Things are going well, here. It's a slower area than the one I'm used to, but that's ok. Lots of work keeps me out of trouble. :) It's 3 times bigger than my previous area, and we're the only Hermanas in the ward, and we were stressed very much, but we gave some people to the elders, so we aren't so stressed now.
I wasn't able to go to the wedding on Saturday, but I did go to her baptism yesterday and she looked SO happy! And she was beautiful, all dressed in white. It was nice to see that last year's hopes finally came true. I was so happy for her and she was happy, and I think her husband will get baptized too, eventually.
So, the story of the Library of Congress goes like this: When Hna. Atkinson and I went to the Library of Congress, we ran into a member and he said, "I work in the Hispanic division of the Library of Congress. Come by sometime and I'll give you a tour." and he gave us a referral, so we decided to go visit him that day. We went, met his coworker-who was his referral-and he gave us a tour of the Hispanic division! It was so cool! He showed us this court case that had been painted by the native Americans that Cortez had stewardship over. The natives couldn't read or write a lick of Spanish, so instead, they painted what they wanted back as restitution for the heavy taxes the Spaniards put on them. It was cool. Also, I got to see the first Spanish dictionary and a stainless steel mural, made for Columbus. It was really cool! Also, I learned that there are 93 miles of shelving in the Library of Congress, and they still don't have enough space for all the books. It was cool. :)
