Transfer craziness, Welcome Sister Duncan, 30 Invite to Learns, All Set..., Potentials, Becoming what He wants us to be...

Holy cow! What a crazy week!! We've done a lot and I wish I had more time to tell you everything!!! My new companion is Sister Duncan! She is so wonderful!!! She's from Ammon, Idaho and is seriously just an amazing missionary! I love her! :) 

Oh wait....so last monday I was still with Sister Beus! haha we had a crazy day running all around town trying to get everything she needed and packed and then went to fhe at sister whitney's! then we went home and finished cleaning/packing....and eventually went to bed....got a few hours of sleep then got up and headed to the Hafen's! Sister Hafen drove us to Manchester for transfer meeting and then all the craziness began! 

It was a huge transfer meeting!! 20 missionaries going home and 26 coming out and so many getting transferred all around the mission! They announced all the trainers and new missionaries and I met Sister Duncan! After transfer meeting we went back to the Hafen's and visited with them for a bit! Then we went and dropped off her luggage at home and then went and did some street contacting! There were some people throwing a frisbee and they threw it across the street to us and then we just went over and talked to them! We had a good conversation with them and talked about God and what they believed and they said they would check out mormon.org! After that it was back to the Hafens! :) We had dinner with them and Tianna and then a lesson about the plan of salvation! 

Wednesday we had district meeting with our whole new district! That was exciting! Then we did bingo with Marsha and Helmar and then we stopped by the Keele's to introduce Sister Duncan and had a good visit with them! :) Then we had a quick dinner at home and then went to young women's! They were going to Sister Bromfield's to clean so we went and helped there! Then we came home and did some 12 week study! 

Thursday we saw Sister Bock and then studied, then had lunch then went and did some street contacting and it went really well! We got 30 itls! :D We met some great people, but also got a lot of "all sets"! We decided to also add some more key indicators to the numbers that we keep track of...haha i can' remember how many "all sets" but there were quite a few... and we pet 5 dogs! haha :) Also when we were walking along there was a guy in a car that pulled over and said he had something for us! Turns out he was a member from Utah just visiting for work and he talked with us for a bit and gave us some money :O we told him we couldn't take it but he wouldn't let us not...haha we didn't know what to do but he said when he was on his mission that would happen and they were told to use it to help the work so he said to use it to help our missionary work or to do something fun! then he said just go get some ice cream! haha :) then he drove off and then turned around and stopped us again and gave us some macaroons! haha he was so nice! we were freaking out that that really happened! haha no one ever just stops us! it was a pretty great miracle! and everything after that just kept getting better and better! We went and saw brother momna and he was so funny! Thinking we had forgotten about him cuz it's been a while since we've seen him and he said he missed us! We were able to get in half of the plan of salvation and then listened to more of his stories :) then we saw the foggs and also tried a few other less actives! Then we went to sister whitney's house and had dinner with her!

Friday we did our weekly planning and had lunch then we did more street contacting! We didn't talk to as many people...but we found a golden potential investigator! The very first person we saw we talked to and we taught him a lot about what we believe! He said he's a recovering catholic and is trying to figure things out in his life and wants to know God....He said he thought it was funny that he ran into us... I told him that I didn't think it was just a coincidence and that there must be a reason that God put him in our path! It was really cool! His name is Mathew and I know that we met him for a reason and we even set up an appointment to teach him more this week! :) We gave him a Book of Mormon and shared with him Moroni's promise and he thought it was so neat and said he would read it! So that will be really cool to meet with him this week and hopefully start teaching him!! :) Then we went and did service for Sister Millett! We helped clean her house and played with her little girl for a bit :) that was super fun! Then had dinner with the Udy's and then went to Mary's and had a lesson with her and Sister Reeve about tithing! :) 

