So I usually remember to bring my planner with me when we do emails so I can look back on the week and remember what we did every day... but we were so excited to get over here that I forgot it... oops... so we'll just have to see how good my memory is... haha... anyways.... it's been a really good week! I don't know why we don't get to Skype for Father's Day... pffft! lame... but I hope you all had a wonderful father's day! here's a super amazing Mormon message that you all should watch!!! It's one of my very favorites!!!!!!!!! http://www.mormonchannel.org/video/mormon-messages?v=2119328537001
sooooooo good! you'll love it too :) anyways...go watch it :) so last Monday we just decided to do some more exploring and we walked around downtown Portsmouth! We got some ice cream :) and then just walked around and went in some of the stores! It was super fun! then we went to family home evening at sister Whitney's house that night and a few other families came and we had dinner and then we watched that Mormon message for the lesson :)
Tuesday we went to food pantry and did service there! then we went to the Regans for a bit and then they took us out to get ice cream! and then we went to the Kills for dinner! yup...dessert first :) haha! Then the sister training leaders came to our house and we had an exchange meeting and then I went to Exeter with Sister Sowards...my mission mama!!!!! :D and Sister Brown stayed in Kittery with Sister Fuller! I got to go with my trainer and Sister Brown was with her trainer!! :D so cool :) haha it was so much fun!! Wednesday we went to a food pantry so that was super fun! then we went and read the book of Mormon with their 90 year old investigator Alice!! she is so cute! And she loves Moxie! It's this weird soda that everyone out here loves! Well some people say it's wicked good and then some people say it's nasty and I've heard all sorts of things about it... but she couldn't believe I hadn't tried it yet! so before we could read she had us go get a can and I had to try it!! haha! she is adorable! and guess what... I was actually pleasantly surprised... it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! haha! then we read the book of Mormon with her and then we went and tried to see some less actives.. then we had a lesson with another investigator... and we met outside! genius idea right?! it was such a nice night! ....yeah....bad idea...all the mosquitos were out! haha...we had a good lesson and then went home and everything was fine we didn't think we had any bites! and then the next morning I wake up scratching my legs.... so we counted... 76 mosquito bites!!!!!!! ridiculous!!! 41 on one leg and 35 on the other.... oh manny... so itchy!!!! it was a rough couple of days....haha but they're doing much better now! It was soooooo much fun to be with Sister Sowards!! We had a blast just reminiscing and talking about the good old days ;) and just talking about how crazy it is how time flies!!! :O so weird!!! but yeah it was so much fun!! I just love her!!! :)
Thursday we had district meeting and then district lunch! We went to Las Olas a Mexican restaurant and it was delicious...but we forgot to take a picture...fail.... :P we'll have to take some today because it's district pday!! we are having an Olympic sports competition so all the companionships had to come up with something to do...we're bringing hula hoops :) haha! after lunch we went and taught Brenda with sister hafen! Then....I can't remember what we did after that.... but we probably ate dinner and did some other missionary stuff.... :)
Friday we did weekly planning and then we had a lesson with Robert! Sister Reeve came with us and was so awesome!!! We got to hear all about her conversion story and she was able to really relate to him and we invited him to be baptized! He is going to cut down on cigarettes every day and be done smoking in July and then his date is July 19!! So we're working towards that with him!!! :) Then sister reeve took us out for ice cream :) I love that everyone just knows how much I love ice cream :) hahaha! it's really great! and they're so kind in helping me with my goal to make it to every ice cream place in the area!!! :D haha! it'll happen! :)
Saturday we had to go get our car inspected! And then after that was done we went to the Regans and raked leaves! Then we came back home and changed and then went and saw Larry with Mary!! :) haha! then we went to the Keele's for dinner! :) And then we just walked around Portsmouth and did some street contacting! Saw the pirate ships and took some cool pictures of the sunset!! It's so pretty here!!!! ahhhh! I love it!! :)
Sunday we had ward council and then church!! not sure where Robert was...but Tori was there again and we got her number and gave her ours!! :) so that was pretty cool! and then the Gray's brought their friend Steve and he stayed the whole time! After church we had lunch and we just sat outside in the sunshine for a bit and talked to our next door neighbor Clifford! He's pretty cool he lets us borrow his lawn chairs and just loves to talk! haha :) then we went and saw a bunch of less active single ladies! We went to find a few and met them for the first time and they were super welcoming and let us right in! It was so refreshing! haha one of them asked if we could schedule a time to come back! So we'll get to see sister Bock every week hopefully now and she wants to start coming back! :) then we went and had dinner with the Smiths! They're such a cute family :) and then we came home did our studies and went to bed! and I think that's all we did this week!! Hope you all have a wonderful week!!! LOVE YOU LOTS!!!! :)
