ysa ward is awesome!!!!

The (DC 2nd) YSA Ward is a lot different than a family ward, but I do like it a lot!  They are so good.  We had the interns come in this past week and they are great!  The ward is so good to help with missionary work, they love it!

We are teaching three people in the ward right now.  The one I'm most excited about is Arunjana.  Her boyfriend introduced her to us and she is fantastic.  She came up to one of our more recent investigators, Bren, and fellowshipped her.  When she found out that Bren was also an investigator she invited her to come to her lessons with us and everything.  New plan:  every new investigator introduce to Arunjana!  The members in the ward are super excited about missionary work.  They love to come out teaching with us.  We end up doing a bit of street contacting, which isn't super effective.  It's always the latinos who will listen, so we get referrals for the spanish missionaries.  Oh to be in the spanish program!  Now I just need to learn how to contact in spanish.  We have talked to a couple YSA's who want to know about activities the ward is having, so we've got some potential.  We also got permission to attend institute.  The senior couple, Elder Brown, teaches and he encourages the interns and all who go to bring non-members and to do missionary work.  Some statistic we saw says that 90% of non-members who attend institute get baptized, so we're really excited!

Love you all!
Love, Sister Wankier

ps. I met an elder yesterday whose name is Elder Winkler (haha it's a combination of how everyone pronounces our name wrong!)
