Yup, thats how its done in Culpeper!



Hey Mom!
 
This week went really fast. We had a ton of dropped appointments. We spent a lot of the week trying to find new investigators. That hasent really gone well lol. We are struggling trying with that. We were supposed to have an appoinment with Melissa and no can find her. We finally met her parents and they told us that she took off to Maryland and may not ever come back to Virginia. But the Palmers and us are constantly calling and texting to see what the situation is. 

The biggest thing that happened was on saturday we went to the Visitors center. That was way awesome. Friday Matt and Jessica actually called to tell us they had to cancel but thankfully they called later that night and said they were able to make it. So we ended up going. They had so much fun. Elder Ravia and I forgot our cameras so the only pictures we have is of them outside the temple. They took it on their phone. They look happy its way awesome. They were telling everyone about it at church. We watched this video on familes and they were crying and Jessica was like "are all these videos going to make me cry?" hahaha. They were shocked when they saw that the Book Of Mormon was in so many languages. They were going around the table and were like "look its in this language and this one and this one" It was pretty funny. Then after the tour of the Visitors Center we walked around the temple. They were taking a ton of pictures. They were excited because when we were there the son set so they were able to get some good pictures of the temple with all the lights on. That was extremley fun. The best part was we drove up there in Matts off road car. The wheels have skulls and bones on it. It was really funny when we rolled up to the Visitors Center and people were like staring because it was this huge loud car coming in and then 2 missionaries hop out hahaha. Yup thats how its done in Culpeper! 

Sunday was also a really good day. The talks were on Agency and one of the speakers was talking about this situation with him and his wife and he sias he had 2 choices to either blow up or try to see it from her side. He chose to see it from her eyes and the whole situation was diffused. It was just a bad case of poor communication that could of been a lot worse. But everyone learned a lot from his talk. Then Elder Ravia and I taught gospel principles. That was fun. The best part was the LA sister Craighead who we have been working with since we first got here came to church! Her husband did not how ever. (hes not a member) All her friends were there and were welcoming her so it was a good day. Were having dinner with her and her husband tonight so its going to be a good follow up with her on church. Well thats it for this week. Mrs Kelsey is doing good and still spoils us with treats and everyone esle is doing good. Just another week in Culpeper!
 
Love ya!
