This week feels like it started forever ago!! It was really, really good though. So, Tuesday we had some really good lessons. And in between finished up moving all the stuff out of the old apartment. It was pretty solid. I love the people we get to work with here.
Wednesday we got to go to The Chamberlains all day long!! I love The Chamberlains so so much! They're awesome! I'm gonna be so sad to leave this ward and not see them for a while. We helped them clean out the garage and then take down Christmas decorations, then we got to play some basketball and board games! It was so much fun.
New Year's Eve was super fun! We had a few elders stay over and stayed up till the New Year. Then we went to bed but I couldn't sleep for whatever reason so Elder Van Wagoner and I stayed up and talked all night. During the day on New Year's Eve though, we had zone district meeting which was fun. We also had to pick up a bike from the Patuxent sisters which took forever, but at least we have it now. Then we checked on a list of people Bishop gave us to figure out about and made some good progress on it. After that we had a lesson with A-! It was really good. Her progress is awesome. We also got to play pie face, which if you saw the video was really fun. We were invited to a progressive dinner with 4 families in the ward. The Cottles, (Bishop and his family) the Nichols, the Sutherlands, and the Cheneys (I served in the singles ward when their daughter Katelynn was here in the summer time). Katelynn was in town so it was fun to catch up with her, and I love all four of those families so it was awesome to just be with them on New Year's Eve and spend time with some of my favorite people.
New Year's Day was a non-proselyting day so we got to hang out with the elders that stayed over for a while then we all had dinner appointments. We were invited to Elder Summit and Elder Talbot’s dinner appointment, which was really nice.
Saturday morning we played basketball and then we went to The Chamberlains again! They love having us over and we love going over, so it's a win-win situation. They have seriously become my family away from home. I'm so happy I met them, and am so grateful for the love and care they've
shown me.
shown me.
Sunday we switched to 9 o’clock church! Yikes! It was really good though. We had three people bring non-members, so we have a couple of new potentials! It's really exciting! After church we came home and chilled for a bit, then went to our ward correlation meeting with Brother Heath the ward mission leader. He's so awesome. He's a great ward mission leader. I really enjoy working with him. We headed to dinner after that with The Barrows. They're a really nice family, and I really like listening to Brother Barrow. He has some really cool spiritual insights about the things we share with them. After that we finished the night at The Cusics by helping them with some homework and Christmas decorations! I love this ward!
Guess what, I started my last journal this week!! So exciting! I plan to finish this one right in sync with the ending of my mission, so wish me luck! Still going strong writing everyday!! I love you guys-- have an awesome week for me!!
