Tuesday we went to Footprints the food pantry and we did service! We helped them restock and get ready for wednesday - the day that all the people come and get food! The volunteers there are so awesome and so funny! They are so used to the elders being there that sometimes they forget and will say "Elder Tait!" haha! some of them were asking if they could just call us elderettes! haha :) Then we came home and had our studies! then we had mormon.org time! then that night we had a lesson with Amadou and Mary came with us! It was kinda a interesting lesson because all of his roommates were coming in and out and the tv was on in the other room and it was just hard to teach... then his girlfriend showed up and they both said they wanted to come to church on sunday! so that was really good! but he had to work so they didn't end up coming :( then mary took us to orange leaf and we got frozen yogurt!! :)
Wednesday we had district meeting because all the mission leadership had a meeting on thursday so it got switched to wednesday this week! Then we came home and went to bingo! so much fun :) haha i love all the old ladies there! After that we walked to a farmer's market and then the elders picked us up and we went to the church and had coordination with brother hafen! And then after that sister hafen went with us to see a less active sister and that went really well!
Thursday we tried to see a few less actives in the morning but they weren't home so we just left sticky notes on their doors! and then we had lunch... and some people came over to work on our disgusting bathroom and so we sat outside for a little bit and just read ensigns! ...and we didn't even think about wearing sunscreen....then came in a realized that we got a little sunburned... oops...yeah we're fried to a crisp! we look like lobsters! haha... then went to York which just happens to be real close to the beach and Nubble lighthouse! so while we were trying to find where some members lived we took some pics and then we went and saw the Kills! we just were going to introduce ourselves and get to know them and then they fed us dinner! :)
Friday we did weekly planning and then it was a pretty crazy day we went to the hafen's with the elders and we had to do some coordinating and figuring stuff out because the elders were gonna be gone the next day! So that was crazy! And we had dinner with the Hafens they are just so wonderful!! :)
Saturday we went to the church and helped with the ward cleanup around the building and pulled weeds and put mulch down! it looks really good now! :) and then we had a bbq! :) then we went and saw the mondors! then saw larry another less active! then we went and got frozen yogurt because we felt we deserved it after all the craziness that's been happening ;) haha and then we went over to mary's house and just visited with her and her daughter mandy! We had cupcakes and then the ice cream man came :) and we got to see her cute little kittens :)
Then sunday we went to ward council, then church! So we're sitting there after sacrament meeting talking to all the different people, trying to get to know everyone and brother hafen is talking to this girl so we go over and talk to her too! her name is Tori and she said she's been exploring and learning about the church for a few months and really likes it so she decided to come check it out! :D she lives in north hampton which is in the exeter ward and said she's been there twice but that portsmouth is closer for her to come to! So she just came!! how cool is that?!?! she came to gospel principles with us and we tried to see if we could meet with her this week but she is a preschool teacher and is going to school too so she's really busy... but she said she'll be back next sunday! :D So that was pretty awesome!!!!!!! After church we met with Brother Hafen and went over the ward list with him and talked about who is active and who is less active and who we should focus on trying to go see... We have a huge list so that should keep us busy for a while!! After that we had time to do our personal study then we went to the Hafen's for dinner and then went with them to the Vallincourts for dessert and sister farwell and her husband came too! So that was good! :) and pretty much that was our week!!!!!!!!!! crazy things going on!! we've got a really busy week!!! Especially now that we are covering two areas! So it should be exciting!! hope you all have a wonderful week!!! love you so much!!! :)
