HILL, OLIVIA

Oh hiiii! How is everyone??  I am currently very much enjoying the spring weather here in Kennewick! It's been sooo nice & there are pretty blossoms everywhere!  We've been doing lots of service projects lately which is always nice to serve & help people!

There is nothing more important than that!  Fun things:  -My district got together and painted rocks hehe -Made yummy pumpkin bread #chef -Met a girl who has a Draco shrine lol -It was 72° the other day so we spent the whole day outside walking & knocking on doors!
