Maryland drivers are worse than Utah drivers

Hello hello!!

This week...

- We found THE perfect sunset spot on the roof of our parking garage that overlooks the whole city. Only took me 3 months to find it :)

- I found out that my trainer's parents MET and were ENGAGED in 11 DAYS.

-We escaped a burning building (this may or may not be a tiny bit exaggerated)

We just got some transfer news!!! My trainer is leaving to an English area and Hermana Romney and I are staying here in DC 1st woooo!!! We are getting another hermana in the mission and I'm so stoked!

Here's a cool "what else could go wrong story." We were teaching a lesson about Joseph Smith and the First Vision to a guy named Daniel and our building fire alarm goes off. We told him we'd call him back in a sec so we left the building and found some covered stairs because it was starting to rain. We called him back and the storm started to get bad but we kept teaching. At one point some drunk guy was stumbling past us on the stairs, then some kids start arguing and yelling at each other right next to us. Even with all that happening, there was such a strong spirit in the lesson. Satan works hard but we work harder :) Daniel is the coolest!!

This week, one of our LIFE game challenges was to do a cartwheel, somersault, handstand. We did it beautifully and gracefully as expected (Olympics 2021??) but the Elders were a little less graceful to say the least. One Elder started out with so much confidence but it plummeted the second he ripped his pants right down the middle during his cartwheel. Rookie mistake :/

Another transfer down in the books! The past 6 weeks I've learned a lot about patience and recognizing our weaknesses. We are given specific weaknesses that stretch us and constantly push us out of our comfort zone, but also pushing us to become the person we are supposed to be. For an independent person that thinks she already knows everything, I was super humbled and realized that there's so much I don’t know. Missions, especially in the beginning, are kinda like riding a bike up hill, with no tires, and the bike is on fire too. But for real, I wouldn't trade my time here as a missionary for anything. So here's to a lot more challenges, trials, miracles, and memories!!

Adios, Hermana Dangl
