My dearest family!!

One of the funniest things that happened this week was the funniest little black 7 year old kid named Isaiah.We saw him standing next to some old guy on the side of the road, so naturally we stop to talk to him (the older guy), but it turned out that this little 7 year old had a lot more to say. He asked us what we do, we told him that we go all around Woodbridge and talk to people about Jesus. After like 2 minutes the guy he was standing close to walked away, we asked Isaiah later on and he told us he didn't know the guy at all haha. We kept on telling him about what we do and He said, " Oh well I'm a preacher. hahaha Just kidding. but really you guys need to talk to my mom. She loves Jesus more than anyone I know.. she must pray like every 5 minutes.. you want her number? We were like "I mean.. sure" he gave us his moms phone number and started asking more and more questions which was funny because he's the most smooth talking, charismatic 7 year old you'll ever meet. Somehow we got to the point where he wanted to come out and contact with us.. we told him we couldn't because we were heading home for dinner, but he was pretty determined to come out with us. He was like "Oh! I'll come with you and just wait outside then when you're done we can go out. We tried to tell him no, and I still don't know how it happened but some how we ended up standing there waiting for Isaiah to come back from asking permission from his mom to come out with us. Me and Elder Jones came up with a way to get out of it and when he came back we told him that we couldn't and that we'd go out another time. He was a little bummed but he said, " Could I just breakdance for you really quick?? we were like haha ummm sure. the he was like" okay, actually I'm just gonna rap for you. could you drop me a beat? I started laughing but I was like okay, so I started beatboxing and managed to get my camera out just in time to get the most amazing video of a 7 year old kid free-style flowing.. haha it was priceless, remind me to show you that video when I get home. After he was done I asked him If I could get a pick with him and we started to leave and I was like you're a pretty cool kid Isaiah, and he was like. You guy's a way cool we're going to be best friends now!!! and he hoped on his little bike and road away haha it was the greatest and now we're going to contact his mom and baptize them both!!! haha It was the greatest and this story really doesn't do it justice at all.
It's been such a great week!! So many random miracles and funny things happened and I wish I could tell you everything.. but that would take forever and our member ride would leave us stranded at the library.
Mom, I've been doing pretty good with my book of mormon reading, I just read Alma 15-18 this morning. I LOVE chapter 17 when the sons of Mosiah are bout to leave and go teach the Lamanites. I feel like I can relate to that chapter a lot, and the courage reminds me just how great of a work that I have undertaken.

So I didn't tell you who my companion was last week because I didn't have him yet and I didn't know who he was going to be. That's just how transfers work here in the Virginia Richmond Mission, but I got him now and I'm super excited. I was super worried that my last companion would be one of those missionaries who makes it hard to work. I am so blessed to have a companion who is quite the opposite. His name is Elder Jones, he's from Queens Creek, Arizona. He's been out for 6 months, he came out in the same MTC district as Elder White. We have so much fun doing the Lords work. We just go out and talk to everyone and testify boldly and defend the faith when necessary and I love it!! We've only been together for like 5 days and I know that he is the missionary I needed to be companions with in order to do all that I want this last transfer of my mission!!
