Sister Hallie Mae Kapp: ✨️Foggy Bottom✨️

Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing swell! Well, here we are, my last transfer, kinda crazy.

Wednesday was transfers and let me tell you prayers were answered. My dream for my final transfer was to serve in DC, in a ysa, and have a comp I can have fun with and let me tell you God provided. I am serving in the Foggy Bottom YSA (yes that's the real name) and our area is all of DC. My companion is Sister Booth and she is the best! We are already having so much fun!

The work here is so different from my others areas. We don't have a car so we walk, bus, and metro everywhere. This makes it so we are constantly finding and talking to everyone. We send so many referrals to other missionaries every day. It's fun knowing we are helping the whole mission with the work.

Basically our whole YSA (minus our friends) are interns from Utah which kinda surprised me lol, but they're chill.

A super cool miracle was when Sister Booth was telling me about our new member Olga from Ukraine that we were gonna have a lesson with. As she was telling me this I remembered an Olga from Ukraine that I gave a church tour to in my first area but sent her off to a ysa (didn't remember which one). I thought there's no way it's her. And guess what?! It is! And she actually remembered me and she is baptized! God works in such cool ways!

Fun fact I learned from my comp is that at some grocery stories if you scan a Book of Mormon when you check out you get a discount! I literally saved over $2 on toilet paper!

We have some really cool friends and new members that I'm super excited to get to know!

When we go finding on the metro we will hop carts at stops and we had a day when we started in the back and made it through every cart, talking to so many people!

Saturday we got prayed over which was interesting...lol

Sunday was SO good! We had 2 friends at church plus 2 of our new members! The talks were amazing! We had a linger longer after, met some cool people finding, had dinner with this amazing senior missionary couple, the Sheridans, and had our cookies and ice Sunday social!

So much happens every day here it's honestly hard to keep track of all of it.

Spiritual Thought:

During my personal study this week I read Enos 1:12

"12 And it came to pass that after I had prayed and labored with all diligence, the Lord said unto me: I will grant unto thee according to thy desires, because of thy faith."

It is through our faith and efforts that God can work miracles and bless us with the righteous desires of our hearts. Like Enos we first have to "labor with all diligence" and have then receive the reward if it is God's will.

Love you all!
