Woohoo! Yep, we went and took sunrise pictures this morning! it was awesome. But let me just tell you that you best not freak out when you get of on the wrong Metro stop because of the Lord's timing and your companion needed to talk to someone who had missionaries before and not now only because she MOVED states. I felt schmuky all day (if that's even a word). But its all good! It was a fun day and we did many things. Dad - you and mom need to come and pick me up and see all the sights :D it would be awesome! Just think on that a bit...next October :)
We tried to see the National Archives but it was closed up top with these HUGE black doors so we just took some pictures and left it like that :) Another day.
Well - I met a man named Aloysius (al-O-wish-US) this week!!! HAHAHAH!! SOO COOL! he was really nice and said he'd like to meet with missionaries(super plus). We also got a ....B-DATE!!! YAY! Heavenly Father is so GOOD! We went to stop by a less active family who lives in the far reaches of our area and they were home. The mom and 17 yr old daughter are members but the 13 yr old son was never baptized. We talked about it and he was like "yeah. it feels like the right thing to do" and he recognizes that there is a different feeling at church/when the Spirit is there :D so cool! so yes, he'll be baptized December 1st!
And another less active couple we visited...who i havn't seen at church since ive been in the area...were at church on Sunday! HOW COOL IS THAT?! and our B-date (Ariel) was there too :D
What else happened this week? Oh - CAR Fast! Okay, yes that sounds a little weird but it was awesome! We talked to so many people and got some referrals for the English sisters. Oh and the cool part is we did have some lessons and we walked to them (I was on exchange in my area with a sister from China -English Speaking missionary) the poor sister...but she did so awesome! She just chimed in not even knowing what was going on, but didn't miss a beat :D Super legit!
Well just a few Items of random notes of love:
-Kaity WORD- CONGRATULATIONS!!! Still can't believe it! Wish I could be there but it is all good - I trust this Andrew kid...my seester deserves the best!
-TRENT - Happy BIRTHDAY!!! How did you celebrate?! Something super awesome, I'm sure! but seriously - you're awesome and I hope you had a rad birthday!
-Random mission excitement for all to hear - soo...there is a Sister Fehlman in my mission who one of her good friends just got her mission call to Taiwan and in the call letter it says she will finish her mission in China when it opens!! WHAT?! How cool is that!? I'll tell you our Chinese sisters are a little giddy about it, that's for sure :D
well...that's about all I've got. I'll do my best to get letters out next week and email (but we might have P-day on Thanksgiving and the Libraries would be closed) I love you all! I want you to know that it is always going to be okay. Stop complaining. Start Praying. The Lord will help you even overcome yourself if you really want to change. Alma 7:11-12 :)
Con Amor!
