HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKE AND NICK!!!!!!!!! I love you both so much! I hope you had amazing 14th and 9th birthdays! So, I think I mentioned Monday last week was a super fun party day and we had 11 of us sleeping over and hanging out and it was awesome. Anyway, Tuesday was the same as always, we had zone district meeting, and then we had FHE that night. Metroing in between. Elder Demill and I talked a lot about choir after FHE and it was awesome.
Wednesday Elder Hamblin and Elder Zollinger realized they were like... 100% out of food... So we ran up to Costco to get them some groceries. I saw Michelle Ferguson, I guess Michelle Lioi, the one who married Mike. It was cool! Then Elder Thornton and Elder Tanner came over to go on exchange with Zollinger and Palmer. Thornton also cut my hair while he was here so it didn't look like, as he puts it, there's a cat on my head. Then we had our ward dinner. The family was out of town so they had the Amharic Elders pick up some pizza for us. It was delicious!
Thursday was a kinda sad day... William was leaving for Utah, but he stopped by here in the morning and we got breakfast. It was really nice to just get to sit and talk with him for a while before he left. After studies and all that we went to see a recent convert J-- who Elder Rummler had worked with when he was in this area. It was really fun! When we got there the sister missionaries were with her, and were just leaving. So J-- got a double dose of missionaries that day, but she came to church and Why I Believe on Sunday so I guess it worked out for her!! Ceasar had us over for dinner, and then asked me to help more with his technical troubles... Haha, he thinks I'm some sort of tech guru now.
Friday was fun because Elder Palmer had Elder McDonald over for exchanges. He's a really funny new Elder from Alpine. Ceasar invited us all for breakfast, omelettes and pancakes. Yum. Then when we got home the ASL Elders called and stopped by to talk for a bit. It was really fun to see Tracy and French again. Then that night we had an appreciation dinner from the 5K we helped with in September. The best part, it was in a pub!!! Haha, just kidding, the best part was I got to see Elder Paul. It was kinda funny to see so many missionaries in an Irish pub contacting people and trying to share the gospel. It made my day. I got your package that day, mom, thank you!!! Then we came home and talked with Palmer and McDonald. Then we were all hungry so I grilled up some brats and we ate those, then went to bed. It was a really good day!!
Saturday I felt kinda sick, and Elder Hamblin felt really sick, so we stayed in most of the day, but we had a lesson with R-- and we weren't gonna miss that! We had a really good lesson about church and the baptismal interview questions. She said she was going to be at church the next day, and we were super stoked! Then as we were waiting for the bus to take us home we heard a lot of party music so I danced on the side of the street a little. It was fun. Actually contacted a few people because of that. We took the bus to the metro stop and were waiting for our train, and up the escalator comes our zone leaders! It was so crazy we ran into them! Haha, we rode a few stops to our house with them, but they had to ride the red line all the way up.. That's a long trip.
Sunday was really busy and good. Church was fun, we helped Elder Tanner and Elder Thornton during Sunday school with programs for Why I Believe. Ceasar invited us all for dinner of course. It got really smoky when we were there... So we all smelled like fried meats. We got to the visitors center early with Elder Thornton and Elder Tanner to help with programs and such again. Then I was really self conscious about smelling like fried chicken, so I asked Sister Amparo if they had an perfume in visitors center... They did. So, instead of smelling like fried chicken, I smelled like twilight woods. Haha... Lots of funny experiences this week. Why I Believe was good. I sat in the back, and not in the ASL section which was super duper strange for me.. But I got to see lots of friends and have a good spiritual experience with them. The speaker talked a lot about the temple, and I'm super pumped about the temple right now because I haven't been in like... Three months which is the longest time for me since I got my temple recommend, so I am super looking forward to going in a few weeks. I love the temple. Okay, I love you all and hope everything back home is great!!