Saturday we went and had a lesson with the Keene's and then we saw Sister Bromfield, read the Book of Mormon with her, then we saw a few other less actives around there. We stopped by one named Robert and met his friend Maria who invited us right in, gave us apple pie and then we taught them both the restoration! He said he's thought about coming back to church so maybe we can get him back! Then we did some street contacting, visited some members and then went to the Keele's for a potluck before the General Women's Meeting! then went to the church for that and it was sooooo good! :) I loved it and loved how they talked so much about the temple! I can't wait to go back to the temple! and I loved how they talked about our potential and knowing that we are truly Sons and Daughters of God. That never changes. He knows us, and loves us and He knows what we can become!! Someone pointed out to us once how you never would write God or Heavenly Father, or Jesus Christ lower case... and that's the same for Sons and Daughters of God. I know that we are His children, Sons and Daughters of a King! So amazing to think about and all that He has in store for us! It helps so much and thinking more about that has helped me so much especially this week feeling so inadequate training a new missionary! That quote "God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called" is meaning even more to me! But I know that He sees our full potential and can help us to become so much more than we could ever imagine! :) 

Sunday we had church and then had a great lesson with Tori! She said the closing prayer and it was so amazing and sincere and she is just so prepared and ready to be baptized! She said she wanted so badly to get up and bear her testimony but didn't think she was supposed to! but luckily now she knows she can even before she's baptized :) After that we had coordination then we went and saw some members and then went and saw Brenda!!!!!!!!!!! :D She's finally back! :) So that was super exciting!! Then we went and had dinner with the Hafen's! So it's been a great week!

oh and i have a quick quote! "It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we put our trust in Him, if we pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." - Gordon B. Hinckley :) 

I know that God does hear our prayers! He is always there for us, He's only a prayer away :) and if we just trust Him it always works out... I don't know why I ever even worry because I've seen that so many times...everything always works out...and God always puts us in the perfect place, with the perfect people so that we can learn and grow and become what He wants us to be. I love you all so much! Have a great week!! Ohhhh and have a super amazing weekend watching general conference!!! so excited!!!!!!!!! it's gonna be soo good :) love you!!! :)

Transfers, Curveball, Training and staying in Portsmouth, Hold to the rod, Conversion and the Book of Mormon...

Oh manny... well it turns out we were all wrong! haha all week I was going around thinking I was going to be transferred....so I was saying see ya later to everyone...and looks like I'm gonna be seeing them a lot sooner than later! I'm staying in Portsmouth!! :D and I'm going to train a brand new sister! Crazy!!!! It's been a crazy week! and the craziness doesn't end....haha today is kinda insane with all the packing and getting everything ready with sister beus leaving tomorrow morning! so i'll just try and tell you really fast about our week :) 

Last Monday we went and walked around Portsmouth for a bit, went to a few of the shops downtown and then had fhe at Sister Whitney's! 

Tuesday we went to the the food pantry and did service and then went and visited Sister Bock! Then we went street contacting for a little while and then had dinner with the Keele's! :) 

Wednesday we got to go to the food pantry again since zone conference was on Thursday! We had fun there and then everyone was sad that I was going to be leaving...we took pictures and everything! said see ya later and then went and did bingo! Then we did some street contacting and later went to activity days! 

Thursday was zone conference! We went to Exeter and Elder Larry Y. Wilson of the seventy and his wife came and spoke to us! The whole thing was all about the Book of Mormon and how it is the most powerful tool in conversion! It was a great meeting! maybe another time i'll be able to tell you more about all that we talked about there.... We talked about 1 Nephi 1 and how cool it is that it has all the points of the first lesson the restoration in it! coincidence? I think not... hah... So that's pretty awesome! and we compared it to Joseph Smith History (the first vision and "Lehi's vision") Basically it was just an amazing zone conference and we are going to focus on using the Book of Mormon even more!! He had us get into our districts and make a "trailer" for 1 Nephi 3-5 to get people excited to read those chapters...and four of the districts got to present them/act it out...haha so we got to do ours and that was pretty exciting! It was pretty hilarious and awesome! And then we talked a lot about how we can use the book of Mormon more and how important it is that everyone is holding onto the iron rod and don't let go! Ahhh I just love the Book of Mormon :) Hold to the rod :) 

Friday we did weekly planning....and doing that I totally felt like I was leaving and sister beus was staying... anyways...we went and saw sister bromfield, stopped by the Bilodeau's and sister bilodeau was out in her garden and we asked if we could help and she said we could come back the next day :) Then we had dinner and a fhe lesson with Mary and Mandy :) so that was super fun! 

