This week has been great, and though it was a little warmer, I have been absolutely loving the work here! I really enjoy speaking Spanish with people and learning more of the language while learning more about them!
We had an exchange with the Zone Leaders here, and so I got to visit a recent convert who got baptized when I first entered Rappahannock, and unfortunately she has gone pretty inactive, but we were able to start things back up with her, so that was good. I was with Elder Meyerhoffer for this exchange.
We also had a sweet lesson with someone who was super prepared! He was so spiritually in tune and the spirit was thick as molasses! We put him on date right there, and we were also able to make some good contacts downtown. There was a crazy homeless YSA that talked to us a couple times and tried to blow our minds with weird ideas. Elder Meyerhoffer knows just about everything though, so we weren't too impressed with him. It was a good exchange.
In other news, we made some good contacts and have some solid lessons set up this week. I'm telling you, the parque de trailers is the promised land! We found another family in there this week! This family is from Honduras, and unfortunately, they have already been caught by immigration, and so they have to jump through a few hoops to stay here, but they are excited for the gospel, and will probably come to church this week!
Speaking of church, the man who we met doing family history and came to church last week, came again this week. We discovered he lives in our area so we will start teaching him this week! We met another man this week tabling and he called us that night about church! He didn't come this week, but we will be meeting with him as well this week, and he will probably come to church next Sunday!
We had an interesting experience at English class this week. A woman came to class, and she was the only one, so she went out to invite her husband to come in as well, and then I guess they left, because she never came back in! We were really confused.
We were also able to help out with a service project on Saturday and clean some headstones in the Fredericksburg National Cemetery! I quite enjoyed it, and we also had two dinners on Saturday! The Martinez' bought us pupusas at the pupuseria we were tabling at. and then we also had dinner with Magda. We are teaching her sister and brother-in-law and Magda's family is actually about to move pretty close to them!
We even got to visit a member in the hospital yesterday, so it was a very varied and busy week, just how I like it!
Hope you all have a great week!
