May 8, 2013 - Car problems...but all is well. :)

Hey Mom first week as District Leader was good!  I learned a lot, especially about call-ins.  The reason for call-ins on 3 nights of the week that I've found is because it assists in accountability and for your area.  I am really looking forward to the first district meeting.  I'm gonna have some fun with it.

I think that's awesome about Grandpa's relatives in Elsinore!  Do we know who their descendants are?  

Can't wait to hear from J and H.  Odd that two of my uncle's brothers are out here at the same time but that's fine with me!

Congrats on BYU Rugby winning the National Championship!!!  Also congrats to my friend Anna on her engagement!  

Well in the news back here, we've had a myriad of car difficulties.  On Thursday we had to take it in because the traction control and ABS was acting up.  So we got a replacement car, a 2013 Corolla.  Elder B took the Subaru to the body shop on Friday so it could get repaired for the damages from the accident.  Since the Corolla didn't have DC license plates we had to scramble around for a couple of days to find a place to park.  Finally one of our friends at Gallaudet came up big when her sorority sister got us a parking pass for a month for free so that was taken care of.  Then yesterday we apparently ran over a huge piece of metal with the Corolla and got a flat!  We had to change the flat, IN THE RAIN, then take it to Pep Boys to get it fixed.  We took it in at 5:30, the J's came and picked us up, then we went to go get it at the end of the night and didn't get outta there til 9:10.  I was thinking, "How long does it take to change a tire?!"  Anyways that's been the car struggles we've dealt with this week.

In other news we had a fantastic lesson with J on Sunday!  President F came with us and we taught J about prayer.  We all feel really strongly that Jason will "get" the Gospel.  We just have to keep having faith and doing all we can to support him.  

We helped M move yesterday from her 3rd floor apartment to another 3rd floor.  Oh man does she have a lot of stuff!  I'm pretty pooped from that haha.  

Well anyway I love you bunches!  As big as the universe even!  -Elder Schoemig
