Sister Hallie Mae Kapp: I'm in DC!

Hello everyone! A lot has happened this week so get ready.

- I had my last shifts in Kirtland and I ended where I started, giving a tour at the Village.

- We had our Next Chapter Dinner which was so sad but really good. I can't wait to see everyone again someday.

- Wednesday we flew out! We had to book it to our connecting flight but made it! One of stl's, Sister Merill, that picked us up, served in Kirtland last summer so it was fun to talk with her.

- We had dinner and devotional at the mission home then stayed the night at a hotel.

- On Thursday we went to the Lincoln Memorial and street contacted from there, past the Washington Monument, onto the Metro and down to the temple. Sister Hendrix and I placed 2 Book of Mormons which was a cool feeling.

- Thursday evening I met my trainer Sister Esplin! She's awesome!

- I'm in the White Oak District which isn't known for tons of success but we've seen loads of miracles already. One sister brought 2 friends to the temple visitors center to get a tour from us and one seemed really interested! Then at church a sister had 2 friends that are interested so we're meeting with them this week. These things don't just happen so they are amazing blessings and miracles.

- My ward is awesome! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The ward has a goal to get the missionaries into 40 member's homes in 40 days so we've been fed alot and it has given me great opportunities to get to know the ward.

- Sunday night we has a devotional with our stake president and his wife and this is where I want to pull my spiritual thought out. We focused on Luke 17:5-10 and it teaches that a little faith can make miracles and that faith is a blessing not earned so you always need to work to increase it.

Love you all!
