How Many Founding Fathers are in Your Ward?

Paige and her new companion, Sister Atkinson

 We made it to Mt. Vernon and we have only gotten lost about 8000 times so far, so I'd say it was a successful week for us! I have survived another week in the mission but Sister Atkinson, my cute new comp, however has not. We are pretty sure she has the plague (RIP) so she was sick in bed for her first 4 days in Virginia, bless her sweet soul. :'( Sister Atkinson is already my BFF, plus she's from Idaho (shout out to Gma and Gpa woot woot) so we automatically had mashed potatoes in common. I love her (and potatoes) so much! 

 Not only is Sister Atkinson sick but SO IS MT VERNON. (different kind of sick tho, like the good sick get it? hahah) We are lovin' life here so far. :) Our District Leader told us that George Washington's childhood home and gravesite is in our ward boundaries, so for all of you who think you have the best ward, I'm here to ask you one question. How many Founding Fathers are in your ward? Take a hot second and ponder on that one. Pray about it and let me know. ;) The elders who we share a ward with left us SO many amazing people to teach so we have been busy out here. Once we get oriented I'll update y'all on all of our amazing friends. 

 I am so grateful to be a representative of Jesus Christ at this special time of the year!! I know I talk about this all the time but there really is no better time to be inviting people to learn about Christ and helping them to follow Him. This week in church we talked a lot about the name Savior and I thought of this scripture that makes me happy. It's John 3:17, "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." I'm grateful for a loving Savior who lives to turn us toward our Father in Heaven. We are just so blessed! 

Have a good week!! 

 Love, Sister Mod
