Happy St. Patricks Day, stake conference, old friends...

Oh good a monday holiday where the libraries are still open!! :D I like this one :) haha! Well! it's been a great day so far! We had our st. patricks day shakes for breakfast with cute shamrock straws and then we went to the royers to do our laundry! still no baby sheep... but we did play Phase 10 so that was lots of fun! and now we're here emailing :)

So! Last Monday after emailing we went back to the Royers and we finished up writing letters and then we made apple crisp!! Brother Royer gave us the recipe to use and it made tons! haha one for us, one for the royers, and one for the elders! :D So we made that and Sister Royer gave us cute aprons to wear and took pictures of the whole process :) i forgot to get a picture of the final product though...we ate it too fast! ;) haha so the elders came over after pday and we had coordination meeting and then we ate lasagna and apple crisp for dessert!! And lots of laughs! haha :D it was a great meeting :)

Tuesday we went over to Melanie's and we organized a book shelf for her! and then we stopped by to see Linda and we visited with her for a little while and she was telling us about her friend who said he would like to come to church! So hopefully we'll be able to get to know him soon...I think Sister Huefner has met him before...so now we just need to teach him and get him to really come to church! :D Linda is already an awesome missionary :) Then Arnez got home from picking up her grandkids from school so we talked with them for a little bit and then we went to Damariscotta! We went and saw Sister Gove for a bit and just talked with her, listened to more of her stories :) and then it was time to go home!

Wednesday we didn't have district meeting because we had zone interviews this week! So instead we went over to the Kanewskes and did service there! Good news is they got the fox! And we were able to get a lot done with the food storage organizing project! And the elders were able to help Brother Kanewske chop wood and then we all had lunch together! Then we went and didmormon.org and then the elders were doing a family history workshop class thing in Damariscotta and we decided to join them! It was a really rainy day and just not the greatest weather so we didn't know if anyone would show up! But there was a couple who came and guess where they live? yup Damariscotta! so that would be our area :) The elders had a nice presentation and went over a bunch of stuff and answered questions and everything and the people really liked it and... this wednesday they're going to come to the church for a tour! So that will be awesome!! Then afterwards we went to the church and had a little coordination meeting with the elders! and then the youth activity got cancelled so Book of Mormon class got cancelled so we went home, had dinner and finished some transfer planning!

Thursday the weather just got worse and there was a lot of ice! We had to cancel our lesson with linda and arnez :/ and we didn't make it up to Sister Andersen's :( But we were abel to do our weekly planning! And then we went over to the Royers for dinner and that was about it for thursday!

Friday the elders came to our apartment and then we all drove to Augusta for interviews!! We had the zone meeting part first where the zone leaders do a lesson and training and also the sister training leaders came and did some training too! It was super good! and then we had lunch and then interviews and they went really well! :) After that we took advantage of being in the city and took a trip to Walmart!! It was wonderful! Oh and then we went to Wendy's for dinner! :) Then we drove home and finished some planning!

Saturday we didn't have a lesson with linda and arnez cuz they were sick :( so we tried to see the Osiers but they weren't home... we tried to see a few others but not much luck! But we drove to Topsham with Sister Brooks that night for Stake Conference!!! That was so much fun!!! It was a really good meeting all about hastening the work! and we were sitting there and there was an empty seat next to me and guess who walked in?? Sister Giveen!! She came over and asked if anyone was sitting there and luckily I had saved it just for her :) It was so good to see her! She is a less active in the Topsham ward that we used to visit lots but she was really busy and sick and I never got a picture with her! So I did! :D I got to see the Smiths and Bro Rainey and lots of other old friends :) It was the greatest!!

Then on Sunday we went with Sister Brooks, Linda and Brother Duffy down to Portland for stake conference! They have it at a middle school down there! And i got to see lots more of my friends!!! The Raineys!! and guess what!? they're moving to Oregon in May!! :O crazy!! and I saw the Mullins!!! and lots of others :) oh and the Flaggs!!!!!!! They were all there so that was super fun to see and talk to them!! :D And it was a really good meeting so that was an extra bonus :) Ahh!! It was just so fun to see all of them :) I love being a missionary and meeting all these amazing people!!! Then we came back and we went over to the Royers and we ended up having dinner with them! 

So that was it! It was a pretty good week! And here we go on to week 4 of the transfer!! AHH! time is flying!!!!!! Well!! I hope you all remembered to wear green today!!! Happy St. Patricks Day!! LOVE YOU LOTS!! :)
