Stone henge in Virginia??

This week has been awesome! We've found a couple people that we're really excited to start teaching. It's really amazing how Heavenly Father blesses us when we do something as simple as a fast, too! It's crazy, even just yesterday we fasted as a zone of 18 people, all for us to be able to find people that are really prepared. Well, that was only yesterday, and we ended our fast at dinner with some members and the zone leaders. We left dinner, stuffed of course, and went on our way to an appointment like 30 minutes away. We were a little late, and it fell through, so we made our way home to take our studies.

A house that's been standing out to us was along the way home, so we stopped there and knocked on the door. It was in the middle of no where, and we had no idea what we were gonna say or do. Well, we didnt have to do anything, she spoke first, introducing herself. It sounds like its not a big deal, but if you've been a missionary, you know how rare that is. She then started asking all these awesome questions, and told us that we were lucky to stop by right then, because she just got back from a week-long trip in DC. Oh yea, she was visiting the temple's visitors center. TOTALLY ELECT. 
It's just so crazy how if we put faith in a sacrifice that we make, even if its something small, like a couple meals, and hold through to the end, the blessings will come. And not just blessings like everyday, mundane things that we thank God for, but legitimate miracles. What are the chances that would've just happened. Also, we keep running into people that speak ONLY spanish. It's great, but we cant talk to them. They welcome us back and we teach them with a translator. I kind of wish that I took Spanish in High School now. Haha. Oh well.

Last pday we went to a little thing in our area called the Foam Henge. It's actually not little. It's a life-size replica of the Stone Henge and its also in the middle of no where, like most things out here. There's a famous artist that makes all these sculptures out of foam and makes them completely public. He usually does some awesome April's Fools day jokes. This year, there was a 40 foot russian submarine just hanging out in the Maury River right next to BV. Anyway, he's a way awesome guy, and his daughter, Sunny, is investigating the church right now. He might be next. Watch out Mark Cline! Haha, just kidding. I'll attach pictures!

Oh yea, a dragon fly landed on my leg and stayed there as I walked for 10 minutes. I got a picture of that too.

Well, those are the highlights of the last week. Sure do love ya!
