Tuesday we went to see Linda and Arnez but it was just Linda cuz Arnez had to take her daughter Olivia to the doctor. But Sister Duffy came with us and we had a good lesson with Linda! We watched the Because of Him video and she loved it of course! and then we set up her tablet so she had all the good lds apps and she was so excited about that! especially because with her arthritis it's hard for her to carry all the books to church but now she has them all on her tablet and just has to carry that! :D pretty great :) We tried to see a few other investigators the Osiers...but they weren't home :/ so we went to Damariscotta and did mormon.org and then tried to see a less active and then came home for dinner and then a lesson with the Smiths! We taught them about the restoration using the game jenga so that was wicked fun! they loved it!
Wednesday we had zone conference!! oh and get this...we woke up, looked out the window and what did we see??? umm no! not popcorn popping... but snow!!! snow!??! really?!?!?! you've got to be kidding me... haha ummm no! not kidding! it wasn't a lot but still! everything was white! haha... so the elders came and picked us up and we went to Augusta for zone conference! That was exciting :) It was all about Preach My Gospel so there was lots of good stuff that we talked about :) then afterwards we went to walmart and bought some things there...including hula hoops cuz at the sisters conference they were showing us how they were such a great way to exercise! haha so we couldn't resist :) they're pretty fun :) we went to wendy's for dinner (since we don't have one of those in our area either!!) haha and then we came home and hula hooped and talked to sister brooks for the rest of the night! :)
Thursday we had to go to Damariscotta and get our oil changed! So while we were waiting for that to get done we decided to walk down main street :) We went in a few of the stores and I ended up buying myself an early birthday present... haha and then we had lunch and got our car back! Then we went and did some service for sister locke - hanging up clothes at her store :) and then we went and read the Book of Mormon with Sister Russell! and then we went and saw Sister Gove! well..you see..we knew it was her birthday on saturday...and we know that peanut butter pie is her favorite!!! so the only problem was that we didn't think you're allowed to bring food to the people at the nursing home/rehab place that she's in.... but we prayed about it and decided she had to have that pie! ;) haha so we smuggled it in ;) haha well no worries we checked with the nurse to make sure she could have it :) and it was okay :) Sister Gove was sooooo happy!! :) Then we went to the church, had dinner and we were going to possibly have Book of Mormon class... but no one came.. so the elders got there.. and then sister brooks showed up cuz it was her week to clean the church! So instead we all just helped her clean!! :)
Friday we did some weekly planning for most of the morning and then we went and saw the Seversons! We had dinner with them and showed them the cool object lesson about the Book of Mormon and Bible being one and how they go hand in hand! We invited them to church and they said no :/ but hopefully they'll read the Book of Mormon this week! Then we went to the Smiths and we taught them about the plan of salvation with little cutouts that sister welch has! So they liked that :) This week one of the twins...I think it was Kathy...haha I can't tell them apart... maybe it was Karen.. but one of them gave me a little window decoration thing! haha everytime we go over there they give me a little present! i've gotten a bracelet and a watermelon plant already! haha too funny :) So after that we came home and hula hooped and made treats for the baptism the elders were having the next day :)
So Saturday! We had a lesson with Linda and Arnez! It was mostly a repeat of Tuesday but Arnez was there and not sister Duffy! :) So we got the gospel library app all set up on Arnez's tablet and she was so excited about that :) and then we talked about the word of wisdom. Then we went and did service for Melanie and helped her with her yard work! then we went and changed back to missionary clothes and got all our brownies, cupcakes and rice krispy treats! and then we went to the Zauggs and shared an easter message with them! then we went to the church for a baptism!! The elders investigator Terry got baptized!! He is 10 years old and is just the cutest!! It was so awesome! :) Then after all that we came home, opened up our packages and for our dinner hour we decorated easter eggs :D and then we called sister gove to sing her happy birthday and she had the best news ever!! she said that the dyers were bringing her to sacrament meeting and that the place was going to let her leave for an hour to come to church!!! :D ahhhhh!!!
So sunday church was awesome! It was pretty packed! lots of friends and family there!! we gotta get it like that every week!! :D Sister Gove was there and that was so happy :) and then Arnez's granddaughter Jillian got to come with them!!! She's ten years old and is over there a lot cuz Arnez babysits them while Olivia works! But Olivia's heart is definitely softening because at first she wouldn't talk to us and now she'll talk to us a little when we see her at the house or at hannaford :) and she did not want Jillian to go to church but she let her come yesterday!! ahhh!!! it was so cool :) We were in primary of course so we got to be in there with Jillian and she loved it!!! :) I hope she gets to come again!! :) So after church we went to Sister Royer's sister's cabin that is out on an island!!! AHHHH!! :D So we got to meet a lot of her family who are not members yet... and took tons of super amazing pictures of the ocean!!!!!! oh my goodness it was amazing :) so we had lunch with them! and then we went to the elders apartment and they drove us all to the Barkers house and we had dinner with them! :) It was a pretty great easter!! :D So yeah! I'm just serving in the most amazing place ever!!! ahhh!!! loving it!!!!!!!!! and i love all of you!!! have a great week!!! :D
