Hey everyone!
This week has been OK. We had a golden investigator that we taught the first lesson to and she committed to a baptismal date!! She texted us a week later and said that she couldn't meet with us anymore because she is having job & home issues and she is moving back to Virginia. :( We were so sad when we heard this. We are going to wait a month and then call to get her new address, then send the Elders there.
We also decided we are going to have drop Michael. We have come to the conclusion that he may not be all the way "there". We have taught him everything we could. When we took him to the visitor's center, they asked him questions that he should have known the answer to, and he spouted of some random answers that didn't even make sense! He's probably still going to come to church, but I don't know that we're going to teach him anymore.
So today we actually had zone activity. It was the "Zone Olympics"! We played soccer, basketball, capture the flag (with nylon bags of flower called flower bombs), tug of war, and some other really fun games. They put us in to teams of four colors. I was on the green team and we dominated the games! We won the games with 12 points. The others teams only had like 3 or 5 points each.
I'm really glad that you guys are having fun with all your activities for the month. Lagoon (an amusement park), Yellowstone, the exchange students and Stadium of Fire! It sounds like you guys will have a blast at Yellowstone and I can't wait for the pictures! I would have loved going to the stadium of fire because both of those singers are pretty good looking (It was Carly Rae Jeppson and Kelly Clarkson) ;P Just kidding I can't say that as a missionary :).
As for my comp, it is true that Elder Gilbert was transferred. He is now in Anicostia North area and my new companion is Elder Anderson. He's pretty cool and a very funny guy.
Mom, I'm doing just fine :) I mean yeah I have times when I feel homesick and what not, but I get over it pretty easily now. So I am good :)
Please tell Christian that I hope he's OK and that I hope he feels better soon. I felt bad when I heard about his accident on his long board and I couldn't be there for him. But he has like 6 of his nine lives left so I'm not too worried ;P
I have to go now but I'll send some pictures a little later OK?! I love you all and I hope that you enjoy your trips! I'm super jealous!
Love,
Elder Gold
