Hello hello, wonderful people!!
How are you all?? I hope you had an amazingly fantastic week!
We had a pretty bitter sweet week!!
Not too much progression with our investigators. Marco is doing better. He's just got lots on his plate. Neil was sick, so we couldn't meet with him this weekend... But he's still really enthusiastic about it!
I said goodbye to tons of members who I love so much!!! This ward has been the best to serve in the last 5 months! I've learned so much and have grown a lot as a missionary! Great Falls has a piece of my heart!
Cool story!!! We were at dinner with Gisella and Marianna the other day, and as we're were walking out a deaf couple walked was walking in. Gisella tried to say something to them, and they said they couldn't hear. So Gisella was like, "THIS GUY CAN TALK TO YOU!!" So I signed with them for like 5 minutes. They were super nice! It was good to know that I can still hold a decent conversation in ASL, seeing as pick up my companion today! He's gonna spend the day with Elder Poulsen and I, then we'll split at transfer meeting tomorrow.
Elder Pauley and I will live in Arlington and go to church in DC. The branch meets on 7th street, right next to Capitol Hill! Pretty neat!!
It's gonna be a great experience! I've got lots of learning to do, but my trust is in the Lord!!
I heard about the crazy fires going on!! I'll try to send all the rain we've been getting over there! I swear, it's been raining almost everyday for the past month! I don't think you could start a fire here if you wanted to!! But I hope everyone is safe and that it doesn't get too much bigger!!
Sidenote, I'm super stoked for general conference!!!! I heard from a member that they heard from their cousin, that Elder Holland, who was at their stake conference, said, "If you think last conference was crazy, just wait for this one!". I'm not sure how legit that is, but still! It's gonna be a good one, for sure!!
I hope you all have a great week!! Love and miss you guys a ton!! Keep being the best!
