This week was actually pretty busy!! It was so great! Monday we had to get out the door at 5:30 after our p-day because we actually had a lesson right at 6! Woo!! We taught C-- and he was pretty happy to see us. We shared a quick chapter from the Book of Mormon with him. Then we went around our less actives route but none of them were home, so we tried to contact some of our referrals. We were able to set up some lessons for later in the week.
Tuesday was meetings as usual. We had some exciting news in area reports though!! The investigator T-- who we met with last transfer moved up the road a little ways, just enough to where he was out of our area, so we passed him to the East area. So, during his last lesson that I had with him we didn't have much time to plan for it, but I felt really strongly to invite him to be baptized. I did and he seemed okay with it, but then both us and the East Elders couldn't contact him for a really long time. I was worried I had freaked him out. Well, in their area report the East Elders said T-- called them and was asking if he could invite friends and family to his baptism!!! That was really fun to hear about! That night we actually got super bored and Hamblin and I switched beds!! I'm bottom bunk for the first time in 17 months!!!!! Haha, it was exciting.
Wednesday I got to use my new backpack! Thank you Mommy!! We also got to go to the temple that day. It was a cool experience for me. I was really excited because I hadn't been in the longest time since I was endowed, and I missed the peaceful feeling you get there. Just a good feeling, being in such a nice place with all my friends. It was cool. Elder Hamblin got a call from the APs that night and he's training, so we guessed I would be leaving DC 3rd. Dinner was fun that night.
Thursday was so awesome! Brother Nelson, the member who knows the Rees family came out with us all day!! We were together from 12 til 4:30. We had a good number of appointments set up, but most of them ended up cancelling. Typical. Anyway, he was totally down to just contact and tract with us. While doing this, we talked about our missions and the Rees's and everything it was so much fun. He's an awesome guy!!
Elder Hamblin had a meeting for trainers that I went to with him. I got to see Elder Paul!!! I'm super bummed he's leaving on Wednesday. Caesar had us over dinner that night. He was pretty sad because the other Elders had come over that morning to clean his fish tank but they forgot to check
the water temperature they were putting in and ended up killing the fish... He had had it for 5 years. He had us break the tank with him to make sure he didn't get more pets. It was actually kinda fun to smash the huge fish tank with hammers.

Saturday was cold and rainy. Sister Cooke asked us to help with a service project cleaning up a bazaar that the United Methodist Church had. It was pretty fun. Moved lots of boxes. Then we went to C-- house for a lesson. We taught him about the Melchizedek priesthood because he'll be ready to be ordained soon. We also taught R-- that night. Gave her a blessing for her legs. It was really cool. That night was transfer call out!! I'm leaving DC 3rd!!!!!! Kinda bitter sweet. I did lots of good work here and it's just starting to come to fruition, but now I'm leaving, so I don't get to see all the results. Oh well. I'm really curious what my next area is going to be.
Sunday was pretty standard. R-- didn't make it to church this week. We went to Caesar’s for lunch, then had a stake missionary meeting with all the ward missionaries. It was pretty fun. And I got to see Elder Paul again!!
Today’s p-day has been awesome! I went down to the Library of Congress with Elder Paul. Then we went to a really good restaurant called Cava!! It was awesome! Then we went to the National Mall and saw the Capitol and stuff for his last pday. Last, we came here and listened to some of my vinyls. Now we're just hanging out!! Good day! Happy to spend it with one of my good friends!
Love you guys, have a great week!!
