Monday- I got in my first car accident!!! It was pretty bomb and scary, I told my family about it in a video but for those of you who don't speak the celestial language....(BTW thanks President Uchtdorf for that one haha) but seriously, I was getting in the left turn lane and I signal for a while and I see this lady that looks like she is slowing down behind me so I start getting over but she was going way fast and she entered the lane early and she just plowed right into us as we got into the lane, and she went halfway over the median and my sideview mirror went flying off and it was just crazy, but that happened and thats about it on Monday, well actually we went to a cool military cemetery and looked around and stuff, it was way cool, there were also some mausoleums we went to.
Tuesday- We got a new car, a 2017 Chevy Malibu and Elder Hess loves it to death, we had two investigators cancel on us at night time
Wednesday- Zone interviews, Pres and Sis Schofield are the best! Love them to death! We visited a part member family and a less active family, trying to teach the part member family, the mom is a single mom and she has one son about 10 years old, trying to connect with him CODA to CODA haha, he is very quiet though..tough.
Thursday- Had an investigator cancel on us again and an investigator drop us
Friday- Visited the Zooks, it was good, invited to church, they didn't show up, bummer, but going back another time, they're cool. finally met with George we had been trying all week but he kept skipping, we met him at his work at a cancer research facility and it was so cool, we met in this giant room out side with a huge waterfall and big trees just hidden between these two buildings with the freeway about 60 feet above us, and invited him to be baptized!! He said sure! haha which is better than no, but we forgot to give him a specific day so we are going to meet with him soon!!
Saturday- Andre canceled on us when we were halfway to his house, so our whole day was thrown for a loop, we had no one to contact no one to do anything with, we tried to do some member visits but it didnt really work, I rode my first ferry to Whidbey Island to visit a former investigator, he wasn't there, then we drove on a bridge called Deception Pass right at sunset and wow...God loves his chilldren..the pretty nature pictures are from that drive, it was a tough week and we just felt prompted to take the long way home and that was there for us, giving us a little boost, it was awesome, definitely doing that again cuz it was so cool.
Sunday- Testimony meeting was bomb! We had a member named Barry go up and bear his testimony and his conversion story, it was so funny and so spiritual and so amazing, it was the most spirit I've felt since I left the MTC he had a long story but I'll share what stood out to me, he talked about wanting baptism now! He said he went to seminary with a friend in Utah and then learned and felt the spirit strong in the temple...yeah he went in the temple as a non member, not his fault but oh well haha, he said he needed baptism now! and then he talked about how he knew that it was true and then he told everyone, you know its true, there is something different in this church, so DO NOT leave. he said I've been going to church for 50 years now and I cant leave! Do you know why I can't leave? Because I know it is true, I cannot leave because I know that this is a true church and a true gospel. Holy cow that was so cool...I loved it, Barry is a cool guy haha
Anyway, I love you all so much!! It is so amazing here and you all are the best!!! Love you to the sun and back!! (That one is just to one up Sister Schoemig)
Love ya!
