This week was alright, here goes nothing. Tuesday we had our zone district meeting. It was pretty good. We were doing contacting role plays and they set up a metro contacting role play where we get on the 'metro' (a bunch of chairs in the gym) and contact the person. I contacted Sister Parker who is an ASL missionary right now, so I got to use my sign language. It made me really happy. We actually had a kinda funny story getting to the church that morning. We metroed up to the temple metro stop and were gonna get a ride from the French Elders but a car pulled and a couple people got out and then the driver said, you guys going to the temple? Get in I'm headed that way. So we were like, okay cool, a member is giving us a ride. We asked in the car, so are you a member? And he was like, no, I'm actually Jewish. Umm... What? Then as he kept telling us about himself he told us he was married for twelve years and that didn't work out, and now he's been living with his partner for 15 years... So.. Yeah. That was our ride to the church. It was pretty fun! He was really nice and cool. Just a surprise.
Wednesday was so awesome! I went on exchange with Elder Paul! He was my district leader towards the start of my mission, and he's my zone leader now. I took my vinyl player and we jammed out during lunch, then we went and did some work in their area. We had an awesome dinner with a member, and went to an institute class too. It was so much fun. We jammed out to Coldplay. It was the best.
Thursday we went to Caesars for lunch, then had a lesson with A--. Our lesson went well and he seemed happier and agreed to come to church. Unfortunately he didn't end up showing up to church...
Friday we got pulled out of our area for 9/11. Our whole zone went up to the farm. Our mission has a farm area, and so we went and helped there. We built a fence and did a corn maze. It was super fun because I got to hang out with Elder Paul all day again!! Then we came home and were required to stay in our apartments so we played some games together.
Saturday morning we were out the door at 6:20 for our service project. Our whole zone helped volunteer at a 5K for a charity that helps the blind. It was fun. We got there in our proselyting clothes an they gave us yellow tie dye volunteer shirts that we put on over our white shirts. Then it rained the whole time... So... We had stains on our shirts.. Yikes!! We did get to do a lap around the Nats stadium which was super cool though! During the race a deaf and blind man with his interpreter were doing the race and I said hi to the interpreter and then the deaf and blind man wanted to talk to me so I got to do tactile signing with him!!! That's where when I sign he holds my wrist and feels what I'm signing
and then responds. It was so freaking cool!!! Oh my gosh!!!
Then Sunday we went to church. It was pretty good. We talked about the word of wisdom, and home teaching. Then we came home for lunch, and we're heading out to our lesson with R-- when she called and cancelled... Sad panda. But we'll meet with her this Sunday, and we have a lesson with a new investigator tonight!
