Well we survived the crazy week!!!! And just as I thought it went by super fast!! seriously! I can't believe i'm already emailing you again! pfft! It's ridiculous! This week went by way too quickly! But let me tell you all about it!... So after emailing last monday we went and Sister Huefner got her haircut! then we went to the store real quick...we ate some lunch...and then we went to Augusta! We got there at like five and guess who was there?! Sister Sowards!!!!! So I got to talk to her for a little bit! :D then all the zone leaders and sister training leaders left and went to Manchester for their meeting! So I stayed with all the Augusta and Gardiner missionaries! they were just hanging out at the church so I finished up my letter writing and then played some games with them! so I was in a trio with Sister Lassen and Sister Wray! p-day ends at 6 so then we went to dinner at a members house! Then we went back to their apartment did nightly planning and went to bed!
Tuesday was a good day in Augusta! We went and had a lesson with their investigator Lawrence! It was one packed dining room table! Lawrence then three missionaries and then the member that came along! haha we taught the gospel of Jesus Christ and focused on the Atonement and it was really good! After that we tried to see a less active but she wasn't home! So we went and did mormon.org! then we did some tracting! that's also fun in a trio...haha they just look at you like you're extra crazy cuz there's three of you! There weren't very many people home that day but we did talk to one nice old lady who was really excited to hear about familysearch.org so we talked to her all about family history work for a little bit and gave her a card! So maybe they'll go back there one day :) then we went to their coordination meeting at the church and then all the sister training leaders and zone leaders came back! so I got to see sister Huefner for a second...we had a little exchange meeting and then Sister Lassen and I drove back to Waldoboro!! We got home just in time to plan for the next day and go to bed!
Wednesday was just a party! It was snowing alllllll day! It would not stop! It was coming down an inch per hour! So I was like oh great..what are we gonna do?! We had really good plans for that day and I was so sad that they weren't gonna work out! But we still made it a good day :) We ended up walking to the Seversons house cuz they just live down the road! And we actually had a really good lesson/discussion with them all about Alma 34:32! It was awesome!! then we walked back in the snow...we thought about walking to linda and arnez's but then decided that 4 miles both ways was too far in the snow... haha good choice! Instead we ended up doing service and painted for Sister Brooks! We painted two of the doors and door frames and the kitchen walls! And then new beginnings got canceled because of all the snow so there went our dinner...so we made pizza with sister brooks! It was really fun and delicious! :)
Thursday we had zone conference!!!! oh my goodness! so many things I could tell you about zone conference!!! It was so good! :) So fun to see so many friends that i've made :) the big thing that we talked about was the talk "The Fourth Missionary" ...it's really long... haha we had to read it in companion study the two days before zone conference and then we talked about it all together with all the missionaries there! At first I was a little worried about the talk because it's kinda daunting..or intimidating... but it turned out to be really good and to feel like something was more realistic as missionaries and we had a really good discussion about it! We talked a lot about what we want to do now on our missions and applying that to our future lives....and how we determine our destiny!! lots of good things to say...but i'm already running out of time... ahhh...i'll have to tell you more about this later cuz I could go on and on about these quotes i want to tell you!!!!!! haha but anyways...i'm gonna have to save them for later...haha but zone conference was awesome!!! Then we came home (both sister huefner and I came back to Waldoboro) and then we went to New Beginnings! It was all 50's themed so that was super fun! :)
Friday was a super amazing day!!!!! We had a really good lesson with Linda, Arnez, and Tom! Then we went and saw Sister Osier who let us in, fed us lunch and then we talked to her for a while about the Book of Mormon and what she had read and then we went into the restoration! We used like seven of the scriptures we've memorized and I got to share James 1:5 and go into the first vision and tell that to her and the spirit was SO strong!!! It was so neat!!!! She was so receptive and we invited her to be baptized and she said she'd love to learn more!! So that was just amazing!!! then we did some weekly planning! oh and then we made some fried oreos :) haha
sunday we had church and there were about 70 people there!! It was a good turn out I would say :) and then we saw Sister Gove she's out of the hospital which is good! and that was about it! now i'm out of time and we have to head to Auburn for our last exchange of the transfer!!! crazy stuff!!! well i love you all so much!!! have an amazing week!!!
