This week was an awesome week. First we went to D.C., which was awesome. And we saw most of the monuments, which was way cool. I have a lot of pictures that I will send. We also had a way great week missionary work wise!!
First, we put our two Ethiopian investigators on date for baptism the 26th of October, which is so exciting. We have been working with them for almost two months now, so it is exciting to see them take this step!! She is teaching me a little bit of Amharic, which is their native language. It is such a confusing language, but it's fun haha!
We also met a "golden" investigator this week. We tracted into her. She used to live in Maryland, and she went to "the Mormon church" up there for two years, but then she moved down here and didn't ever see any Mormons. She didn't know where a church was, so she stopped going. Anyways, a couple days prior to us knocking on her door, she had actually been talking to her mom about there not being any Mormons and how she wanted to get back to church. Long story short, she realizes that us showing up is not a coincidence at all, and she wants us to come back and meet with her!! It was so awesome!
We also got one of our less active members, who has not gone to church in over twenty years, to think about coming back. This is a huge step, considering that when we first met him he said there wasn't any reason for him to go back to church. So that was awesome.
Lastly, I had the opportunity to ordain Randy (the kid we baptized about a month and a half ago) to the office of a Priest in the Aaronic Priesthood yesterday. It was so awesome!! He was so happy. He is nervous to pass the Sacrament this week.
Anyways, this week is transfers and I am about 99 percent sure that I am leaving my companion. We got the news that he is training, so that means one of us has to go, and my guess is it will be me. I am sad to leave this area, but excited to see other parts of the mission! I love you guys lots, and thanks for all the support!!
Love,
