Another week is gone! I feel like I was just here but I'm so glad it's Monday again! :)
So last Monday we had our district p-day! That was fun we got to go to a lighthouse... which means we got to go to the beach... :D It was super fun! So we saw the lighthouse, hung out at the beach for a little while, then went to a members house and just played games! It was great! Then we came home and it was kinda a really crazy night with lots of confusion with our member dinner... long story short we ended up not going to their house for dinner and just ate at home... oh and we couldn't get our laundry til the next day... notice Sister Sowards shirt in the picture... she had to borrow one of my shirts that day cuz all her's were in the wash! So I let her cuz I'm such a nice companion... but all I had was my Utah Utes one! She's from Provo...so obviously wasn't too happy about this and tried to cover it in all the pictures... haha too great! She also wore my Utah Utes pajamas to bed that night since she didn't have any... haha too funny... Anyways! It has been a good week but a crazy one for sure!!
Monday night since p-day ends at 6 we went on exchanges....so we did a little switcheroo with the Yarmouth sisters and I went there with Sister Brown! I really have a love hate relationship with exchanges. I really really hate them and the whole leaving overnight thing... but also they are really great cuz I always learn so much! We taught one of their investigators and that went well! Then we just contacted some referrals and were able to see how Heavenly Father really is preparing the way for us! On the way walking to another house a guy pulled in to his driveway and came to get his mail... so we walked past him, said hello and then just started talking about who we were because he wondered what we were doing parking on the side of a busy road and walking around... we told him we were missionaries and what we believe and pretty much gave him the whole restoration lesson right there at his mail box! Gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he'd maybe check it out! It was pretty awesome! Heavenly Father is placing people in our paths and opening the hearts of so many people!
Wednesday was my official one month out in the field day!! So that's pretty crazy!! I feel like I just got here...but at the same time I feel like I've been here forever...... Anyways Wednesdays are always good because we see Brother Eldredge who is the less active that is coming back to church after not going for 30 years! He's amazing!! His next step is getting the priesthood so we talked about that! Then we saw a few others that day and then that night there was a crazy thunder/lightning storm! I think Heavenly Father felt bad that we didn't get to see fireworks so we got a lightning show! Seriously though I've never seen anything like that!! It lit up our whole room and the thunder was so loud!
Thursday we went to the hospital, then went to the park to wait for Alex.... It is so hard to get a hold of a homeless man! We waited for an hour with an 80 year old member that came along with us and then he never showed up! :( it was pretty lame... and then Friday we found out that.... Alex moved back to Bath! So now he's back in the elders area and we don't have a baptismal date! haha which was sad but also kinda good for us because we were stressing because we didn't know what to do with him since it was so hard to be in contact and meet with him! So we lost him...but then..... we found 2 new investigators!!!! AHHH!!! yessssssss!!!! We were so excited!!
Friday was a day of lots and lots of walking and then we decided to stop by this house that is a referral from the ward and the sisters have gone there before..... but we stopped by and Pat and Ken are their names... they were just sitting down for dinner but they let us right in!! They were so willing to let us come in and talk to them! It was great! they're just the cutest and I love them! and we're going back on Friday! So i'll let you how that goes! We have TWO new investigators!!! AH! okay just a little excited about that :)
Saturday we went and saw lots of less actives! That's pretty much where we've seen the most success! But it's so awesome because lots of them their next step is the temple!!! So we're just helping them to get there and it's so great! :) We've come to see how they're just as important as investigators! Oh yeah and driving home that day I saw a sign that said it was national ice cream day... idk what day it actually was but there's no way we were going to miss it! So we got smores blizzards on our way home :) So that was a good day! and yesterday was good too! nothing too exciting! No crazy food or anything this week...
haha I think there's lots more I was going to tell you but I can't think of everything right now! haha but I'm still learning lots and trying to get the hang of all this! It's crazy! and transfer calls are this Saturday!! Freakin out just a bit!! haha I don't know what's gonna happen but I have faith that Heavenly Father knows what he's doing....!!!! So it's all gonna be great! haha but yeah! I guess that's all for now! I love you all so much! Have a great week!! :)
