We out here in G-burg

Farewell Annapolis, Hellooooo Gaithersburg!!!

Leaving Annapolis felt just like leaving home, but I am already loving it here in my new area!! We live downtown RIGHT by the train tracks, but our apartment is bougie so we're chilling. I almost cried when I saw we that didn't have a couch, but I'm recovering slowly and getting used to the peasant life.

We got right to work and have some super awesome friends that we are teaching!! We are talking to this super sweet guy named Yoon, from Korea, who is taking English classes from us. My Korean is a little rusty so I'm grateful that we just have to help him with conversations and speaking. Our recently baptized members, Allison and Kevin, are AMAZING and have such amazing testimonies. It's been fun to help them assimilate and get to know all the other members.

Seeing more than 30 people in the congregation on Sunday was a huge shock compared to the Spa Creek Branch, but the members were really amazing and welcoming. No tamales were handed to us on the way out by Hermana Otilia, but I guess I'll manage😤. When one of the members found out I was from CA and he was like "It's a long shot since there are a ton of people in California, but do you know the so and so family? They were in this ward years ago." I was expecting to be like "Hahaha California is a BIG state so probably not." But then he said the name and I was like "Oh actually yes I do know them!!" Super small world.

My comps, Sister Simpson and Sister Farmer, are amazing but I'm mad because Sister Simpson ruined my 11 person streak of companions from Utah :((( Other than having lots of potatoes, Idaho is pretty much Utah so I might just count her as a Utahn. Also, they like sunsets and the outside just as much as I do, so it's going to be good.

Until next time,

Hermana Dangl
