Joys of a foreign comp!

Well its been a couple weeks so I thought I would write a nice little email about the greater Seattle area! Well nothing to much has been happening in our area, our transfers were yesterday, Yang and I are still together for 1 more transfer. He is a funny kid,  English is his 3rd language and he's not from America so you u could guess that he has a lot of questions😊 like I'll say something like "get outta dodge" and you always know when they don't understand cause they will repeat it back to you with a confused look on their face, and their tone of voice is confused also. I find myself explaining  what "get outta dodge" means and sometimes I have to explain my explanation😂 and it just becomes all sorts of confusing for them and at the end of the day he doesn't understand what I  meant😂 and other times he'll ask me how to spell a word,  and I  realize that I don't know how to spell the word, then I go to  my phone and spell it, and hope auto correct gets it right! So in essence O become a walking Dictionary, Thesaurus, and an English major, The joys of having a foreign companion! Then also up here there are  a lot and I  mean a lot of Asians. They work for Boeing, Microsoft or Amazon, and some days we run into more Chinese then Americans which is super nice. And  since I don't speak Chinese and Yang does, he takes over and I can just sit back and relax as he talks to them! Which some days is the best!
Other then that I love the Lord and my mission Seattle is a grand Ole place and until next time.
