Maryland Be Wildin

Week of May 11 - 17

Hey hey!!!

This week we got to go on splits with the other sisters in our area! It was all pretty normal, until our lesson with this guy the other sisters were teaching named Robby. . . . was really off and asked for their address multiple times, so we dipped real fast. BUT THEN, we went on a walk and I was looking at the bushes on both sides of us and noticed TONSSS of bees so we RAN for our lives. Also, apparently 1 trillion cicadas are mobbing Maryland this month after 17 years of being underground, so we'll see how that goes. Maryland be WILDIN!

This week, our friend Will came to church. He has a really hard time waking up in the morning, so coming to 9 am church was a big deal! Afterwards we introduced him to some of the bois in the ward and they really hit it off. They did the bro hug handshake thing and exchanged numbers to talk more so we are super excited for Will to get to know the members more and makes some friends!!

On Wednesday we got an urgent email to go immediately to fill up our cars because apparently the major gas line on the East Coast was hacked. We had to go to a couple different gas stations to find one that still had gas but by the end of the day, some places had lines that were a couple blocks long. Things seem to be more so back to normal, but apparently people were treating it like "bring your own cup" day at 7/11 and bringing any sort of container they could find to fill it up with gas. Marylanders really are something else.

We also had a really awesome lesson with a new friend named Melinda. She brought up how there has been some unfair treatment in her workplace and how she was betrayed by someone she really trusted. I instantly thought back to Jesus Christ and how he also experienced betrayal. Someone who was close to him betrayed him as well. I don't know exactly what she's going through but Christ does. It helped me put into perspective my own problems and how Christ descended below all unfairness so that our pains and sorrows can be swallowed up in Christ.

Have a greattttt week!
