriptures, everything. Ruby would keep looking up at me. And my tag. And copy how I sit.  We are basically BBFs.
26- You know that saying raining cats and dogs. It's real. EVERYONE AND THEIR DOG, HAS A CAT OR DOG AND THEN SOME.
27- Rusty. That's Ruby's dog. He is a golder retriever who is also my buddy ole pal.
35- I am getting better at door approaches. Also, an orange cat followed ME. Not my companion, me. For an hour. Soul mates. #meow
39- p.s. Margaret sent me a journal she got from DC National Art Gallery when I was there. She is a sly foxy lady auntie.
46- Moss everywhere. And it is beautiful!
47- I LOVE THE GUIL CEDA CREEK WARD.
48- It hailed this morning, for so long. The conditions are so wacky and now it's super sunny.

Sincerely, Sister Sarah Ruthie Bell!
