I hit my three month mark this week, time has been flying by. We have been doing a lot of teaching and finding. We have found about 5 very potential investigators and one new investigator. We did a bunch of "sports finding". We go in our church clothes to a basketball court and just ask if we can play. I wasn't too good at basketball when I left but I sure hope to be good when I come home.
Today we played some beach volleyball, for some reason everyone takes their shirts off while we play. It's super funny to hear Kenny say how there is not enough ladies around to see his guns. We were talking about one of the serves as a "cannon" and Kenny asked us to stop talking about his body like that. He is such a character. As we were playing we met a new guy who wanted to play. Every time we play sports in public we find someone to teach. We got his number and plan on meeting him soon.
This Sunday there was a guy who walked into church who was wearing a dirty white tee, and tan O'Neill shorts and worn down Jordan shoes. He was obviously investigating. It was fast and testimony meeting so he went up to speak. He was so touched by the spirit there and you could see his desire to repent and to access the healing power of Christ's atonement. I bore my testimony and talked about my experience with atonement and as I was speaking he looked to Elder Norton and asked what that word atonement means. We definitely told him after sacrament meeting. He stayed for all three hours. He had to take a smoke break in between each meeting though. We are seeing him this next week. We had a total of 9 investigators at church. We could have easily had 12 but some people were sick. The Lord has been trusting us quite a bit. We teach many lessons every week.
I'm glad it hasn't been too hot. It's been very hot, don't get me wrong, but I'm glad I haven't gotten heat stroke yet. The humidity here sucks. I can't wait till after August when it starts to cool down again, I miss wearing coats.
A huge thank you to Todd for taking Elder Norton and I to Ruth's Chris Steak House. He spent 100 dollars each!! The total was 300 dollars. The steak was the best I've ever had in my life!! We had a good view of the Reagan airport and the capital building, haha, it was super nice.
Miss you all, email me if you have time. Send pictures!
