Hey
Mom!!!!! So this week was......really long. Basically we were spending like the whole time trying
to find people to teach because were opening up a new area and have like no one right? Well ya we didn't find anyone this week and it was a really hard week. We got a lot of negative responses and I felt bad for Elder Westover because its his first week and there has been a lot of negativity. We have been trying everything but just have not had anyone accept our invites.
But the ward is awesome. They loaded us up with all the things for our apartment. On Wednesday I had my medicine but Elder Westover had this new missionary meeting so one of the AP's came with me and it was a pretty fun experience. He has a lot of health issues so we were talking about that a lot. But before I got my medicine we were helping move a ton of stuff from a Senior Couples Town House to a storage unit. The office Elders let me drive the big rig that they drive its a MAV (Mormon Assault Vehicle. The 15 seater huge Ford Vans) THat was a fun day. Other than that, yesterday our Ward Mission leader took us to DC so I uploaded a ton of the pictures. We went to Union Station, The Vietnam Memorial, The Lincoln Memorial, The Library of Congress, The National Archives (which didn't let us take any pictures), The National Gallery of Art, and then we ended it all in Georgetown at the National Cathedral. It was such a long day. But we were so lucky to be able to see all of that in one day. Surprisingly there were not that many people in DC. So it wasn't that bad. It was nice to have members drive us all around. My favorite stops were the National Cathedral, Library of Congress, National Archives and the Vietnam Memorial.
Our ward mission leader is great. He does a lot for the Missionaries and practically spoils us. We are going to be trying so hard to find people this week! Oh ya a cool little Miracle. We were stopping by a Burger King so I could use the restroom while we were out and there were members in there from the ward that my nurse who was baptized is in. She is able to go through the Temple this month so I gave them our card and asked him to follow up with her and let me know how she is doing and if she had gone through the temple or not yet. I really hope she is doing good! Well there is a lot that we have to do and we are going to go and find it all this week!!!
Love you!!
Elder Powell
