So it's Monday again! :D First of all I just want to say thanks so much for all of your love, support, and prayers! I have really felt them this week! You guys are the greatest!! :) So here's how our week was....
Monday was p-day and we had a pretty packed day! We dropped our laundry off at a members house and then came and did our emails! then we went and switched our laundry and then we went and cleaned our apartment then we went and picked up our laundry then we went and picked up the elders and went to Walmart to buy our food for the week! then we dropped them off at the library to do their emails and we went to Target! Sister Sowards wanted to get some new clothes....so we ended up buying matching dresses but they needed to be hemmed so then we went home and wrote letters and hemmed our dresses! But we ran out of thread so we didn't get to finish...so maybe today... haha! then we went to the Rainey's for dinner! It was a very successful p-day!
Tuesday we went to the soup kitchen and we were able to talk to a couple of people that were interested in the gospel... people always ask if we're really sisters and then we tell them that we're missionaries and all about us and the church! There was a man there that day who knew all about the church and we gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he'd love to read it! He was so excited and asked for our autographs! hahah he said I know you didn't write it but I want to remember who gave it to me! So we both wrote our testimonies in it and then gave it to him! :) There's always seeds to be planted!! :) After the soup kitchen we studied and then had mormon.org time! Then we went to the Hersoms for dinner and talked to them about the temple!
Wednesday we usually have district meeting but this week it was canceled because of zone conference! So instead of district meeting we ended up doing service for one of the members! Sister Mullin was getting ready for her daughters birthday party for Saturday and asked if we could help! It was so much fun! We painted monsters because the theme was Monsters Inc! So we had lots of fun doing that on Wednesday for a little bit then Sister Smith picked us up and we went and saw Brother Eldredge! He's just as great as ever! We went over the priesthood with him and of course he already knows everything! Then we went back home and studied until Book of Mormon class! and Brother Eldredge was the only there again! haha but it was really good we talked about prayer and fasting!
Thursday we went to the hospital and did service and then after that we went back to the Mullins to do more service and help with the painting! :) And then we ended up having dinner with them! So pretty much this week has just been full of lots of service!
Friday we had our zone conference and it was all about working with members and getting to know them better and serving them and being more involved with them! It was really good! I learned lots of good stuff and we got lots of new ideas to really help bring forth the work! Members are so important in missionary work and we talked about how we're just here to assist them and help them in the work! So that's what we're gonna do and we're gonna do all we can to help members to have more missionary experiences and really involve them! It was fun to be there with all the missionaries from different zones and to be able to meet more people!
Saturday we did more service! :) We went and helped Sister Mullin set up for the party at the church! She's an awesome missionary and had invited lots of nonmembers and actually our two investigators Pat and Ken were going to be there! We got to talk to a few people there so that was really good but then we had to leave and go to High Priest Lobster dinner...! hahah yumm lobster! haha it was really fun and there were lots of delicious desserts! haha the lobster...still not my favorite thing....
Sunday was good for us! we got most of our missionary work done yesterday...it was a super packed day which was good! We went to church then went to a members house for lunch right after! Then we went straight to Greg's and taught him....the lesson went pretty well we just taught about charity and he loves talking about Christ and Christ-like attributes! Then we went to the Paradis and we just read the Book of Mormon with them! Then we went to John our new investigator that we got last week! He had read all of the pamphlets that we gave him and we just taught him the first lesson! It went really well!! It was mine and Sister Sowards first first lesson! Crazy huh?! haha but it was pretty great! His girlfriend is a member and it was really powerful to have her there and to bear her testimony! He also prayed for us at the end of the lesson and said he would read the Book of Mormon! He wants to know that's it's true! So he's great!...if only we could teach him more... but they're both moving away to college in the next couple of weeks so I don't know if we'll get to teach him anymore! But at least we got to teach the first lesson! It was awesome! :) Then after that we went to the Jone's house! We got a new ward mission leader yesterday and they had us and the elders over for dinner! They are the cutest family and he is going to be so great! I'm super excited and he really knows what he's doing and wants to help us! So be prepared to hear of some great changes and miracles happening soon in the Topsham ward!
Tonight we're going on exchanges and I'm staying here...and Sister Sowards is leaving me! AH! kinda scary...haha but it's gonna be really good for me! So I'm really excited but super nervous.... I'm gonna be in charge of everything tomorrow and guess what!? I might even get to drive the car! haha...so next week I'll have some exciting stories for sure!
Can't believe it's time to go back to school now! Crazy crazy!! I'm glad I'm here and not there... haha :) but hope you all have a great week!! Love you so much!
Love,
Sister Tait
