Monday night I was told that I was getting transferred to train in the YSA Gaithersburg Ward! I was so excited to go back to Gaithersburg where I was first trained!
Tuesday was a fun night!!! We wanted to throw a surprise party for Sister Nolte since she was leaving the next day to go home. We went out to We The Pizza for dinner with Sister Nolte and her companion, Sister Farmsworth. They had to jet to go to a lesson and we ran our errands to decorate the apartment! Our shopping trip lasted a total 10 min in 2 stores! Then we sped home and ran around decorating.... We eneded up having plenty of time to decorate, but it was more fun running around putting up steamers than lazily doing so! When Sister Notle came through the door... Her reaction was priceless! We then did "shots" with sparkling Apple cider! It was a fun party! Haha.

Transfer Day (aka Wednesday)! That was an adventure. I met my trainee! Her name is Sister Lemperle and she is so awesome! She's from Riverton, UT and was going to USU. I ended up getting in a car crash on the way to get lunch :( Everyone was ok and no one got seriously hurt. That was a miracle in of itself! But... Because if that I got transferred out to be with Sister Cosper and Sister Ellsworth. And... Now Sister Carter is training Sister Lemperle! It a crazy couple of days, but I think we are all settled in now.
Friday was when we made the switch. It was a sad good bye to both my trainee and I, but it was what needed to happen. I'm excited to see Sister Lemperle and Sister Carter on P days to hear all their exciting adventures in the YSA Ward! Our first person we saw was Ann Black! That was a lot of fun! It has been a little while since I last saw her, but she remembered me! We did some chores and at dinner with her.
Saturday was a really fun day! We went out to eat with a member who was visiting from West VA. She texted us randomly asking if she could take us out to eat! We went to a really good Indian restaurant in DC and had a blast talking to her. She told us all these crazy stories about being in the Army reserves and her conversion story. It was so cool to hear how much she loves the missionaries! She takes the missionaries out all the time back where she lives in West VA. After lunch we went to see Jan! The lesson went super well! We found out that Jan was reading the next lesson in gospel principles about prophets! We ended up talking about prophets and how past prophets, like Moses, are the same normal people as our modern day prophets. It was a really neat discussion on prophets and how amazing it is that we have prophets today!
Sunday was a good day! We got to go the the Filiatreault for dinner! I love this family so much! They also invited another family!!! The parents are deaf and are recent converts from the Woodbridge Ward. They were so nice and fun to talk to. They have the cutest 3 little boys too! For our spiritual thought we played Simon Says and related it to following the prophets. It was so cool how the kids were able to get the connection too! Kids are awesome!
Well... That's my week! I hope you all are doing well. I love you lots!
Your sister Missionary!
