So, some people might wonder "What happens when I get off the plane
for the Washington, D.C. North Mission?" I'll tell you, you get
handed a Book of Mormon and thrown on the metro with a task to give it
to someone you don't even know! Yikers!!! I didn't give mine away,
but I did talk to some people! Then we went to the mission presidents
house, and ate dinner, and slept and ate breakfast and then went to
the temple visitors center! That's where we got our trainers! My
companions name is Elder Rummler, he is from Washington state, and we
get along super well!! We like tons of the same stuff so we have
plenty to talk about! He hasn't seen Frozen, so I always sing the
music from it to confuse him! It's awesome! I don't think I could
ask for a better trainer!! So far I've been to a lesson with a girl
who has a baptismal date, and a lesson with a recent convert! Plus
some trying to find people whose addresses don't exist, aren't home,
or are just straight up ghosts. Haha, were over a singles ward so
it's a little because it's summertime and for some reason people do
stuff then.. Weird huh? So there has been a little time for tracting
and I've gotta say, even when people slam the door in my face I really
can't help but love everyone out here!! It's awesome how I've been
blessed to love the people in this area! Except this one guy... He
bugs me. His name is Keante, and he is an antichrist. He really just
wants to destroy the church.. He was Edler Rummlers last area, he
pretty much just goes around harassing church members with stupid
questions. For example, yesterday after church he came into the
chapel and a lady from our ward said he was asking questions so she
came and got us because she thought he was interested in the church.
As soon as he saw Elder Rummler he was like "oh, go get someone else,
I've already talked to you" which pretty much means Elder Rummler
dominated his questions. Anyway, the ward mission leader ended up
talking to him with a couple of us right there, and even though Jason
(the ward mission leader) was answering all his dumb questions well
all Keante wanted to was bash, so Jason just said listen I appreciate
our time, but you don't want to understand you just want to argue so
we left and he swore at us in the chapel as we left, and one of the
ward members heard him and went over and got really mad at him, and I
don't know the full story but she ended up getting really upset, and
the police were called and they finally got Keante out of the
building. He used to be a member.. I wonder what happened.. It kind
reminds me of the story of Korihor.. Anyway, besides that little
encounter I LOVE IT OUT HERE!!!! I'll email again on Friday because
we get an all day Pday because why not on the 4th of July in the
Capitol!!!
I love you all!!!
Elder Sorensen