Saturday we went over to the Bilodeau's to help with the gardening! That helped to keep us busy and our minds off of what was coming that night...transfer calls.... we had lunch with them and then when we were leaving I looked at the phone and there was a missed call from President Stoker.... uh oh..... so we drove home....and we were freaking out! thinking of all the possibilities and what was gonna happen because we knew our transfer call was coming early! I even said "how funny would it be after all week i'm going around saying see ya to everyone and then what if I don't get transferred.... nah...that's not gonna happen..." but I kept thinking it! haha so it was an option.... we got home, called President and he said he was doing some calls early and then he told us! "Sister Tait you are going to stay and train!" :O whaaaaaat?!!?!?! and said sister beus was going to be transferred! oh manny... we both accepted and then hung up the phone and started texting and calling everyone... we were kinda confused for a second because it was not what we were expecting! haha but I know that even though Heavenly Father throws curve balls at us, or we may be confused, I know that everything always works out according to His will! It was perfect because that day in my Book of Mormon reading I was in Words of Mormon and I love verse 7 that says "And I do this for a wise purpose; for thus it whispereth me, according to the workings of the Spirit of the Lord which is in me. And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will." I love this scripture!!! I do not know all things, and things don't always go the way I think they will or should...but it's always for a wise purpose...Heavenly Father has a plan and He always knows what's best! :) So after finding out the news we've just been going crazy! haha running around visiting lots of members, packing... 

church yesterday - We had lunch with the Caspers, then dessert at the Keele's and then went to the Hafen's! now we're just finishing up emails and then getting sister beus all packed and ready for tomorrow! I can't believe i'm staying!!! and I'm so excited to train! wowowowowowowowowow! haha so crazy! can't wait to meet my new little "daughter"! :) anyways...sorry I didn't really get to tell you that much about everything we did...maybe later...haha so much to do... so little time!!!!!! I hope you all have a great week! LOVE YOU LOTS!! :)

Sister Tait

District Olympic Pday, Exchanges, New Fridge, Planting Seeds & my new favorite quote...

Well...here we go...last week of the transfer! this may or may not be my last week in Portsmouth! We'll see what happens....... transfer calls are this Saturday!!! :O ahhhhhh!! can't believe it's week 6! This past week has been pretty awesome!!! Lots of miracles and great things have been happening!! :) So last Monday we had district pday so we all went to Exeter and had District Olympics again! We decided that everyone must have come up with their games on fast sunday...because basically all of them involved food... :P haha we did the skittles game, "face the oreo" where you have to get the oreo from your forehead to your mouth, face stuffer - eating a whole box of Swedish rolls as a companionship...yeah right!, cheese toss...throwing cheetos at your companion covered in shaving cream, digging for gummy bears in whipped cream... and then there were some other ones that didn't involve food - cup staking, chair soccer, capture the flag, and ultimate frisbee! So we had a lot of fun! :) Then we went to Sister Whitney's and had fhe with a few different families in the ward! We have been working on really talking with everyone and inviting them to learn more... we call them ITL's (invite to learn) and our goal is to get 10 ITL's each day.... It's been hard sometimes but this week we were determined to do it! So we got home from fhe and we only had about a half hour before we needed to be in.... but we hurried and walked over the bridge into Portsmouth! At first we were having a hard time even finding people that we could talk to! But we found some and then we had walked around downtown a bit and then it was time to turn back and we had only gotten 7 ITL's..... but we just said okay Heavenly Father, we want to get these 10 ITL's........ and then there was a guy that came out of a store that he was closing so we talked to him! and then the bridge was pretty empty but we were walking and then there was a couple walking along and we talked to them! Invited them all to visit Mormon.org and to learn more on there! It was awesome! The Lord always provides away! :) And even though not all of these people were interested, some of them just said they were "all set" and told us no, but we still tried and did our part to talk to the people that God placed in our path :) oh! wanna hear my new favorite quote? "You can count the seeds in an apple, but you can't count the apples in a seed." (thanks mom and dad for sending me this! it's too perfect!) :) You never know what's gonna happen with these people, but we just gotta plant the seeds! I really love that!

