LIL OL ME hangin' in DC: Sister Mod the maid

My fun fact about Virginia for the week is that you can leave a piece of bread out on the counter for a whole week and instead of drying out, it actually becomes more moist. Hahaha...also I know. I hate the word moist too, but it's the only fitting adjective. And, yes, I did try out my bread theory. Gross but true everyone, gross but true.

We have had a GREAT week here in Ham/Cat! The rain has been non-stop since Monday, so it's extra humid right now which has been sooo fun! Sister Ewell and I love looking like lions every day, it's awesome! (Joke) One fun thing that happened this week was that we got to visit this sweet sweet older lady who is just the nicest, cutest grandma ever. We occasionally go over and help her clean her house because she lives in a huge mansion. Rough life, right?! But, ya, so here's the deal. Her house was built in 1813 and I don't think it's been cleaned since then. Haha, but for real. It's the sickest house ever, but it's covered in layers of spider webs :’) This week I vacuumed up 12 crickets. I just feel like I deserve some recognition for that, so feel free to thank me for my sacrifice.

Lion hairdos compliments of the rain. ;)

The missionary work is awesome right now…a 12 out of 10!!! This week our Jewish church tour miracle investigator told us that she wants to be baptized September 15th; an investigator that's been taught all the lessons and was not progressing decided that he wants to be baptized too; and, we found the CUTEST Muslim family that wants to learn more about the gospel!! Miracles are happening people, the church is true.

My spiritual gem for the week is a quote by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin that says, "His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will.” I'm learning every day that sometimes, no matter how hard we try, our best will simply not be good enough…but, when we seek Christ's help, we can become more than enough. Just keep trying your hardest at whatever you're doing and the Savior will make up the difference. He always does. I've seen that at so many different times in the short time that I've been out on my mission. I know that as we ask for the Savior's help we can become better than we could ever imagine! I hope everyone has an awesome week. Also, happy late 24th of July…go Pioneers, amiright?! (Not Lehi Pioneers, like actual Pioneers #LPOD.) Lol kidding, (I love everyone sorry.)
