LIL OL ME hangin' in DC: The Chicken Sandwich

The gift of a chicken sandwich can change your life. ;)

To give you an idea of how our week went, we got called stylish Amish girls and Sister Atkinson said Merry Christmas to a homeless man. First off, wrong religion. Second off, wrong holiday, but it's the thought that counts, right? Speaking of thoughtful things, there was a guy on an electric bike that pulled over and gave us a free chicken sandwich and french fries a couple of days ago. "...the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen" :'''') We are also teaching him now so if he gets baptized I give the credit to that chicken sandwich. Go Abraham and his free food, woot woot!!

OKAY big news!!! DANNIELLE WENT TO THE TEMPLE THIS WEEK!!! What a cutie. She absolutely loved it. We were asking her all about it and she was like, "I give it a 10," so there ya have it. 10/10 would go again. She felt the spirit so strong and we are just so happy for her. The temple is such a special place and I wish the DC temple wasn't closed because I miss it!! Our mission president always says that our areas are our temples and every lesson we teach is an ordinance performed. I'm so grateful to be doing missionary work on this side of the veil right now.

Dannielle at the temple :))))

This week we also started teaching this awesome Muslim family! We had a lesson with the mom and her three kids and the kids were asking most of the questions! That lesson really reminded me that we as missionaries aren't the teachers but that the spirit is. When we showed them the video of Jesus Christ being baptized all of the kids were paying such close attention, and after the video the little girl said, "I want to do that too." When we learn about Christ, talk about Christ, sing about Christ, or read about Christ with the people we teach there is an undeniable spirit. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is Jesus Christ's church and I know that because I feel it in my heart. Christ is the center of our message and the center of the gospel and I'm so grateful for that!!

Love you all!! Have a good week!!

Love,
