Hey everyone! :)
This week has been pretty swell! Transfers are coming up this week and I'm almost 100% positive that I'm leaving. I'm actually pretty excited for change!
Chris Maeger got baptized this past weekend! It was really awesome! Chris's wife, Janell, has a beautiful voice and she sung this Amazing song at the baptism. It was called, "the promise" and it's about a person making a vow to another person in the pre existence and telling them that they would find them in their life time. It was awesome. They've already been discussing going on a couples mission together someday! Also....so in one year they are able to be sealed in the temple. SO, in this particular mission we can only go to the temple once every 6 months, BUT if we have a convert that is going through the temple then we are allowed to go again. And the super duper cool thing is that I will still be on my mission a year from now, so I will be able to go to the temple with them and see them be married for time and all eternity! SO COOL!! (And sister Richardson was able to come to
the baptism as well, so that was fun!!)
Also, so last Monday when we went to D.C. We heard about a really awesome flower in the Botanical Gardens that's called the "corpse flower". It only blooms twice a year, and when it does, it smells like rotting flesh! Sadly we missed the blooming by about a week and a half.
I sang in church this week. I'm not sure why I haven't done that here before! We were able to go invite several investigators and pull the, "it would mean so much to me if you come and oh also...I might be leaving....sooooo..." Ha ha it went really well! The man I asked to accompany me was George wood, he went to Julliard!!
This week when we went to the track in the morning for our exercise, there was someone that was playing soccer on the field, and MAN, I had a hard time not running up and asking if I could play with them, or just running up, stealing their ball and heading off;) ha ha jk, BUT I realized how much I missed playing soccer, so I borrowed a soccer ball from a ward member and I've been playing every morning since! It's been so great! :)
Fiiiiinally, there was a couple of talks I read the other day that are really good, and if you have the chance to read them they are called, "becoming perfect in Christ" in the jul 2014 ensign, by brother gong and "running your marathon" by elder wirthlin in I believe November 1989 ensign.
Love you all!!
