Hair cut day... its about time

May 30th - June 6th 

Monday - We got up bright and early for Memorial Day and we went to the Brentwood Cemetery to have a celebration for our veterans. It was awesome, we helped set up breakfast and we where in the pouring rain remembering the memories and stories of the wars and people fighting for our freedom. They got the guns out and did a black powder "praise the dead" and it was cool. We got to watch cub scouts get the flag ready and do the ceremony, a musical piece on the bag pipes and we talked with a guy about family history! Way awesome! Afterwords, we went to the Gish's and did our laundry. Which took the rest of PDay petty much, when we got there they where home for a bit then they took Meghan, Sam Gish's new fiancé, out to lunch before she goes home for the summer. So they left and we where there the whole day. After that, we went to the Shorelands for a Ward bbq, which was awesome! We talked with the Cavarettas, Sister Idell, Gishs, Wilsons, everyone! It was awesome to see people in a friendly and relaxed environment, we talked missions, the Ward, activities and shared funny stories and roasted marshmallows and made s'mores, it was a great night! 

Tuesday - Today we had coordination meeting with Chase that went very well and we where able to have a starting point with some less actives, get some names going and people to meet with. Later, we went to help chase get a few things and have lunch, which was bomb, afterwords we went to the Wolcots, for about 15 min, inside, ate, shared a message, prayed, left. They had baseball to go to, which was alright, we still had a great time and were able to share a couple things and bring the spirit. We came home and continued planning and studying. Quick day, also, it was 80 degrees and the girls from this prep school down the street here decide not to wear anything, coming out, we see a lot of skimpy outfits that make missionary work distracting, but we can do it! We just can't be in downtown haha 

Wednesday - Today in district meeting we talked about families. We discussed the family proclamation and we even got to share pictures of our family, share some stories and bare testimony of temples and sealing. It was awesome! I loved it, we are so focused on families I wanna go find a family to teach! Afterwords, we went and did some PDay shopping cuz we got money, not that we really needed anything but I needed some contact stuff and some nose spray. Other than that, that was it and we headed home to do some studies. Later we went to the Fox's and she made us some home made, from scratch ribs! Wow where they good! She home made everything, the rub, seasoning, bbq sauce, amazeballs!! The Mac and Cheese was fabulous, the fries where awesome, they are awesome and we talked and shared experiences about us as missionaries and the temple and being sealed as a family forever and they seemed way interested, so they are gonna start to work on getting sealed together forever! Amazing! I can't wait for that!! It was an awesome day, loved it!!


Thursday - So this morning we had to go to the dentist for another stage of elder Petersons crown which didn't take very long, afterwords we went and did planning and some shopping for a few things and also we had a dinner with the Jon family! They are from Jamaica and they are awesome! Older couple but still young in spirit! They loved having us over and the cool thing was that our talks we gave in church last Sunday really inspired brother Jon, he's on the high council and he has a talk to prepare for and he really loved both our talks and is going to use stuff from them! It was awesome! He said that because he liked our talks so much he invited us over! What a honor! I love that family! Hopefully we can get in and see them more often!!


Friday - Today was a busy day!! Holy smokes!! So here's how it started, we got up and I didn't feel great at all, so I prayed to feel better and I did through the day! We started with service at Zions camp, where, we met the new senior couple who's staying there for a while (Forgot there names) they are from Vermont, I think.. Or Maine... Anywho! We got to drive the Polaris buggies!! Those are super awesome! We moved fridges, stoves and towards the end, we went back and brother Westwood said I could ride the quad!!! SO I DID!!! It was so much fun being on that!! I may have gotten a little crazy, but no crashes or anything! It was so much fun flying through the dirt on it! Man I could do that forever! After service, we went straight to the food pantry and helped them, we are so loved by them, they gave us some food and since it was a easy day, they gave us some extra goodies, after that, we went home and showered because the quad made me dirty!! Worth it, I was so sore that I fell asleep for about an hour, then I get woken up by elder Peterson screaming "WE WHERE SUPPOSED TO BE AT SISTER SCOTT HALLS AN HOUR AGO YOU GOON!!" I was like when where we ? "AT 3, ITS NOW 4!!" So we rushed over there and bless her heart, she was sitting outside with some food for us, I love her haha she's awesome, after that we high tailed it back home and got dressed again and went to Stratham Hills Park, where we celebrated brother Cavarrettas birthday, we played whiffle ball, we had chili dogs, cake, about 60 or so people came, it was wild! In the distance, in Epping, two towns away we where listening to the Mellow Yellow NHRA Drag Races!! Everyone's coming to me and saying "you wanna go watch Elder Vogel?" And I'm like "HECK YES!!!!!" Kaylee showed me a video of a 6 second run, boy that was awesome! I felt like a school girl getting a text from her crush, I was super excited and really wanted to go! They are here this weekend and maybe, maybe, a member will take us, I'll pray but that wraps up our day! Fun filled, energetic, I felt great and I'm Having a blast here in Exeter!


Saturday - we had a wonderful dinner with the Sargeants! They are a funny couple! We got there and we where talking about less actives and stories about them and how we can better help them, then brother Sargeant spills the beans with Captain America!!! There's a new, dark, original comic book stuff revealed about him on BBC and how he's been a spy for hydra the whole time!! AWESOME!!! I didn't really like him anyway, Elder Peterson wast like "NOOOOOO!!!!" Because that his favorite super hero haha afterwords, we had awesome, homemade cafe rio and then we shared a spiritual thought then told more stories about home and bees and bugs and nastiness haha then we headed home! Awesome night!


Sunday - today was a good day. It was a spiritual fast and testimony meeting and we where also able to have a wonderful message on obedience. We also had a dinner at the Idells with the Lyles, and it was awesome! We had chili and We all shared stories, had a great time talking about our families and being able to share our experiences! It rained super hard, like big thunder storm deal, so we didn't do much, it was wet wet, like weather I would pull over in, and I'm a crazy driver so that gives a clue on how nasty it was outside haha but overall, good day!


Con amor de Elder Vogel
