Week Three - Falls Church, Virginia

Haha. I love that you got a puppy. I am a little sad that I am missing the crazy. But it's ok. I tell everyone that my family got a puppy right after I left and they don't think that it is that crazy. I am glad you are feeling the blessings. It helps me keep going. 

Not going to lie, the field is way different then I expected. You are accountable to yourself. There are a lot of lazy missionaries out here. It makes me mad. It is killing me.  

But I have been working on getting our act together. We got a list of a bunch of less active families. And some part member families that we will start to explore.  We get fed some of the time. Not all the time, but it's cool. A sister took us and the other missionaries in our ward to Cheesecake Factory. And it was awesome. A bunch of the members love the missionaries. I don't know if you got a face book picture of me at a house. If you did that was from the Jardine's. And they are super nice. We have been getting to know some families and asking for referrals. That's the best way to find people. But we have also already gone tracting.  That's an adventure. You never know who is behind the door. Or what they are wearing. We had a guy answer the door without any pants on . But it was funny. I just have to make sure we get a plan and get out to work. 

I am in the Falls Church Ward. Kinda by Mclean. But it is sweet! It is super pretty here. I love it!...

I am starting to be myself again. I got really intimated when I got out here and was really quiet. But I am getting better now which is nice. I got really scared it would change my personality. But it is coming back. 

I am doing well out here though. Getting along and working hard. It is super pretty here and hasn't been too hot yet. So that is nice that you keep an eye on everyone for me. I love you. And miss you. 

Love, Elder Bigelow
