Hey!
How is everyone? I hope you're doing good!
It was another good week this week! It started with exchanges with my boy Elder Dunn! He's awesome! I went to Arlington 2nd ward again, which is starting to be my favorite for exchanges! They didn't have any lessons, but we did some good finding! Funny story, we were just walking down the streets in Arlington, and I stated talking to this lady. I ask her if she's ever met missionaries like us before, and she's like ya, I'm a member! Turns out she's a less active member they haven't been able to contact for a while. That night at the apartment, Elder Dunn and I just talked and talked about cars and stuff! It was great! Elder Dunn is a boss!
Wednesday we had a lesson with Ken and we took Brother Wardle, 2nd counselor in the Branch Presidency, with us. He went to Anaheim California on his mission and taught a lot of deaf people, so he was awesome! I was in like in awe the whole lesson just watching him teach the Plan of Salvation! It was beautiful!!
Thursday was quite the day... It started with the shower breaking while Elder Pauley was showering. He went to shut it off, and the handle came off!! It started spraying water like CRAZY!! I hear a loud rush of water, and then him yelling!! So I come running in, and he's wrapped in his towel getting blasted with water!!! It was the funniest thing I've ever seen! I had to hurry and call the emergency maintenance, but it took like 20 minutes for him to get here! The water is filling up the tub and is all over the floor! So we have to start bailing water into the toilet so it doesn't flood the bathroom! Finally the guy got here and got into the panel where the pipes were to turn it off. He fixed the valve, and we cleaned up the bathroom and everything. Then we finished getting ready to leave for interviews with President that afternoon. As we walk out to the car, we see it leaning towards the passenger side. So we look and found out the tire was flat... We're running a little late from the earlier issue, so we hurry and change the tire and get going. We got to interviews find, and they were good, then we head to the shop to get the tire fixed. Well, Pep Boys was crazy busy, so we were stuck there for 3 hours! Finally we get the car back just in time to make it to dinner at a member's house. We had a good dinner with them, then when we go to leave their house, our car is dead!! So we have to call the Vehicle Coordinator, Elder Nielson for the 3rd time that day so he could come rescue us! We didn't get much done that day, lol...
Saturday, we met an awesome lady named Vanetta. Sh was a referral from some Spanish Elders. They had met here a while ago, and tried to teach her a little through her friend who interpreted for her. So we contacted her and set up an appointment for after church. Well, we went to her house after church, with an awesome member, and she wasn't home... We were so bummed!!! She seemed super promising! But well try and contact her again this week and try a lesson again! Pray for her!
Sunday was awesome, as always! (besides the lesson falling through) We get to church and are waiting for sacrament to start. Then, right as it starts, President and Sister Caplin walk in! President bore an awesome testimony about Jesus Christ and the blessing of sharing the Gospel! Then we had gospel principles. We had another visitor that I had to voice/interpret for. Luckily, Bro Wardle teaches nice and slowly!
