Washington DC Week 9, 11/16/15

So this week is very exciting! To describe our teaching

pool, it's kinda of like the story of that Greek guy who was punished
to be eternally thirsty and stood in a pool of water but everytime he
bent over the water receded. UGH. We constantly meet super nice people
who listen to us and are willing to meet with us but when we actually
try to schedule appointments and try to meet with them they NEVER CAN
or are never home. Super frustrating! Eduardo is still super nice and
grateful when we call him but he's super busy also and hasn't been
able to meet with us. We met this one guy in our apartment complex
while he was working on his car and he said he'd totally be willing to
meet with us and we were stoked, and we asked him what times he could
meet with us and I could literally see the words coming out of his

mouth before he said them,"yeah man you'll just have to meet me when

I'm in between work and school, I don't have a specific time that's
good for me. Keep trying." That's the way everyone is here which is
super frustrating, especially when you're on bikes. The other day we
biked up hills for a solid hour to get to appointments the people
cancelled on when we got there. Pray for our investigators to not be
flaky! We really need the guidance of the spirit to be able to meet
with anyone. The people here are so busy. Pray for us also! Especially
pray for Eduardo to find time to meet with us and for Victor that he
can find the strength to quit smoking and drinking coffee. This'll be
kinda of a short letter, but I love you all! Obedience brings
blessings every time!

It's like 2 miles from our church building and were visiting it right

now! He's a pretty cool guy.

Hey I got your package! We went home and it was right there. THANK YOU
SO MUCH, I love it! Seriously made my week. I actually just spent 5 of
those fresh 15 dollars on a calzone at this Italian place right next
to our apartment and it was GREAT. Jag är jätteglad! Tack så mycket
mamma! Jag älskar er!
