This week felt so long! It was super fun though. Here are some of the highlights:
We had zone conference this week, which was super. It was all about using our devices, like our new ipads, effectively. More training on all the stuff we’re learning about how to use them correctly and safely. I realized something this week too- due to when zone conferences take place- I have only ever attended zone conference in Silver Springs! Woot! Silver Springs is definitely the best zone in the mission!!
We went to two dinner appointments together with Elder Parker and Elder Buanocore this week. One in our area and one in theirs. It was a good time together! We ate at The Paynes, who is our branch mission leader, and The Aquistos, who are in the other elders’ ward. We also went to Smoothie King with them and Sister Mays this week. Sister Mays is so awesome!!
I think on Friday we had a really cool experience taking the metro home. We were coming back from Gallaudet campus and happened to get into the same metro car as two deaf ladies who work at the university. It was my first time contacting someone using sign language, so it was super fun for me! We chatted with them until our stop and I actually held up a conversation!! It felt so good and was so cool to me to be able to communicate on my own.
This week we finally got Elder Tracy’s bike fixed. We finished it on Saturday, so we were going to bike our way to church on Sunday morning. Then all of sudden Elder Tracy’s pedal fell off his bike! So we ended up walking our bikes to church. Elder Tracy gave a really nice testimony though about how that is kind of like life. We have trials to help us grow, and we need to keep on keeping on. We also decided that Heavenly Father really doesn’t want us to bike right now. Other than that, it’s just been doing our best to keep our lessons and contact up without our car!
I’m really excited for General Conference this week! We get to go to two really cool members houses- so I am stoked!
I love you guys!!
