haha, just kidding, i'm not in a fish tank, but I am in Maryland and the sun is shinging and it's super Fresh outside...which means - FALLS COMING!!! The humidity is basically gone and it's 60's when I get up and go running in the morning and no more than 85 during the day! It's awesome! Just in case anyone wanted to know about the weather :D

 

This week was pretty good! We had an investigator who we were meeting with to teacht the Restoration and we were going to have lunch with him and a member..While we were waiting for the member, we got to know him a little bit better and explain a little bit more about what we are about. Well, He had a HUGE/AWESOME question for us that has to do with Meso-American History...He said that the legends say that a White man appeared to the inhabitants of Meso-American back in like 34 AD and that they worship him and he was there god and that he said he would return  again but that there is no record of that in any book - that it is just legend. WELL - IT IS IN A BOOK, IT IS NOT JUST LEGEND, AND WE'D LOVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT!!!! OH man it was so cool! then our member showed up and we had lunch..then taught him the Restoration and about the Book of Mormon. It was super awesome...on the way to lunch I learned a little more Meso-American history from my companion and so some of the gaps were filled in. YEP! Check it out sometime...then go read 3 Nephi 11...it will fill in the gaps (ps - 3 Nephi is a book in the Book of Mormon, named after the prophets in the Book of Mormon just like the books in the Bible).

 

That was our super exciting thing this week. Other - oh we are teaching this couple, Noemi and Julio, and Julio is super knowledgable about the Bible...he says that he doesn't usually have time to go to church but he always studies the Bible and he's all for reading the Book of Mormon and learning if it is the Word of God, as is the Bible. YAY!! Super huge miracles - Heavenly Father is so good to us!

 

Things are going well...I can't believe we are almost to the middle of September. This Saturday, we get to do a walk with our ward with the Youth because it is service Saturday. So we are leading them from the chapel to a nature walk on temple grounds (btw- temple grounds is 57 Acres with a LOT of trees! Gorgeous!)...it is a walk for the homeless and anyone can come so we are helping out one of the Young Women's leaders and being leaders for the walk. [ps - i get to wear jeans and vans - YES! don't get me wrong I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! but i miss my jeans sometimes :P]

 

OH - and we have a new exhibit at the VC that is overwhelmingly powerful! Paintings "Yesterday, Today, and Forever" of how Christ's church is the same today as it was when he lived and will be the same forever. Check out the artist - Julie Rogers! She gave an amazing Devotional about how the spirit guided the paintings...I will let you know some when I take some pictures in the exhibit :D

Well.. that's what I got. I will have you know though that I went shopping today and resisted buying anything! haha...yep! oh wait - okay, I bought 2 shirts but they were on sale. I'm trying, I'm trying :P

 

Well that's all I really have this week. Oh and I love you all! Keep up the family nights! and get to the temple! Both are super important and things the Lord has asked us to do. And the Lord promises blessings with everything! Blessings = money from the Lord.... and that is the only money that really matters :D

Stay safe!
