Do you have any senior couple missionaries? What are they like?
We do! We have quite a few! They mostly work in the mission office and are in charge of our vehicles, housing, and all that other paperwork jazz. They are the best!
How often do you go to Kennewick?
Pretty much never. I think I've been maybe two or three times in the past four or so months that I've been here. Kennewick and Richland are on the south side of the Columbia River, while Pasco is on the north. The temple is in Richland. But we have a few temple trips, transfer meetings, etc. that are over there in Richland, but we don't go very often.
Do you run out of miles all the time like our missionaries do?
My companion and I have tried to be really good about how we use our miles. The YSA we are over covers all of Pasco. So we would be driving quite a bit, but we try to find rides from YSA members so we can save on miles. We also try to walk as much as we can when we're in our smaller areas.
How big is Pasco?
The "Welcome to Pasco" sign says somewhere around 60,000. Maybe closer to 70,000.
What do people there do for a living... like, who are the major employers for the area?
There's a place called Hanford (I think it's over by Richland...? I'm not sure). Apparently it was the site for some plutonium testing back when they were making the bombs for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and they're doing some restoration work to make it, like, not radioactive anymore. Tons of people work there. About five times out of 10, people will say they work in some department of some sort over there. Four times out of 10, someone is a farmer. The others are something else just random, I suppose! Lots of farms and farmers!
