This week has been going well! I feel a lot better now. I am back to 100%. And that is super nice. I am starting to feel a lot more like I am a part of the ward. Still not the same as it was in Falls Church. But getting more and more familiar every week. So that is good. We have a bunch more work out here then we did in Falls Church. So that is super nice. We don't have a car though. So we spend a lot of time walking. And that kinda stinks. And there aren't really people just out that we can talk to. There are some people jogging or walking but they are too busy to really talk most of the time. They are doing their thing and are relaxing their mind. And they don't really want to talk. So that part kinda stinks. But other then that it is going well.
We are teaching this guy Ray. And he is doing really well. We meet with him 2 times a week. He has a son that was baptized a couple months ago and now he is investigating. He came to church again this week and he is coming to a family history night this Thursday. And he is excited about that!
Then we are teaching this guy Mike. He is super solid. He just wanted to turn his life around. So he just flagged down missionaries like a week before I came. So that was cool. He hasn't made it to church yet. But he is super interested. He has heard some anti stuff, but he realizes that there are answers to all his questions. And he is willing to listen. So it is great!
We meet this lady, Sana from Bethlehem a couple weeks ago and we do service for her sometimes. She is pretty cool. I think we will invite her to come to church next time we are over there. It is cool to hear what people from other places in the world think of the United States. And the difference between their countries and here. And I also love the food they bring. It is usually super yummy. (Usually. Not always)
We are teaching a couple other people. But those are our top two promising. And a cool lady we met. Thought it might be cool for you to hear a little bit about what we got going on.
Today we are headed into DC. We are going to all the embassies. It could be pretty dope. Or it could be a bust. It might just be offices. I am not sure. But it will be cool either way. It is fun to be in DC.
Transfers are coming up soon. It's crazy! I can't believe this is our last full week of the transfer. Things are starting to go by really fast! It is crazy!
This week it has rained a lot. Everyone tells me that it doesn't usually rain this much. But it has been raining a ton. We got pretty soaked last night too! But it is supposed to get hot this week. It is going to be like 95 on Friday. So I am not super excited about that. That will be kinda a pain! But we will take it how it comes.
Oh guess what, I got a tick. Actually two but only one of them got into my skin. I woke up on Thursday went to the bathroom and right there on the top of my thigh there was one. So we pulled it out and I got all of it on the first try. And so we put him in a bag and froze him. ( that's what you are supposed to do, for a month so you see if you got anything that they can identify it by the bug). So that was a little scary. I don't know where I got it from, and then last night we were outside a grocery store waiting to get picked up, and there was one crawling up my leg. I got him off before he could bite. But I am checking for ticks like every night now. It's kinda crazy. But just being out walking around on trails and stuff surrounded with bushes I think they like to hop on my clothes or something. Did not think there could be a problem with ticks out here. But there is.
I am sorry Mark isn't doing very well. I will keep him in my prayers. I will respond to you email a little later. I typed this this morning for you so you had something to read! I sure love you!
Love, Elder Bigelow
