Transfer calls! Surprise!!, He is always there for us, By small and simple things...

Oh manny..... what a crazy week! And October went really fast! what the heck?! haha...I didn't even tell you that it was week 6 so transfer calls were saturday night because we weren't expecting a call...but I guess I might as well start out with telling you what's happening!! So we were sitting there doing our nightly planning when the phone rings and it was President Stoker! :O ahhhhhh! we were so confused and freaking out! haha...we answered and he said "this is a transfer call...but neither of you are getting transferred!" haha phew! :) But then he said that we were going to get another sister! There's too many sisters for areas in the mission right now! So we're gonna be a trio and guess who's coming?! Sister Kotter! haha! So it's gonna be a party for the next 6 weeks :) crazy!!!! now we're just trying to figure out how to fit the 3 of us in our little apartment...haha should be fun!

But anyway, last monday we had district pday and we went and carved pumpkins! super fun! And then we had fhe!

Tuesday we went to the food pantry and then we had lunch and studied and then we went and saw a less active sister. We taught the restoration, tried some formers and then we made crepes for dinner :) then we went and saw Mary and had a lesson with her and the Reeves!

Wednesday we went to district meeting and had district lunch! So our district is going to be switched around a little...but all the sisters will still be in it which is crazy! we'll just get another one with Sister Bateman and a new district and zone leader! should be exciting! After district meeting we went and did bingo! then we saw sister millet and we talked to her about the social media split we're doing this weekend! It was really cool she was telling us about how her daughter was being a missionary to her friends and how they have some people that they're working on! and then when we prayed as we were leaving she had another name come to mind and said she has a neighbor that has met with missionaries before! So she is going to talk to her and see if we might be able to teach her again! :) how awesome would that be!! We've been sharing Alma 37:6-7 with a lot of members lately and I really love these verses! by small and simple things are great things brought to pass! it's really just the little things that we do, and we may not even know the impact that they have but it can make a huge difference! I've definitely seen that! in missionary work, how it may just be a smile, or our example, or sharing your testimony, just something small - or in life just how those small things that we do each day reading just a few verses, praying, just the small acts of faith add up and strengthen us so much even if we don't recognize it!

On thursday we went and visited Sister Curtis and had a great conversation about this and she is doing great things to be a missionary in just he small and simple ways and making a huge impact in the lives of those around her! I'm so grateful for these great examples! We tried seeing some less actives in kittery and in york! so appartenly they've got it a little backwards here and everyone goes trick or treating on the 30th! haha so we weren't excatly sure what to do...we were driving around...tried some members but no one was home...and we thought about tracting...haha but then everyone would just think we were trick or treaters haha. We ended up going to a less active and knocked on the door and they brought us candy, then realized it was the missionaries...haha. They were nice and let us in though! We talked to them for a little bit, his girlfriend is not a member so we were hoping we might be able to teach her! She had a lot of questions, wondering why in the world we were out here and if we just knocked on doors all day so it was fun to explain to her why we are crazy and spent 18 months away from home sharing the gospel, haha. She said she respects us and thinks it's cool but wasn't very interested to learn more right now but said we could stop by anytime we needed a drink or a break....so we'll see about that :)

Friday was halloween! pretty uneventful...haha nobody was home!! we saw sister bromfield and she stocked us up on her leftover candy and we read a few chapters in the Book of Mormon! Then we tried lots of stop bys and then we had to be in at 5! and we did Halloweekly planning!! wooo! haha we made a cake too so that was exciting! haha :)

Saturday we were going to do service for sister helmacy doing yard work but it was raining!! we ended up still helping her make a craft for the singles break the fast dinner she was having! So we made little cornucopias out of waffle cones :) and then had lunch with her and sister sacks! :) then we went and had coordination with bro hafen! and then we saw some people in Durham - less actives and actives!

Sunday church! Guess what! Steve quit his job that's on sundays!!! so he came to church and we're gonna start meeting with him again and set a date for him to get baptized!!!! :D and Tori wasn't feeling very good but still really wanted to come to church! so she came for sacrament and she got up and bore her testimony!!! It was amazing!!! the spirit was so strong!! sister duncan and i just sat there all teary eyed! it was the greatest thing ever!! :) ahhhh!! she's gonna get baptized this transfer too!!! It's just gonna be an amazing transfer!!!

ahh i'm out of time...but i love this scripture.... 2 timothy 1:7 we just keep telling it to ourselves and it's so comforting :) "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." I know that He is always there for us and He will help us!!! Love you all!!! have a great week!! :)
