My fifth area was located in Gig Harbor, Washington. I served in the Wollochet ward from September-October 2014 (1 transfer). I only spent one transfer in this absolutely BEAUTIFUL area, but it was such a good one. Living in a little blue house only a 5 minute walk from the harbor couldn't have been better. Honestly, if there were anywhere in the mission that I would go back and live, this would be the place.
From my final report...
“Wherever life takes you, be happy. Life, as we have frequently noticed, is full of hard times and trials. However, when we notice the good things in life, when we take the time to see the Lord guiding our lives, suddenly the world doesn’t seem like such a dark place.” -Jesse Pothoof

I
have learned a lot about attitude on my mission. Days can get tough, but only
if you let them. We have to be a visual aid for what we are teaching. I have
frequently asked myself, “Am I happy because I have the plan of happiness?” My
last two transfers, my mission went on hyper-speed as I spent six weeks in
Wollochet, three weeks in Silverdale 6th, and then three weeks
covering both Silverdale and Bainbridge Island. This time solidified an
important lesson Heavenly Father had been trying to teach me about attitude:
gratitude."
