Week 6

 This week we had a Baptism! First month baby, doing work for sure. Gene is super awesome, he loves the G.o.l.d (gospel of latter days). He is an airbrush artist and did some work in the air force when he served in his 17 year service. He draws on leather jackets sometimes so me and my companion for leather jackets for cheap and he is going to draw an a-10 warthog on my jacket.





I got super sick and spent a lot of time on the toilet... a lot of time, so I'm glad that I'm better now. Today we got to play soccer and it was a ton of fun. Unfortunately we got our play time cut down to 90 minutes, I guess that's supposed to keep us focused on our Purpose? Idk....

This p day I told Elder Norton to take a wrong exit on the freeway and we accidentally went to Maryland and through downtown DC. Super disobedient but we couldn't help it, I'm not stressed about it but my comp felt pretty bad. I was just enjoying the view. I've never been to Maryland before so that was cool. We drove past the back side of the Lincoln memorial and Washington monument that was super cool! We saw the airforce memorial too. 

This Saturday we got to see an apostle of the Lord as well. We took Gene, our investigator to see Elder Rasband speak, he came to speak to the missionaries about easter, the spirit in the room was so strong and I know that he is an apostle of Christ, truly a special witness! His and his wife's talks were amazing!

Still getting used to being a missionary and the flow of missionary life. Sleep feels like a nap and I'm always tired lol! We did a lot of service and met a lot of new really cool people. I've noticed that the poorer people are, the more grateful of a person they are a lot of the time. There are a ton of people who don't speak English, or don't say they do.... I try to speak spanish when I can but there is no way I can speak French or amheric or middle eastern languages.

Miss all of you and hope you are doing well. I'm working hard but I'm enjoying my time, many miracles happen every day, you just have to look for It! I'm learning to enjoy the little things in life, there is a lot that happens! We are being fed well too, the members are all super Cool.

Love you all
Calvin
