Hmmmmm..... well I've just got so much to say today!!!! haha... i'm gonna type as fast as I can but I probably won't get it all out today.... lots of mixed emotions today :/ :P :D :( :O :) ;( :) yup...it was transfer calls.... and looks like this is my last day to email from good old Waldoboro... I'm getting transferred and headed off to who knows where tomorrow!! But it'll be another adventure with more amazing people and more learning and growing and craziness! :) It's been a pretty crazy transfer! I really can't believe that it's been six weeks already... so weird. But it really has been a grandspacular week! a great end of the transfer!! So i guess i should tell you all about it!!!!
Monday was so great! The sun was shining all day so after emails we went back to the royers, wrote letters out on the deck and just basked in the sun :D ahhhhh! :) and then the elders came over and we had dinner and coordination meeting and then we had smores!!!!! :D so fun :)
Tuesday we had a lesson with Linda and Arnez and we went over the gospel principles book chapter 11 about the life of Christ! It was really good and Tom was even there! :) then we helped them plant some flowers in their yard :) and then we went to Melanie's and we cut down some trees, raked leaves, and did other yard work! We talked to her about the plan of salvation and a little about the gospel of Jesus Christ! Then we went home and sister brooks was working on the porch and then she said we could paint the mailbox! :D So she gave us the paint.. oh yeah.. that nice john deere yellow! it looks like a school bus... haha we didn't know but we're pretty sure it was vehicle paint... it wouldn't come out of the paint brushes... hahaha! and then we got to decorate it all cute :) it was so fun! then we went to the Smiths and played "don't eat pete" and talked about feasting on the words of Christ and how the scriptures can help us in our lives! :)
Wednesday we had district meeting in Damariscotta! The lesson was teaching in unity with your companion part 2! So each companionship had to prepare something to teach the district... guess what we did... that's right... we taught them how to hula hoop :) haha that was pretty entertaining :) they others taught how to tie knots, a magic trick, how to change a light bulb... hahaha it was great :) then we had district lunch! we went to a little deli place on main street in Damariscotta and got sandwiches and then ice cream!!!!!! :D it was was just wonderful :) and then took a cute district picture by the ocean :) then we went and had mormon.org time! and then we went and saw Sister Russell! We read the Book of Mormon with her so that was fun as always! then we were going to go see sister gove and we were driving down sister russell's driveway and we look over and see two horses in the middle of the road!!!!!! :O haha! so we parked the car right there, got out and went over to them... we weren't quite sure what we were gonna do...well rescue them of course but we didn't know where they belonged! haha so we got them over to a grassy area next to the house we guessed was theirs and they were eating the grass and then we walked around the house and found a fence that was open.... so we're just standing there... wondering what we're gonna do... oh yeah we knocked on the door but no one answered... so then we're just standing there taking pics of the horses and petting them... haha and then miracle!!! a cop drives by! so sister welch waves them down... they thought they were just our horses and we were out playing with them... right...in our skirts...logical! haha ;) but then they took the horses through to the other fence and then we thanked them and left and they said they'd talk to the lady... anyways... it was pretty crazy.. we really wanted to be able to talk to the lady and she came out and yelled thank you when we were to our car... but we didn't turn back and go give her a book of mormon or anything.. i know. what were we thinking!!?!?? clearly we weren't... so the next day we went back!!! We prayed for forgiveness and asked for another opportunity to talk to her! So we went to her house and she was outside! we talked to her for a bit, her name is penny and she knows sister russell and sister benner :) she was so grateful for us for saving her horses :) and we gave her a mormon.org card and said to call us anytime :) it was awesome :) we saw sister gove and then went with the youth and did service at some less actives house doing yard work!!!
Thursday we went and had a lesson with just Arnez! linda was at the doctors and then we went to the food pantry!!! :) then after that is when we went and saw the horse lady penny! and then we went and had dinner and then had book of mormon class with the elders and sister doyle! It was an interesting one... but good... we read 1 Nephi 3!!! :)
Friday we were just doing weekly planning...then we got the news that transfer calls would be that night... so we were freaking out...ate some ice cream and worked on our awesome game.... oh here's a the jist of transfer calls..
so on the last saturday of the transfer so week 6... we get transfer calls... so friday we're sitting around doing our weekly planning just wishing we knew what was gonna happen..and then we get a voicemail from the assistants and i jokingly said watch transfer calls are gonna be tonight... and they say "transfer calls are going to be tonight..." WHAT?!?!?! oh manny.... so then of course we're freaking out and can't focus the rest of the day... (it had to be friday cuz saturday the concord zone was having stake conf) so we went to the dyers and we tried to keep our minds off of it! then we were going home and we looked at our phone and we had a missed call from Assistant 2... at 8:14!!! what the heck!!! i thought it started at 9:00.... so we're driving home.. calling the elders, and the other elders and sisters in our district... hearing about who got calls.. (elder shupe, elder whitehead and elder hudson are all getting transferred) and then we were just driving home...being patient...running through all the possibilities of what was gonna happen..... so we get home... called the assistants back and they gave us the news! sister welch is staying and sister tait you're being transferred......." :O :( :( :( so then we called everyone and told them the news... :( then saturday the zone leaders give us a call and that's when they tell us our travel plans! So they said that we are going to drive our car to the Augusta chapel and arrive at 6:40 tomorrow morning and then sister welch's companion will get out of the oxford car and sister tait will get in the oxford ride and go to manchester to transfer meeting!!! so pretty much then we had it all figured out that sister may would be coming to damariscotta! and then when we talked to the sister training leaders it was confirmed... so sister may is coming here! and I don't know where in the world (well mission so just where in new england...) i'm going!!! so tomorrow i'll know...but you'll have to wait til next monday...!!! :O
so we went to the dyers for dinner and then walked to the pond again and took lots of pictures! then sunday we went to church and it was branch council!!! Us and the elders sang "Called To Serve" and it was so awesome :) and with the third verse!!! :) "Called to serve the people of new england, with the gospel of our loving God, teaching preaching unto true repentance, holding to the iron rod..." :D ahhhh! it was just great and then President Quinlan asked me to bear my testimony!! and then we had gospel principles and then primary!! ahhh!! i just love the Damariscotta branch!! :) then it was linger longer!!! so that was wicked fun :) and then we went and did some see ya laters!!! so hard :( but it's okay!!! remember!!! it's not goodbye, just see ya later :) sooooo!!! this is the worst. i hate packing and i hate see ya laters... but! it's gonna be good! new adventures and more people to love!!!! :) <3 hope you all have a great week!!! love you lots!!! :)
