Centreville I call Whoville because when you talk to someone, you never know if they are interested in talking with you. They are super sweet and nice or they just want to waste your time, talking for an hour about how you should change you religion, orrrrr, they are super interested in talking about religion just for them to tell you what about their religion is better than yours. Hahaha you really don't know. We've had at least four people straight up tell us that we should reconsider our religion. All we can do, at that point, is say "have a nice day" or "hasta la vista". Fun stuff, but not once did I rethink my religion. Let them Hate, but they don't know what they are missing out on.
Should I start out with the good news or the bad news? I’ll start with the bad since the good is AMAZING! :)
Two Thursdays ago, when I was still in the MTC, I was playing Volleyball. I loved playing volleyball with the friends I met there! I was in the back row, playing, and I was going forward and ran into someone and crashed and fell, good thing in was in sand! That day I felt like my hand just got bruised, and it felt fine... Then I set the ball the next day and my wrist shot a pain down my arm, sooooo that caused me to go in and get it checked out the next day, last Saturday. It wasn't ever too swollen. They x-rayed it and said they didn't see anything noticeably broken but there is a part in your thumb that is really hard to tell if it is broken, so that just said it was sprained and could be fractured, and gave me a brace to wear... The day we came to DC i had to go bus, to train, to tracts, and I had 2 huge 50lbs bags to carry... That didn't help at all... I got to Virginia and it wasn't great.. I’m gonna get it checked again this week. It is my left hand and I’m left handed!
The good news is that its amazing here!! there are so many different cultures and languages and ethnicity, its amazing! Columbia,Spain, Somalia, Iraq, Egypt, Mexico, El savador, China, Korea, Canada, Manchester, Japan, all around South America,Ukraine, India.. they are from EVERYWHERE!! We are teaching a family from Egypt right now, I LOVE THEM TO DEATH!! Sam, the son is the one who translates to his parents and they absolutely love us! We are teaching this sweet lady from El Savador named Elizabeth, she Is amazing! She's so service-oriented and loving towards others. We asked if she wanted to get baptized and she wants to, but just not now! We are also teaching this kid named Mathias, he is awesome and has loved hearing our message, he is willing to get baptized in October and almost made it to church today, but his mom is very skeptical about it.
I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and my Heavenly father is always looking over me and no one will ever convince me different, or make me rethink my religion.
Virginia is full of Dogs, they treat dogs better than each other. Half the time, no one knows their neighbors, speed bumps every where and street lamps no where. Lots and lots of different people and I LOVE IT!!!
