Week Two in Washington

Well, I hate to say that not too much went on this week. One thing that stood out to me and has stuck with me is the lunch we had last Friday. Brother F. takes missionaries out to Old Country Buffet all the time, and the reason he does that is to answer our questions. This man is an absolute genius when it comes to the gospel. He increased my thirst for knowledge 200%. He took us to his home afterwards and he has a beautiful place right on the shore of the lake. He has a library that he loves to show off, it has over 1,250 books on our gospel and other religions. He is a wicked smart guy, and he's super funny too. He is a marriage counselor and he told us he is giving us all a pre marriage counselling session, telling us what to look for in relationships. 

Speaking of marriage (don't freak out yet), in the third hour of church we had a whole lesson from Bishop about marriage, and I thought it was super funny to think of our companionship as a marriage, and applying most of the principles we learned, we can probably be more effective missionaries. I'm still loving my trainers, they're both super funny and I'm learning a lot. Well that's it for me this week I love you all!

I got this picture with this sweet message the other night: "Hello Cristy!! Your son just knocked on my door to see if I needed anything! I am actually a former member, and know how much missionary moms love pictures of their missionaries! I was able to get one for you and wanted to let you know he is well! I let him know he's always welcome to come by for a warm meal! Anyways, just wanted to let you know he is well!!"

Frist P-Day. They went fishing
