Week 70 - David's baptism

Hey guys!

Time is going by way too fast. I barely have time to send off my weekly email before I'm stuck in front of this computer again trying to think of what happened this week haha 

I ran out of time last week, but last Saturday I got to go to David's baptism. It was so special to get to see it even though I had moved areas. He gave me the biggest hug and had a huge smile on his face the whole time. Love that guy. (and yes dad, I took pictures haha) 

We spent a lot of the week walking and contacting which made it a little longer of a week, but we got to know the area a lot better and found a few new people. It's been really interesting to open up the area, because I've always been used to showing up to a new area and having people to teach and reactivate, but here we're starting from zero. But the best part is that there's nowhere to go but up! 

Had a little bit of drama this week. After our meeting with the ward mission leader on Thursday, we headed home walking and the sisters and elders got a ride from a few members to their house. We had just gotten home when we got a call from the elders that the sisters had gotten in an accident. They went in separate cars so the elders were fine, but the car the sisters were in had gotten hit head on. They were fine, just really shaken up, but by they time we got there, they had gotten checked out and everything was fine, except for the cars involved in the accident. The front of the member's car was smashed and the other car had flipped over, but from what we heard, the lady driving wasn't seriously hurt. It was just a miracle that everyone was ok. 

On a lighter note, on Saturday, our lunch appointment fell through so we decided to go to the mall close by to see what was there. I had no idea but there's a Smashburger here! It was the best burger I've had in 16 months. 

But those are the highlights of the week. Love you guys a ton! Life's going great, can't believe how fast time is passing. Have a great week everybody!!