Tuesday we went to footprints and then after that we went to the church to practice the musical number with sister keele! Then we did some more street contacting and got 11 ITL's :) We met lots of different people again...there was one person we met Ethan who actually stopped and talked to us for a while! We basically taught him the whole restoration right there and answered some of his questions and then he told us what he believes! He doesn't think there should be set religion but he was going to the park to meditate and pray! We had a good conversation with him though! Then we had a quick dinner and then went to the church for the relief society activity! Sister Keele taught an awesome lesson and talked a lot about our potential and things that inspire us! So one of the things that she talked about that inspires her is music! So then we did the musical numbers :) It was a really great night!

Wednesday we had our last district meeting! This week we have zone conference and Elder Wilson of the seventy is coming! But we had a good last district meeting and then we went on exchanges and I stayed in Exeter with Sister Houston and Sister Beus and Sister Kotter went back to Portsmouth! :) We spent the rest of the day just trying to contact less actives and then visited with one less active and read the Book of Mormon with her! Then there was really nothing else to do so guess what we did? We went tracting! woo! We got two ITL's! So that was exciting! then we came home and had dinner! then the next day we went and taught their investigator Stacy the gospel of Jesus Christ and she committed to baptism! :) That was pretty much all we did that day on exchange, then had lunch and then went to Orange Leaf to exchange back! :) Then Sister Beus and I had to hurry home because we got a call that they had a new fridge for us! surprise! so when we pulled into our driveway there they were standing with a new fridge! we didn't even know we were getting a new fridge! haha so we had to run in and unload all our food and then they switched our fridge! now we have one that doesn't make alien sounds! haha then we went to Durham and stopped by and visited with Sister Smith! Then we had dinner with the Baca's! and then went to the Hafen's and had a lesson with Tiana! She is so cool! The elders found her at the beginning of this year, they were just street contacting and met Tiana! And she just said sure, they could teach her more! And then she got baptized in April! So there's proof that street contacting does work! Just gotta find those prepared people :)

Friday we did our weekly planning then did some street contacting and got 12 ITL's! Then we went and read the Book of Mormon with sister Bromfield! then had dinner with the Regans! :) and took a trip to the beach! It's starting to get a little chilly here :P we had to borrow a jacket to go out! Then Saturday just got worse! We had to turn the heater on in our apartment... oh manny.... the cold is comin! :/ But we had a good lesson with the Keenes and then just went and tried to contact some less actives out in York and stopped at Mount Agamenticus to take some pictures since we were so close! Then it started to rain...so we couldn't go see Brother Momna because we always just sit outside... so we went and saw the Foggs! then we were trying to find some other people to visit and went and saw Sister Seamons and she just got back from visiting her family in the Philippines so she gave us a bunch of snacks from there to try! then we came home and had dinner!

Sunday we had ward conference! It was really good! They talked a lot about our vision and knowing that we are children of God and sharing that with others and being missionaries! And the ward choir sang "Thy servants are prepared"! After church the sun came out so it was warm enough to make street contacting okay! So we did that for a little bit! then we went to the Hafen's for dinner with them and Victoria! And we had a lesson with her and invited her to be baptized! and she said yes!! She really wanted to do it before transfers... which meant this Saturday... but she has work :/ but we are planning on September 27!! So exciting!!! :) She is so amazing! Just showed up at church that one day in June and has been coming ever since! Everyone thought she was already a member! nope...but soon! :) So yeah...lots of good things are happening and it'll be another great week this week! Oh another thing that happened this week is that President Stoker has challenged all of us to stop wherever we are in the Book of Mormon and to start over...and to read it from cover to cover by next zone conference which is October 21 and take Moroni's promise again! So we had 42 days when he came up with this challenge! So it's about 12 pages a day! I just love reading the Book of Mormon! There's always so much to learn from it! I know that no matter how many times we've read it we can always learn from it and that as we take that promise to read, ponder, and sincerely pray about it that we can again receive the witness from the Holy Ghost that it is true! :) Hope you all have a wonderful week! Love you lots!!! :)

District Olympics and the view from Mount Agamenticus!

Zone meeting, Becoming more Christlike, Building a "ship", Working on our "to be" list as much as our "to do" list...

