Transfers: I Got Elder Parker!

This week was fun! 

Elder Tracy our last days together...  But we did have a really fun last week together, and ended on a good note. 

Then on Wednesday I GOT ELDER PARKER!!!!  (Elder Parker was an apartment mate with Bennie in December.) Elder Greding, one of my old roommates came up to me after the meeting and all he said was, “I can't believe you.”  He's jealous I've had such a nice mission.  The only thing that could have been better this transfer was if Elder Tracy stayed too, but we'll make do.

That night we got to go to Gallaudet campus and eat dinner with J-.  It was pretty good.  He invited us back to eat breakfast there Friday morning because they make awesome omelets and wraps and stuff.  It was delicious. 

Anyway, Thursday, we started a Family History initiative in the Silver Spring zone.  It was a good meeting, and they helped figure out how easy it can be to get stuff done on there. 

Then Friday, we had breakfast with J-.  Awesome.  We also went to go see a less active.  It was a pretty ghetto place of DC- we call it Trinidad.  Anyway, then we went back to campus for lunch with the Wardles, and institute.  It was super fun.  The Wood family came to institute too.  Elder Wood is a WDCN missionary who ended his mission on Wednesday and his family came and picked him up and stayed here for a couple days.  Anyway, it was a really good turnout for institute because of them. Then we had a few appointments cancel later in the day so we just tried contacting people. 

This week we got two referrals.  So we've tried emailing them because that's the only info we've gotten from them.  Sunday we went and interpreted at the Carrollton Ward because a member there had a baby blessing and invited some non-member friends.  They weren't interested, but they appreciated us being there.  Then we got called last minute to teach Priesthood and Gospel Principles.  Well, the deal was we asked the Elders Quorum President to help us with Priesthood, and Parker interpreted Priesthood and I would teach Gospel Principles. 

Well, right when Gospel Principles was starting our Branch President came in and said, there's no one in gospel doctrine, so you guys come join us.  I got off the hook for both because we combined Priesthood and Relief Society too.  It was great.  Parker was so mad; it was hilarious.

Sunday night we had a Why I Believe Fireside at The Visitors’ Center.  The new director of the Visitors Center spoke with his wife.  It was pretty fun. 

So, I know everyone likes a good language flub story to tell people about, so here's mine.  It's from a couple weeks ago.  We were at dinner with a less active member, and I was trying to sign that I was full, so I put my hand on my stomach and moved it out.  Turns out that's the sign for pregnant...  So I got some heat for that one...  Haha.  If you're full hit the back of your hand on the bottom of your chin.  Today we played hockey.  It was pretty fun.  I got some good videos with the Go Pro. We should figure out some iCloud thing so I can share this with you guys!  Now we're at Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch.  It's been a great week!!!
