Tuesday morning we drove to Epping and picked up our new companion! Sister Kotter :) oh manny! I am so grateful for both of my companions! They are seriously so amazing!! So we drove back to kittery and just dropped off her stuff and then we went over to the food pantry for a little bit to help them there! They were excited to have three of us now! :) Then we came back and did our studies and prepared for our lesson with Tori! It's an adjustment figuring out how to teach with three and how to make sure we can all have part in the lesson but we're getting the hang of it :) We had an amazing lesson with Tori and talked about the commandments! We were all able to bear testimony of the Atonement and how we can repent and be forgiven when we make a mistake. That's something that I've really been thinking about lately. I love thinking how God is unchanging. He will always love us, no matter what we do or how many times we slip up or even when we're just not doing our best. He gives us weakness to humble us and to teach us so that we can grow and become stronger. So God is unchanging, but we as humans are able to change. We have agency and can make choices. We can become better and choose to make those changes that will bring us closer to Him and help us to become more like He is. I am so grateful for the Atonement and for that knowledge that we can change.
When we were preparing for the lesson we knelt down together and prayed to know of a date that we should extend for her to be baptized. We all felt that November 22 would be good...coming up soon but we have faith that it will happen!! So we talked about it with her and we are on track for the 22!! :D We were able to have a lesson with her yesterday also and just went over the interview questions and asked if she had any other questions and she just said "nope, I'm ready!" :) ahhh! she's so ready! :) After her lesson we all went to the relief society activity and made cute gingerbread displays!
Wednesday we had district meeting with our new district! We went and did bingo and then we went to try and contact a referral but the address didn't even exist! so that was a fun adventure! Some members brought us pizza for dinner :) and then worked on some remodeling in our apartment, starting with the kitchen! It's coming along nicely :)
Thursday started our social media split weekend so we were working a lot with members to "flood the earth"! :) We went and saw sister bromfield and read with her! and then we visited sister bush and practiced teaching the restoration! first time in our trio! :) and then we went and saw sister curtis and practiced with her! :) Then we went to Mary's for dinner and she found out that it was President Uchtdorf's birthday so we had cake and ice cream and sang happy birthday :) and we read one of his talks :)
Friday we had a great lesson with Steve!! It's been forever since we've met with him but we were able to have a lesson about the priesthood and he just had lots of great questions that were so perfect and then he just goes and says "so i've been thinking I could get baptized sometime in the beginning of December....would that be okay?" ummmmm yes!! :D So we are working towards December 6 with him! :) We went and visited the Hafens and then the Milletts and then went to the Regans for dinner! After that we went with Sister Reeve the relief society president and tried to see some sisters in the ward!
Saturday we had one of the laurels Markazie come make cookies with us and we made gratitude jars and started them off and then delivered them to a few less actives and invited them to add more to the jar! :) We were able to get in with one sister Amber that we haven't really even met before and had a really good visit with her! Then we went to UNH and visited Tianna and Katie! and then we had dinner with the Vaillincourts!
Sunday we had our lesson with Tori and then church and then went on more splits with the laurels! Georgia came with us to visit the Foggs and then Kennon came and we saw Sister Bock! haha so that was fun having four of us! :) then we went and saw sister seamons and had dinner with the Belangers! Lots of great things happening and we've got another great week ahead of us!! :) LOVE YOU!!!