So last week after emails we did the usual....went grocery shopping, then went home and wrote some letters and then we were trying to find a place that we could do our laundry.... We decided to call the Regans and luckily they were home and said we could come over and do it! :) So we headed over to the Regans and did our laundry and then they invited us to have dinner with them! :) And when we're with the Regans that almost always means a trip to the beach... :D So we ate dinner, then went to the beach and walked around then came back and had ice cream and a little fhe lesson :) It was a great night! :) Tuesday we had zone meeting and interviews with President Stoker! That was awesome! In zone meeting we talked a lot about becoming Christlike! Preach My Gospel chapter 6 is all about Christlike Attributes and so we focused on this chapter. There were lots of good things that we talked about but we did an activity where each companionship read a story in the Book of Mormon like ours was 1 Nephi 17 and then we answered questions about how Nephi showed faith, or what he did that was Christlike and how it relates to us.... So, It was really awesome because this chapter talks about how Nephi was commanded to build a ship! So when I flipped open to read it I remembered there was a cool analogy to share relating to this. There's so many cool ways to relate the scriptures to our lives but I really like this one...... so Nephi was commanded to build a ship....and so are we! We are all commanded to build ships... relationships, friendships, companionships, discipleship, workmanship, worship.......... :D Isn't that cool?! So we talked about that and how Nephi was Christlike and showed so many Christlike attributes...he had faith and diligence and did the Lord's will. Then later after sharing about that I decided to study it more... so I looked in the dictionary and was looking more at what the suffix -ship means and it was just saying how it's a state, condition, quality; office, dignity, profession; art, skill; something showing, exhibiting, embodying a quality or state. interesting.......... so when it talked about quality it reminded me of Doctrine and Covenants 4 and how it talks about qualities that we need and how "faith, hope, charity, and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work" Okay so this is a bunch of random thoughts that are still running through my head and trying to make sense...haha but it made sense to me at least of how it all relates..... so a quote I love is "God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called" and that is so true! Of course none of us are perfect...but we are striving to become and it's a gradual process. So back to the ship... building a ship is a process... for Nephi and for us! So when we are commanded to build ships it involves these qualities or state of being which qualify us and help us to become! I love how the scriptures teach us that whenever the Lord commands us to do something He always provides a way for us to accomplish it! I just love Nephi's example of courage to go and do and such great faith to do whatever he was asked! In chapter 18 it talks about how Nephi prayed often to know what he should do and that the Lord showed him what he needed to do and how to build the ship. I know that we can turn to our Heavenly Father in prayer and He will help us to build our own ships! And as we work on these things and involve Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in the process then we can become more like them! God has more of a "to be" list for us than a "to do" list! :) I love that! It seems like there is always so much to do..... and of course there is! but we need to remember what God wants us to be! :) We just need to take those small steps every day that will help us in the process to become more Christlike! Anyway, there's a few of my thoughts about that... haha :)
So! also on Tuesday we went to the Hafen's and had dinner with them and then Victoria came over and also Tiana a recent convert who just came back for school and Katie who is here for school too! We watched a few Mormon messages with them and talked about the Book of Mormon! Tori said she wants to move forward so we are hopefully going to meet with her more and help her to get closer to baptism! :) She was able to come to all three hours of church yesterday which was great!

Wednesday we went to breakfast with Marsha and Helmar and then got to go to Footprints since we didn't have district meeting! :) That was really exciting! :) Then we did our studies and then later had dinner and then bible study! Thursday we went and had a lesson with sister bock and then tried to see a potential investigator Ralph who was taking the lessons in Somersworth but had a stroke and is in rehab in Portsmouth now but still wants to meet with missionaries! So hopefully we'll be able to see him this week because his schedule didn't work out this past week.... We went home and tried to figure out what else we could do and we decided to go see a less active named Belle.... so we drove to her house and knocked on the door... an old man answered and I asked if Belle was there... He couldn't hear very well so I had to yell it like three different times haha and then finally he said nope I'm Jim! So I said well I'm Sister Tait! and he said Come in and meet my wife! :D haha! well alrighty! So we went in and met his wife Nikki and she was really nice and said she goes to the Greek Orthodox church which is right across from our church! We asked if we could share a message and she said sure! So we taught the restoration and it went really well! :) Jim just sat and looked through the pamphlet himself since he can't really hear but she sat with us talked and she said she understands Greek better...so we said we could bring her a Greek Book of Mormon! :) They were super nice and said we could stop by anytime :) So on Saturday we stopped by and gave her the Book of Mormon! She didn't want to meet because she had visitors over but she said she would read it! So hopefully we can meet with her again and talk more about it :) After that we went to the Keele's to pick up some music so that I can play the piano for a musical number for Sister Keele's Relief Society lesson on Tuesday! Then they invited us for dinner :) So we had a great night with them!

