wahoo americaaaa

Paige and her cute comp were invited to ride on a wagon
in the town parade.

First of all, HAPPY 4TH EVERYONE!! I felt very patriotic being here, and yes, this was my most patriotic 4th yet (for those who were wondering). Go America, am I right? Lol. Second, so remember how I said I wasn't melting yet? Ya so I lied. Haha! I literally am convinced that I live in a wet toaster. Haha! It is SO hot, but I'm lovin' it:) I already have sweet tan lines on my feet. 

This week was great as always:)) We did a ton of street contacting and visiting people which was fun! Just to give you all a taste of the wonderful people I serve here in Virginia, I'll tell you a couple of experiences I had this week! 

Virginia is just so GREEN!

1. Sister Ewell and I were just driving down this random back road in the middle of nowhere (so basically my whole area, lol) and we saw a man sitting with a table in front of him. We were like hmmm. I wonder what he's up to... turns out he was having a lemonade stand. A LEMONADE STAND. Hahah! Guys, a 65-year-old man was just having a lemonade stand in the middle of the day. Whatta guy. Whatta legend. Livin' life to the fullest. 

2. We were having a lesson with one of our investigators and just as we were about to leave he's like, "WAIT! I almost forgot. I got you both something." Little did we know that we were about to receive a life-changing gift. He then proceeded to pull out 2 mini disco lights from a box. We died. Hahahah. So if anyone wants to party you know where to go. ;)

3. We were Facebook finding (friending people on Facebook and starting conversations) and I messaged this man. I'll reenact the conversation real fast, lol.

Me: "Hey! How are you?" 

Him: "Jewish."

Hahahah. Good talk. 

4.  Someone made us pancakes with lettuce in them. That's all I have to say about that topic. 

On a more spiritual note, we also found a sweet investigator!! His name is Marcus and he is one of our miracles for the week. We had our day all planned out to teach investigators all Friday, but one by one everyone canceled. That led us right to Marcus at the perfect time. God is in the details of our lives and I know that he has a plan for all of us! Our Heavenly Father led us to Marcus, but only after all of our plans fell through. We are all going to go through hard times and disappointments but I know that it's all part of the plan and there's happiness ahead if we just keep pushing through. We are in the most capable hands in the universe so there's nothing to worry about. I love you all soooo much and I hope everyone had a great week :)))
