Week 50, Can you believe it?

We did more service with Paula this week! We were helping Sister Davis
unpack more boxes. Paula found some nail polish, and started painting
her nails while we were doing service!! I attached a sneaky picture
below of my companion and Paula(:

The speed limit changes are loco out here! There is something we like
to call photo cops out here in Maryland. There are cameras on random
streets that are strategically placed behind a tree or something, as
well as right after one of those stealthy speed limit changes. No
worries though. We are pretty good about obeying, honoring and
sustaining the law!

We had many cancellations this week, and the family from Honduras that
we were teaching dropped us today:/ but we know that means it's time
for a miracle!

We just started teaching a mom and her son (around our age) originally
from Cameroon! They are so cool and very open. They each have a copy
of the Book of Mormon and are going to start reading it this week! A
crazy story about them though. So we retracted into their house to see
if the mom was home, but her son Will answered. We taught him and gave
him a Book of Mormon. We had about an hour left of the night last
night and decided to tract in their same subdivision. Lo and behold,
we run into Will's mom, Solange, and she told us that Will was
expecting us to come by! And we hadn't even contacting him about
coming by. We were then able to teach Solange and Will together last
night. The Spirit works, but only if we are listening.

We taught the Gospel Principles lesson this past Sunday, and it was on
charity. One of my favorite scriptures are the last 6 or so verses of
Matthew chapter 5, and how it's easy to love someone that loves you,
but how about loving someone that does not love you? I fact someone
that is your enemy? That takes the pure love of Christ.

So as we were filling up our gas tank today, the gas starting dripping
all down our car! We all have blonde moments sometimes....So we got
worried and went inside the gas station to tell the employee about our
pretty silly situation. He just told us to squeegee it off of our car
and we should be good to go. Uhh. Haha as we were doing that, that
same employee's voice comes over the intercom and he tells us to come
back inside. He gifts us with a free car wash! I think he was a little
worried about our welfare too haha.
We are going to the DC Nationals baseball game this Saturday as a
mission! I am so lucky to be here for this transfer.

Stay true, and keep it real!
