Love is the best word to describe
everything I'm about to tell you! I love my companion, I love my area, I love
my ward, I love my apartment/location, I love my investigators, I love being a
missionary! I love everything!!!
So first, we're teaching this girl
named Jocelyn. She's 20 and from Idaho! (Boise ish area) She's here interning
for the house rep for Idaho (or something like that). She's really sweet! And
she knows it's all true :) She's either getting baptized this Sunday, or the
19th. Probably the 19th :) But we're so excited for her :) And her boyfriend is
on a mission right now, so he's pretty excited about all this, too. We're not
quite sure about her date yet just because of her parents... They aren't too supportive
of her baptism. She's going to do it anyway, we're just not sure exactly when
yet. I'll keep you updated on that for sure :)
Then there is Jordan. Oh, Jordan.
He's so funny. We met and started teaching him on Monday. He was a referral
from the VC. Although he's only 20, he's had some trials in his life, and was
starting to become angry with God. He felt punished for something, and was
bitter about it. But as we met and talked to him, his whole attitude started to
change. He was literally hungry for truth- You could see it in his eyes. It was
so cool! Well, long story short, he's getting baptized on the 26th of May :)
WE'RE SO EXCITED! Especially because I had the strong impression that he would
be baptized this transfer before I even met him :) Just kind of neat.
But... Those are our only
investigators right now, so we have to do a lot of finding. And we can't just
tract (because it's really inefficient), so we have to just talk to
YSA's on the street. I'm really not good at this at all. At all. Pretty much
the worst. But, maybe that's why Heavenly Father put me here... To teach me how
to find people. And I'm ready for the task!
Sister Smith is awesome. She's a
great teacher and a great friend. And yes, she's related to Joseph Smith.
Through his brother Hyrum. Cool, huh? Didn't think that would be the answer to
that question did you? :) But she is! She's so sweet and works really hard! And
she keeps me obedient... Not that I'm disobedient... She just helps me out.
It's good. I love being with her :)
Oh, by the way, my ward is huge.
over 300 single family homes. It's craziness. And everyone here is super
successful! I don't get it. Here are these drop-dead-gorgeous girls who are
successful and brilliant... And they're not married? What is wrong with men out
here? (I was told to tell you: If you're looking for a wife, there are some
great girls out here, haha.)
I love living in DC. I'm not like
super downtown, but I am in the District. It's so cool! I love it! This is what
I imagined when I got my call letter! There are so many awesome places around!
I live just up the street from the National Zoo, and the Mall is the bottom of
my area. Coolest area ever. I could live here again, I think. :) Driving
downtown-downtown is kind of sketchy, but I'm sure I'll learn how to drive
there soon enough.

By the way! I discovered a new
scripture that i just absolutely love :) Deuteronomy 31:6. You should probably
go look that one up :) It's helped me out a lot this transfer. Just remember
that you are a child of God. He knows you, He loves you, and He desires your
happiness. He did not send you here to fail.
6 Be strong and of a good acourage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the bLord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not cfail thee, nor dforsake thee.
I love you and miss you all. Thank
you for all your love and support :)
OH! I almost forgot! HAPPY NO SOCKS
DAY! (Thanks, Aunt Sheree. Love you!)
Love,
Sister Bullock
