Another great week as always here in DC! I'm still loving being a missionary and the truly amazing blessings and miracles I get to witness and be a part of.
This week while we were tracting we knocked on the door of an older man. He looked really hesitant when he answered the door, especially after we said we were missionaries. We were done explaining that we would love to share a message with him, he looked at us SO sassy and goes, "Do you not see the signs all over this neighborhood and my door that say no soliciting?" So I looked at him and I said, " Oh no sir, we're not soliciting! Salvation is free!" hahahaha it just came right out I couldn't even help it! He had no reply.... He just sat there for a second and said, "Have a nice night." and slammed his door. So funny, Sister Sosa said it was her proudest mommy moment. The storms here get pretty crazy... this week we all had to go back to our apartments for the night because the flash floods and lightning was out of control! There was lightning every 3 seconds and they were all a mile or less away, so it was pretty scary! The lightning hit the Odenton Sister's (Sister Gehlen and her trio) apartment and all of their power went out which meant- SLUMBER PARTY AT OUR PLACE. Mission sleepovers are the best! Our investigator is progressing every day; she even went to the Philadelphia temple open house on Saturday with her family! She was so excited to go and see where she can be sealed to her family for forever. Her husband and children are all members, so being sealed to them someday really means a lot to her. Something cool this week from our lesson with her is when we gave her a picture by Greg Olsen of Christ holding a woman. We asked her what she saw and she said, "A father holding his daughter...." and the spirit touched all of our hearts. I had never looked at the picture that way, but I instantly thought of me and my own father. I can't begin to imagine how great it will be to hug him again after 18 months; he is my best friend! If hugging my father after that short of a time can mean the world to me, imagine hugging my SAVIOR after my entire life here on Earth. The person who has walked with me every step and carried me on his shoulders. The person who died for me because he loves me so powerfully and unconditionally it can't be described. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are just WAITING for they day they finally get to give a simple Father's hug to their daughters and sons again, I'm sure of it. That hug will mean everything and more to me someday. I love you all! Thanks to those of you who remember that I'm still alive! I always love hearing from my friends and family!
