Week 96: Cherry Blossom Parade

Okay, weekly time.  We’ll start with Tuesday.  It was pretty good.  We had five lessons!  We had a lesson with L-.  It was the first one in a while. It went surprisingly well.  Not on our part, we studied and practiced for this lessons for ours.  On his part, because he's kinda harder to explain things to and doesn't always understand.  But it went well!  Then we went to Sonic for lunch!  It was so fun!  The Sonic here just opened!  First one in the mission!  After that we went and visited with S-.  We got to talk to him about General Conference.  It was so cool because we prepared a lesson on President Utchdorf’s talk about Dresden.  Then we asked him his favorite talk to start the lesson, and he went off on a whole explanation of that very talk covering everything we wanted to hit!  It was so awesome!  After that we went and helped A- move some furniture and get stuff more situated at the new house.  The Grange’s had us over for dinner which was great!  Then we went to Café Rio with A-!  We met his girlfriend!!  It was so cool!  He's just awesome, and I'm so stoked to work with him!  

Wednesday we an afternoon appointment with Sister March, and also had lunch there, then we went and taught S- after that.  Afterwards we went to The Chamberlains.  Brother Heath was with us for our time with S- and The Chamberlains. I've mentioned him right?  He's our ward mission leader, and he is seriously one of the coolest greatest people I've ever met.  He's so knowledgeable and wise and can pull out 20 scriptures on any topic at the drop of a hat and I look up to him a lot.  He's the best ward mission leader I've had!  

Thursday was crazy long...  We had specialized training part two!  Hooray for several hour long meetings!!  Haha, it was the more fun of the two meetings though.  I'm glad we went.  Plus Elder Brown has his iPad now.  Even if he won't open it.  We stopped by a tie store that was really close to the chapel after that and I got a super cool penguin tie!  The drive back down to White Plains was unreal though...  There was a terrible awful wreck on the other side of the highway.  Like, they closed down almost 5 miles of the 495—it was really bad.  It made traffic on our side pretty undesirable as well.  Like, 3 hours of undesirable.  Then we went to The Chamberlains for Sebastian's 15th birthday party!!  It was super fun! I love that kid!  We all played kickball for his birthday!  

Friday we pretty much helped A- rake the yard of her new house all day.  The old people never raked it so there were so many leaves!  She fed us lunch and dinner for it!  

Saturday we woke up at 3:45 am!!  Woot!  Then drove up to DC for volunteering for the Cherry Blossom Parade!  It was pretty fun! We got lots of good pictures.  Then we went to The Chamberlains.  Had a bit of a lesson, then Brother Heath had to go. The Chamberlains kept us for dinner though!  Sunday A- brought to friends to church, and half The Chamberlain Family came, so we had our hands full!  It was so fun!  We went and visited A- and friends after church.  Then we went to The Heaths for dinner, planned our lesson for B-.  We met them up at the Visitors Center and had a really good lesson!  It was tons of fun!  I love teaching at the Visitors Center because the spirit there is so strong!  We all went to why I believe after that.  Then we all came home!  Elder Bryant and Elder Sudweeks stayed over the night because we had zone activity today!  It was fun!  Tackle football!  Then we checked out the fort and had dinner with A- tonight!  It's a good life!  I love you
guys!!
