June 27th - July 4th
First of all, to all those who didn't receive my new address, it's 93 Gillette street wilder Vermont 05088 p.o box 461 and the new mission office is 105 Windsong Avenue Manchester, new Hampshire 03104 been lots of changes! And only more to come!
Monday - Today was a wild day! We had a picnic play day at a park in Orford! We where there all day playing games! Awesome! Afterwords we went to the church to Email and then the wifi didn't work so the Ascutney Elders came over the last couple hours and we hung out and e mailed together at home. Later, we went to the Browns. When we got there, they had cancelled on us. So we tried to do a couple other finding activities and they all failed. Not a good start to the week!
Tuesday - Well before I share what we did today, I want to share that later tonight, the Blairs get here!! How exciting!! Tomorrow, Elder Rasband with set them apart (a blessing he gives them)as our new mission presidents and the Stokers will go home :( it will be good, they are called of God and they will bring positive vibes to the mission, I'm excited to get to know them the next year and a half! Anywho, we had a great lesson with Shannon about the gospel of Jesus Christ, it was awesome! She completely felt the spirit. She shared a story of her prayer last night and the comfort of the spirit and the love she felt, brought us all into some tears. Amazing! We went and pranked the Lebanon Elders haha we turned off the power, flipped some chairs, ate some food and put a couch on their desk. Funny stuff!! Later, we had a lesson with Chris, read out of the Book of Mormon and headed home for lunch. Afterwords we walked to the Mohns which took a long time. After we got there we shared a message in forgiveness which was awesome, we really felt the spirit teach all of us. Afterwords we went home and had dinner and called it a night. The Lebanon Elders called and asked if we knew anything, so we harassed them in the phone for a while and had a great laugh. Love them!
Wednesday - President Blair is now in charge of the New Hampshire Manchester mission. We get to meet him next week!! Can't wait! It feels strange.. But Elder Rasband told us that no matter what happens, we have room to love 2 sets of mission presidents, I sustain them and I'll be the best missionary I can for them and the Lord! Now on with our day, we had district meeting talking about companion unity, then we served at the haven which is a food pantry deal, then we came home and had a few things to eat before we went and saw people. We first went and saw Jon Zimmer, who we are working with to go to the temple. He's cool, kinda odd and quiet, but had some cool stories. After that, because it was so late, we went home and had dinner and called it a night. We aren't feeling to good, allergies are hitting us like a truck.
Thursday - So today we went and did service at the museum again, and I died without my allergy stuff. So after that we taught Shannon and it was amazing! She totally lives the word of wisdom!( the word of wisdom is a health code set up by the Lord for us to live by. It was given to Joseph Smith and is in the Doctrine and Covenants, [a book of scripture]) It was fabulous. After we had lunch then went to have dinner at 99 with brother Sunhalter, we sat and talked for a while! He's a awesome guy! Later we had a lesson with the Browns and it went great! I loved them! Anyway, not much else happened
Friday - Today was mostly planning. We went to Denny's with the Lebanon elders because it's Denny Friday, loved it! Always nice to unwind and have some laughs. Then we came home and pretty much planned until we had to go to Dartmouth hospital and give a blessing. Dartmouth is still distracting as always (so many girls)haha but I'm working through it!
Saturday - Today was not a good day. We studied then Elder Timothy had to do a baptism interview in Ascutney, after that we went to Burger King and I felt like crap :( I don't usually eat out at places like that, but I felt horrible, so we went home. My allergies are getting absolutely insane and now I think I have a cold. Tomorrow is fast Sunday so we will see how it goes!! Praying for strength!! Summer's always hard for me, only a few more months until winter again!! Stoked! I want a winter that will scare me because last years was pathetic, anywho, that's a wrap for the day.
Sunday - Today we had a good Sabbath. It was patriotic, people made fun of me for being from Seattle #Seahawks haha so much political talk, drove me nuts. Anyway, I fasted for a lot of things, lots. My prayer to start my fast was about 30 min long in Spanish and English, amazing. I can definitely feel my fast being answered. I love second hour, talking about the characteristics of Christ, then 3rd hour talking about sacrifices. When we came home we studied for a while then we went to the Jaretts, where we had waffles and eggs and played with their kids. It was awesome! This little daughter Amelia got me to ware a tiara haha and I took pics mom. Anywho, we then came to give the sacrament to a member from the Rutland branch because she is in the Dartmouth Hospital for her body not releasing fluids. So, craziness.
This week was tough. Elder Timothy let me send the numbers to the zone leaders and we didn't do to well. So this week were gonna power it out! We have a baptism in a week, we need to get more flowing so pray for us! Love you all! Thank you for keeping me posted on what's going on!
My fav scripture this week is 1 Nephi 3:7 "7 Y sucedió que yo, Nefi, dije a mi padre: Iré y haré lo que el Señor ha mandado, porque sé que él nunca da mandamientos a los hijos de los hombres sin prepararles una vía para que cumplan lo que les ha mandado."
For those that don't speak the celestial language haha here's English
"7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."
I know that through anyone's hard struggles in life, it's because the Savior loves us. It's a lot like how a parent lets there kid sometimes go through a hard moment, to help them learn and to grow. I know that the trials we are given, there is always a way through. So don't give up, keep going. Because you have to many people in your corner cheering you on!
Have a fabulous week!! And a awesome 'Merica day! I know I will!!
