Dear Family!

Monday was a really great day! We went down into the city where we stopped at a stationary store, pen store and at Caesar's home. We got to go and see this old canal that's in Georgetown. We got to explore some of it and took some great photos! Going down into the city is such a great opportunity that we have because we are still able to contact people as we go around from place to place. 

Tuesday we got to go back to the farm! Who know that on my mission in DC that I would learn how to groom and take care of a horse! I guess it's one of those surprises that no one mentions. Earlier that day we had our zone district meeting. We have a super small district, there are total 6 of us. 

Thursday was a great day. We got to accompany the Montgomery Village Elders to a members home that wanted to feed them. Since she is single, they asked us to come as the 3rd male. Needless to say she is a pretty crazy old French lady! Sister Kirkham is pretty insane...she has us do all this little service because her husband spends most of the year in Florida to dodge taxes or something like that. That night we were going to have Betsy's family over to our ward mission leaders home. The focus is to try and get her husband a friend in the ward. He got a call into work because they were expecting 3 inches of snow so that got cancelled.

Friday we had a super amazing experience. We ran into this Brazilian who let us into his house from when we just knocked on his door. His name is Cemir. He doesn't really speak English that well, but Elder Woodis has some pretty killer Spanish so they were able to have a little lesson. He invited us back so this next time we visit him we are taking our zone leaders because Elder Cruz is Brazilian and speaks Portuguese. We were also out tracting and ran into some French speakers and I was able to somewhat talk with her and was able to refer her to the French Elders!

Saturday was a pretty rough day, our appointments for the day cancelled, but that meant we got to go tract for a bit! Other than that really nothing happened. We were able to get a couple of Spanish referrals for the Hermanas. Since Sunday was fast Sunday we fasted since lunch so we could be prepped for Sunday. When Sunday came, the strangest thing happened. I've talked about Harold before, well he came into church claiming that he doesn't remember anything because of something that had happened in DC the day before. He claims he doesn't remember either me or Johnson. After talking with Woodis, we decided that he is trying to hoax the ward, but we will put it out and see how it goes. We finished off the night at Lulu's home for dinner and saying goodbye to her daughter Natalie. She helped us bring Betsy to church and teaching her. She's moving to Utah to try and find a job in Provo. 

It's been a pretty great week, hope all of you have had a great one as well!

Love, Elder Bentley
