Week 27 - Blitzes

This week...
This week was really good, we decided to go on a couple blitzes. They
were super fun. For those of you who don't know what a blitz is, it
is when you get together with a couple other missionaries and come
together and just tract out a whole complex or street or something.
Anyways we got all four of the Falls Church elders. And all four
Annandale elders. And we came together and just knocked out a couple
complexes. It was cool. They came to our area and then we went to
their area for a couple hours. It is super fun. You get to be around
other elders. And you get to talk about all the funny things that
happen. We picked up two new investigators from it. And we got a
couple promising potentials. It was really good.  It is really funny.
I feel like there is a funny story about to happen behind every door.
It's funny.
    This week we started to teach the family that has come to church a
couple times. It is awesome. In our gospel principles class she said
that she loved coming to church. It is great. They are so awesome. I
love them. They are great! And the new people we found are pretty
great. We are hoping to meet with them this week!
    I think I might be getting transferred this Thursday though. It makes
me kinda sad. I wish I could stay to watch these people get baptized.
They are so great!  But I know the people after me should do a good
job. I will miss the people here.  They are the best. And the area is
great. It is the little big city.  It has some decent tall buildings.
But it still is like a community. Everyone goes out and walks there
dogs. And says hi to their neighbors. It's not super fast pace either.
It is pretty relaxed. You have people sitting in the Panera. And
people out walking. It is great. It's just a fun place. We have some
apartments. Some houses. I will really miss it.
     Spring is here. It is beautiful here. The grass is green. And it
is warm. It hit 70 yesterday. It was the best! Something I learned
this week was to notice the stuff around you. There is so much beauty.
I love the spring because they have cardinals here. And they are super
pretty. But you have to be looking around you to notice them. But when
you do you will start to see them all over. I love the mission. It is
great out here. I hope you all had a good week. I sure did. Talk to
you next week.

Dan...we made chocolate with him.

That was probably the scariest elevator I have ever been in! The buttons weren't like real buttons. Nothing was digital. Like to say what elevator it was was like this knob thing. And it kinda bounced up and down. It was all around just a little sketchy
