'Washington is just great'

From Sister Nielsen to her mom and dad

Monday, March 30, 2015

I don't have a lot of time, but I loved being able to talk to you before I left! The work is slow, but great! President and Sister Ware are wonderful and sweet as can be! He loves us all so genuinely! I can't decide if he's the one that gave me the bear, but I really don't care either way! :)

I sent you the mass email! Washington is just great. Things in Pasco are great, but slow. My companion is Samoan and very patient with me. I love her.

The members in Pasco are golden! I'm already growing to love it here so much. However, there are zero mountains. Hills. And like two bigger hills that they call mountains. It's the weirdest. I never know which way is which. If it weren't for the sun, I would never know!!

Send me letters, too! It'd be great to get mail from everyone during the week, too!

Love,
Sister Nielsen

On that note, we received a letter today from the mission home regarding mail. All letters and packages are to be sent by way of the US Postal Service. If sent any other way, they may come with an additional cost to forward them to her. They are also to be sent to the mission home. That address is (and should read):

Sister Melanie Nielsen
Washington Kennewick Mission
8202 W. Quinault Ave. #D
Kennewick, WA 99336-1017

Please see to it that the packages are practical... like treats that she can share or consume. That way she won't have to pack them from one apartment to another when she is assigned to a new area.

The images pictured are a map of the tri-city area (so when you hear Sister Nielsen mention Pasco, like she did in this message, you'll know what she is talking about), and a view of the tri-city area so you can understand how flat it is.





Thank you for all you do to support our missionary!

Love to all,
Russell and Cindy
