April 15th

Well, I am finally writing a bulk. Sorry it has been so long. Last Wednesday was a lot of fun. We went to the college campus JMU and played Beach Volleyball with the Elder in our district. I totally won of course :) And Will Davis (one of our YSA's who's leaving on a mission soon) came and played with us for awhile as well. He's a great kid and is going to make a fantastic missionary. He's getting really excited to go. Funny story though... So after we get done playing volleyball, we all decided to go get something to eat on campus. We were still in our PDay clothes and I didn't have any pockets to put my keys in. But Elder Mcentire did so I asked him to hold my keys for me until we got done eathing so I wouldn't lose them. Well, the Elders got done before us and left. About 5 minutes after they left, it hit me. ELDER MCENTIRE STILL HAS MY KEYS!!! Our phone was locked in our car and we knew no ones number by heart. The Elders live all the way in Waynesboro so we wanted to get a hold of them as soon as possible so they didn't make it all the way back. My first and only thought was to call my Mom to get the mission offices number so they can get me the Elders number. Well my Mom didn't answer! CRAP! So we had to hike awhile to Will's home, he was the closest member to where we were. So we finally got a hold of the Spanish Elders who gave us the Zone Leaders number who then gave us our District leaders number. Well by the time we got a hold of them they were already back in waynesboro and had just discovered they had our keys! Well to make a long story short, they had to bring our keys back and we had to walk to our appointments in our P Day clothes because our missionary clothes were in the car. Fun times! Well we had Allie's baptism on the 11th and her confirmation! It was the best baptism I have been to yet. It was so fantastic! She asked me to speak and I spoke on Eternal Life and tied it in to Enduring to the End and Christ of course. It was the most spiritual baptism. Her boyfriends family came from Fredricksburg to support her which was great. And of course a few of the YSA's made it. They are soooo good to support people we are teaching. Only 3 members from the ward showed up though. That was disappointing... For Easter we went to the Reed's home and taught her non member cousin. We shared a really spiritual thought about Christ and the Atonement and Resurrection of course :) They fed us dinner as well. Yesterday was an interesting day. I got Sister Zwang out of her comfort zone big time. :) She'll thank me later. She really struggles talking to people and tracting. So whenever we go and I see her struggling I just automatically jump in and talk. But she needs to learn. So 2 YSA's Emily and Josh came tracting with us and Emily went with Sister Zwang and Josh and I stayed back and listened to them do it all. I wanted her to learn how to have confidence in herself and not rely on me so much. She got pretty frustrated but the last door they knocked on they got a return appointment and she was on cloud 9. She was so proud of herself as was I. It was great. We're hoping to set 2 for baptism soon. The work is a little slow right now but we're staying strong and doing all we can do. Thanks for all your love and support.I love you allThe Church Is True!!
