Good afternoon everyone!!
Wow this week has been insanely busy for us! We have done a ton of contacting this week and as a result, we found 5 new friends to teach!! That's really good because most of the time it's a struggle to find 2 or 3 new friends. Hopefully we can keep it up!
Philip is still praying about a date but he wants to get baptized in July!! We are getting really excited because he said he would find someone to take over his job at his other church so that he could be baptized into Jesus Christ's true church!
Service this week was really fun! We went and picked up meat and bread for one place and in return they gave us Venison! It was awesome!
We had a really neat experience the other day. We have been handing out pass along cards with our number on them and we got a text Wednesday night from a man named Aziz who wanted to know more!! He was moving to New York though so he asked if there were missionaries there that could contact him. We said yes and found his missionaries! Hopefully they were able to contact him!
Funny story, we were street contacting and ran into a kid named Jimmy. He was really nice but high so we gave him a pass along card with our number on it and told him to call us to hear a message. Well he actually followed us around asking us if we had boyfriends, if not would we like to go out, etc. It took about three times of telling him that as missionaries we don't date before he actually got the message. We've actually gotten asked out 2-3 times this week so that's kind of funny!
We taught Molly and Christian about the importance of reading and praying daily and Christian wants to be baptized eventually!! We are really excited!
Friday was really fun but also a little sad. The Duckworths hosted a farewell devotional. We got to hear from them and take pictures. It was really fun because I got to see a lot of my old companions and old friends from past districts. The Duckworths spent a lot of time mingling with us and that was really fun too! They also fed us Cafe Rio which I haven't had since the night I got to VA!!
We met a new friend, Brother Adade, he seems really solid and wants to take the Book of Mormon with him in his car so that he can read the word of God.
We also found Hawe, she is Muslim but a sweetheart! We taught her about the Book of Mormon and she was very eager to have us send her the link. We had another call right after her and literally 3 minutes after we had gotten off the phone with her she called us back and said she hadn't gotten the link yet. We figured we had better send it right there and then so we did!
Sunday night was exhausting because we had a ton of calls from people, numbers to gather and report and just a bunch of other things so we were pretty excited for Monday to come! Today we got to have our district activity. It was 82 degrees by 9am with 87% humidity so that tells you the kind of heat we were playing in but it was a good time!

If you want to know what kind of a jungle VA is, just look at the trees
