CITY: August 19, 2009

HEY EVERYONE!
This week was fun. We just got back from a day in the City. Went to the White House ( which is SO small) walked around the mall alot and checked out the Aerospace museum. It was way fun to get out of the ordinary. We are becoming Metro pro's now. IT was BLAZING HOT this week so we go visit members and Less actives a lot from like 10 am- 4pm because its way too hot to walk around. I never thought that i would use a handkerchief but um...You need it to wipe the pearls of sweat off the face. MAN.. whew...
DONNA ( our investigator) CAME TO CHURCH on Sunday! We were SO excited!!!!! She absolutely loved it! We are meeting again with her this week and hoping she can come again this next Sunday. We also got to teach the Law of Chastity in Gospel principles class. SO FUNNY, but good. We were really happy that the Bishop just happened to attend our class that day. We would have gotten some crazy questions. ( one can only imagine:)The lesson went really well though. Donna leaves in two weeks so we are working as fast as we can and as fast as the Lord will allow. She is GOLDEN! And so ready! Time is the only thing working against us. She even participated in all the classes and was nodding her head up and down in approval. ( that's what African Americans do in church... they Praise the LORD!). I love it... All their prayers start off with... " Father, GOD... Dear Father God .... we praise you this day... Father God"... Ill miss that a lot!
We are still working with Jack. Its been a little struggle since he really doesn't understand how to recognize if the church is true or not. But we still love him. I think that I'm really going to be taught how to work with Less actives in this area ( they are people who don't go to church always) and they are the hardest for me to work with because they know exactly what they should be doing and how to do it. But I'm learning patience and long-suffering ( best way to put it). Half the people here are less active or completely inactive.... SO frustrating. But sister Frost and I are having a good time, transfers are coming in a few weeks and we are worried because we want to stay down here together...But the mission President knows best. LOVE YOU all hope you have a great week!
