So...Last week for pday we went to the Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse with Marsha and Helmar! That was really fun! It was the last day they were opened for tours and Marsha and Helmar found out about it and invited us to go! We even saw Santa there! haha so that was our adventure for the day! and then we went and walked around downtown Portsmouth for a bit! Then went to FHE and it was just a small group - us, Sister Whitney, Bishop and Sister Mitchell! We were in charge of the lesson and we taught the restoration with jenga! Oh and we also got to have a delicious new england treat! ice cream with maple syrup for dessert :) yum!
Tuesday Marsha and Helmar took us out to breakfast and then we all went to the food pantry and helped out there! Then we had lunch and our studies and mormon.org time and then we went and saw Brenda! :) and then we went and had dinner with the Caspers!
Wednesday we had district meeting and then went to Orange Leaf with Sister Kotter and Sister Bateman! And then we did bingo and then did a little bit of street contacting! We're really trying to work on the quality and not just the quantity now of our itls and focusing on trying to figure out how to get people to want to stop and talk to us! It's a little tricky...but we're getting there! After that we were going to see some less actives but they cancelled and instead Marsha and Helmar invited us to go to a celebration they were having at their Jewish temple! They read the torah every year and then when they finish they have a party so that was pretty interesting to go and see! Lots of people there came up and talked to us and there was one lady that said she had neighbors that were Mormon and they talk about religion all the time so she thought it was really cool that we came and it made her want to invite her friend to a jewish service and then she'll go to a sacrament meeting! :) so that would be cool!
Thursday we went and saw Sister Bock and we started reading the Book of Mormon with her! Back to the very beginning! we read the introduction and the testimonies and she really thought it was neat how it had the testimony of Joseph Smith! she didn't know it was in there so that was neat to talk about with her! Then we tried to go and see Mathew but he wasn't home... we tried some other potentials around and then went and read the Book of Mormon with sister Bromfield! Then we had dinner with the Reeve's! And on the way there we tried to see some less actives and ended up right by the beach! so even though it was pouring rain we figured we were already wet from walking around...haha so we had to stop at the beach :D Then we hurried and dried off in the car and then went to dinner then we went and visited Mary!
Friday we did weekly planning and then we did some street contacting and had some good success talking with people! :) then we tried to see brother momna...it's been so long since we've seen him! but he's been sick...so that didn't work out... we tried some other less actives and people around there then went and had dinner with the Udy's! Then tried some member stop bys and saw Sister Caramagno and she hopefully has a friend that she wants to invite for dinner sometime that might be interested!
Saturday after our studies we decided to head out to do some street contacting and the weather was great when we left...we didn't get our jackets...or umbrellas...ooops! haha we made it into portsmouth over the bridge and then came the rain......... so we sat on a covered bench and tried to decided if it was going to stop...but it wasn't haha so we headed back home and made it back soaking wet..haha it's always an adventure in the rain! so then we got our rain coats and umbrellas and got in the car...tried to see some less actives...then went and tried some formers! They weren't really interested but then we were close by UNH and Katie goes to school there and is in the ward and she was just baptized two years ago so she's pretty new and still learning things so we are going over the lessons with her. It was fun to go and visit her though she took us to her art studio and showed us her art and then we taught the restoration and answered some of her questions and just had a fun time getting to know her more and researching different questions that came up in the scriptures together! It was really fun! :)
Sunday we had church and then we were going to teach Tori but she had to go help her mom jump start her car! So that didn't work out...she really wants to get baptized though so we are really trying to work everything out! It's all gonna work out...it always does in God's timing! :) Then we had coordination and then after that we had lunch real quick! then we ended up going to Vermont! They were having a fireside at the Joseph Smith Memorial and Sister Hall and Crystalline had a nonmember friend they wanted to bring so we all went! It was really neat! ahhhhh i just love it there! it's so pretty and so cool the spirit that is there! President Stoker spoke all about Joseph Smith and about the Book of Mormon and it was so good! She really enjoyed it! We might be able to teach her but she might be just outside the ward boundaries so we're trying to see if we might be able to teach her and then send the other sisters over that are closer to her! We'll see :) But anyways we had some fun things! still trying to find some more people to teach... they're out there...but we're at least planting those seeds!!! :) love you all!!