Friday we did weekly planning outside because the weather was so perfect! :D and then we visited the Foggs for a little bit then went to the church to practice the songs, then had dinner with Mary and Mandy and FHE with them that Mary prepared about seeing others as Christ does :) It was awesome! Saturday we walked to Nikki's gave her the Book of Mormon, then we visited Janee a potential investigator and shared a message with her! Then we went to Sister Bromfield's and read the Book of Mormon! And then visited some other members that night! Sunday we had church and then practiced the songs with sister keele! She's singing and playing the cello while I play the piano :) And then after that we went and had coordination with Brother Hafen! then we went to the Millett's for dinner! Oh and we also saw Brother Momna! :) So it was a great day! And that was our week! :) Now we are off to our third transual district olypmics! haha should be fun!! :) Hope you all have a wonderful week!! LOVE YOU!! :)

Fall is on it's way, adventures, street contacting and looking for investigators, blood drive...

It's September!?!?!!! Ahhhhhh! So weird! Fall is on it's way....all the leaves are starting to change colors :O so pretty but it's freaking me out....haha but anyways we had a good last week of August! On Monday we went on an adventure with Mary and Mandy! We went to a store called the Christmas Dove and they just have Christmas trees and ornaments all year! So that was fun to look at! Our favorite was the ice cream ornaments :) then we went to York and just looked around at all the tourist shops and then went to Sister Whitney's for FHE! Tuesday we went to footprints in the morning and then we went to Kittery Estates where we call bingo and they had a volunteer appreciation luncheon! So we went to that and got to have lunch with all the other volunteers and the old people that live there :) Then we did some street contacting later and found a few people to talk to! Wednesday we went to district meeting and had a good lesson about the Holy Ghost! Then we went out to eat for district lunch! Then we came back and did bingo! then we did some more street contacting even though it was super hot and humid! There were a few people out still and we talked to them and then came home and sat in front of the air conditioner for a little bit! then tried to see some less actives and then went to bible study and after that had dinner! Thursday we tried some less actives in the morning and then had lunch and then went over to Brenda's and had a lesson with her! We talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ and had a good discussion with her about lots of different things! :) We always get off on different tangents but have good discussions! She told us about how she was talking to her neighbor the other day and was telling her about the church! The lady asked her if she was a Mormon and Brenda said she told her no... and then she told us that she should have told her "no, not yet!" ......... :) Brenda is so awesome! :) she had us finish off the ice cream that was in her freezer because she was leaving for England! So we ate that and then talked some more and helped her pack up her suitcases :) Then we weren't quite sure what we were going to do the rest of the night... and then Brenda told us to go pick up some Chinese food... so we went and got some food and then we had dinner with her! :) It was a great night! not sure what we're gonna do for three weeks without her! We're sad that's she's gone but the missionaries over there are hopefully going to go see her! So that will be good :) So then on Friday we did our weekly planning and then we went to the church and were there pretty much all day! we had a blood drive again so we were in charge of the registration and just signed people in... I didn't pass out! ;) just couldn't watch the people... haha but Brother Hafen was able to talk to some people after they donated and then there was one guy that was pretty interested and we were able to give him a Book of Mormon! :) He said he would read it and let us know what he thought about it :) So hopefully we'll hear back from him! Saturday we had some miles saved up so we went way out to Lee! We went to find this less active which was 20 miles away....and got there and found out she had moved...haha awesome! but we stopped by some other members that live out there and then came all the way back and had a late lunch! then we went and saw Sister Fogg for a little bit :) and then went to Brother Momna's and had a nice visit with him :) Then we went and had dinner at Mary's and then Sister Reeve came over and we had another new member lesson this time was the gospel of Jesus Christ :) fun fun fun! Then on Sunday Tori came to church and then guess what?! Steve got to come!! :) that was awesome! and then we had choir practice and then we went and saw sister bromfield and read the Book of Mormon with her! Then we went to the Keele's for dinner and had a party for Marin's birthday! :) And now here we are on Monday again! and i'm running out of time...so! I hope you all have a great week! Love you all so much!!! :)
