This week was crazy good! We got 14 lessons in! Booyah! We had lots of fun and crazy things that has happened this week! I'm truly blessed to have the companions I have! They are so funny and we always have a great time together!
So last Monday on P day we went to take pictures at the Welcome to Virginia sign and walked across the bridge to get some Georgetown Cupcakes! That was a ton of fun! We even took some action shots of eating our cupcakes. We then went to the church to finish emailing and hanged out. Elder Smuin and French came as well and we decided to have some fun competition! We first had a ninja rolling contest! Afterwards we decided to spin for a few min and then race each other to the the end of the gym. It was sooo funny the first time we did it because Elder Sumin took off his cochlear implant. We asked if he would still hear us when we yelled go. He said if he hears a scream...He'll know to go. So we stared spinning and spinning. I accidentally ran into Sister Cosper and let out a little shriek! Elder Smuin thought we yelled go and started running! We all were so confused, so started running too! Haha. We all died laughing!
Tuesday was an extremely good day! We got to visit with a semi-investigator (she's not interested, but extremely nice) and a less active that rents a room from her. It was so awesome to get to know them both. Crazy story though... The less active used to be deaf and blind when he was born, but he received surgery and now can see! So that's cool! Afterwards we went to see Angela at the nursing home! She was in a sassy and goofy mood! She got us all laughing! Then... When we went to go check out.... We saw that someone signed in 5 min ago to see Angela. The person put down P. Morman. We were all confused because we didn't pass anyone on the way out. And... I used the restroom while my companions were signing out, so we knew this mystery person weren't in there. So we got curious and went back to see who this mystery person was... When we went back to Angela's room.... No one was there visiting her!!! So we came up with a question to explain to Angela why we came back. Then we went on our way hoping that everything was ok. We went back to visit Angela yesterday (Sunday) and Sister Ellsworth came up with a sneaky way to ask who P. Morman was! Angela tld us that it was her cousin, Patricia, who passed away a long time ago!!! So that's nuts! We even got a picture to prove it! Well... we looked at the picture again today and realized that we took a picture of P. Morman's name was from Saturday and not Tuesday! So... P. Morman has visited Andgela more than just Tuseday! We will take a picture of Tuesday's visit sometime this week to make sure we aren't going crazy. Haha.
Tuseday night was extremely fun! We went to the Bellamy's and helped cook dinner. Then we played some Mexican Train... I won the last game. 😃 Then we ate some amazing Nachos with a twist! Sister Bellamy added little cubes of potatoes to the meat! It was soooo good! Then we followed Sister Bellamy to a lady's house for a cued speech lesson. Sister Cosper and Ellsworth got to interpret for Sister Bellamy! It was sooo cool to see cued speech in action. It's mostly used to help deaf people read lips easier and help them be able to talk. Cued speech has 8 handshapes and 8 positions to represent vowel and consonants sounds. It's pretty crazy! I learned how to say my name in cued speech!!!
Wednesday was another great day! We went with the Corwin family to Gallaudet's Back-to-School BBQ. That was so fun! I love being on Gallaudet's campus and being surrounded by deaf people! After the BBQ we went to see Gwen! I love her soooo much! She told us that she visited with one of the Elder's investigators that day and got to answer
her questions! I was so proud of her! She's so sweet!
Then on Thursday we went to see Jan! It went really well and we all had a lot of fun! We helped Jan do her laundry and walked the dog for a little bit... I was on poop duty! Haha. Good memories of walking my dogs back home in Oregon! We then got to teach Jan a lesson after running to the store real quick for Jan to pick up a few things. Our lesson went extremely well! We talked about the Book of Mormon and testified of its truthfulness! Jan said that she'll keep reading this week and pray about whether or not it is true! I'm excited to hear what happens!
Thursday night was a little crazy! At 10:00 that night we heard the fire alarm going off in the hallway! So we went out to see what was going on. We live on the 2nd floor, so we could see the front entry way. There was a lot of people standing around inside trying to figure out what was happening... So we figured we didn't need to evacuate. Haha. Finally the fireman came and nothing happened! We still don't know why the fire alarm went off!
Friday was another party! We went to the Wardles (cutest couple ever!) for a Back-to-School BBQ. It was so fun seeing all the members and one even brought a friend! So that's cool! The friend even said that she wants to see us again! Then we helped the Wardles clean up and laughed a lot together!
Then Satruday happened! We had a really fun day together in the car.... But ALL of our appointments fell through! We did get to Skype with Jules and a less active on the VP. So that was nice! We got some Cafe Rio later that day to cheer us up. 😃
