C'mon, Let's Walk N' Talk

     Welcome back! It is good to have you around again! Now, I am
going to visit the Zoo today, so I am making this email brief and
simple!

     Elder Babb and I have been doing some excellent and fun work here
in the Alexandria 2nd ward! The past few months, we have gone over our
mileage allotment for our car, so we are taking advantage of our
relatively small area we have to work in by walking around and talking
to everyone! This is excellent because this is Elder Babb's first area
he can get away with walking or biking. Can you believe that? He has
been on car his entire mission so far (21months)! It is fun to walk
and it is awesome exercise.
     So, quick story. While we were walking and talking, we were going
through our huge potentials list and we came across someone named
Austin. It appeared to be that he lived just across the street from
where we were at. The only problem was the fact that he lived in this
huge high-rise and we didn't have his apartment number! Thankfully, he
had a cell phone number, so I picked up the phone and put my bold
voice on. He answered and I told him who we were and asked if we could
drop by in five minutes. To our much surprise, he said yes! He gave us
his apartment address and we went in. He told us that he had been
thinking about giving us a call soon because he really needed church
in his life. The only problem we ran into is the fact that he doesn't
have a car to get him to church. *facepalm* This happens EVERY TIME!!
We are now in the process of figuring out how o get him to church
now...

     Well, thanks for listening to me ramble on about stuff! I hope
everyone has an epic day! Happy Birthday to Caden on the 13th! Whoot!!
Love you all!

The Third Time is NOT the Charm

Hey, all you people! Hey, all you people! Hey, all you people, won't you listen to me! I just had this sandwich, it was no ordinary sandwich. It was a sandwich with jelly fish jelly!!

     Ok.. Ok... Maybe I didn't have one of those sandwiches.... But I am sure that if Krabby Patties were real and jelly fish made jelly, I would undoubtedly try one. On these serious side of things, we had a really busy filled week. :) haha! So let's start with the beginning of the week!

     First off, Happy Birthday Dad!!! I love you!!

     Tuesday. So our mission has been working on our driving, so the church gave us some excellent tools to keep us driving safe. They are called a TIWI. Haha! It will talk to you if you are speeding or are driving aggressively. I have been humbled over the past week knowing that I always have someone telling me that I am not the best driver in the world. With in the first 5-10 minutes of driving I was told to "check your speed" twice. Apparently, the flow of traffic in VA is a lot faster than the speed limit. Goodness gracious are drivers here super aggressive here! Haha you don't really notice a change in your driving habits until the TIWI kicks in. :)

     Thursday was a pretty busy day, we had back to back appointments all day long. You better believe we felt like awesome missionaries. The best part about it was that we were able to do a lot of them on foot! The weather has been warming up and the humidity has been climbing as well which causes much sweating! Huzzah for staying fit!

     Saturday is the cause for the title. Lemme splain... I finally was able to accomplish one of my goals for my mission. Baptize a Ghanaian with whom I spoke twi with about the gospel! CHECK!!! Turns out hat Ghanaians either don't like water or are super buoyant because if they don't go all the way under the first time, the phrase goes, "the third times the charm." So we tried again only to prove that the third time might work. It was either a toe or her hair, but plug for the font didn't work properly so I had little water to use.... Anyways, in total, 7. Not one time but one times seven times. Heh.... Thankfully she didn't back out after the fifth try.  

     Yup! Definitely an adventure this week! Tune in next week to read, Mission Work: Attack of the TIWI's. Don't forget about its sequel, The TIWI Strikes Back.

Love you all!!
