August 22nd - August 29th

Sorry it's so late, missionaries are bad at tracking time.... I don't have long to e mail this week.

Monday - we had exchanges with Ascutney! I was with elder Lawrence. We walked, he talked, I talked to people, he talked more and we went to bed

Tuesday - Elder Lawrence and I went to Newbury and taught the Brigham's. Brother Brigham is done with his eye surgery and he is doing great! Later we went and tried to see Kent, but unfortunately... I slid the car and popped a tire... Oops! So we went to the VIP in Woodsville and got it fixed in about an hour and we hit the road again. We walked in Bradford and talked to some members and we where hunted down by a less active. We taught her, as much as we could, about the role of missionary work. Then later, we headed to the Knowltens and helped them move. We then ate dinner, then continued to help them move. They are a funny family! When I talk to Bro. Knowlten, it's like I'm talking to my dad, he's funny, he's sarcastic and quick on his feet haha we had a couple really good laughs. That really ended our day.

Wednesday - We had district meeting then we went and did some service at the haven where elder Espinoza and I where speaking Spanish and everyone's was getting upset because they can't understand us haha kinda funny. Then after we went and had a dinner with the Kings and Shannon where we taught the plan of salvation in Spanish (with Shannon not understanding a thing) haha but it was fun! We all laughed and had a amazing dinner.

Thursday - We went to try and find some new potentials and talk to old ones. We then had no luck so we went up to Thetford to see bishop. While we where going there, we where driving on a dirt road, under the speed limit, and we turned the car to hard, losing traction and slamming into a tree (Elder Espinoza was driving) so after we saw the very, minimal, but over 5300$ worth of damage, we had to go into Bradford to get an estimate, but they referred us to the one in white river junction, a 40min drive. So we went and got the total and then we had to park the car and walk. Unfortunately, everything else fell through and we felt bummed so we went inside and did studies and went to bed.


Friday - We got up and we went to the church to fill out and incident report for the church, so we did and at the end of it went back and had lunch and weekly planned. After that we went and tried to stop by Dakota who wasn't home and we stayed inside the rest of the night due to studies.

Saturday - we got up and went to help the Thomsons move, I love them! They are still gonna have us over for dinner even though they are in the other ward.. Lol, we then had studies and went to sister kennisons for a ice cream... Social... Thing ? Haha after that we went to the Foggs to teach Christian and it went very well! They gave us home made syrup, which is bomb, and pickles with onions, and I've never had better pickles. They are so good! We both were not a fan, but we ate the whole jar they gave us! Wow! Fresh cucumbers and everything. Amazing! After we went and talked to the brickles, a new family and we talked to Diana their daughter, who was smoking, we had a discussion about church. After, we went and taught the Browns, I love the Browns! They are doing awesome! Ashley came over and we talked with her a bit then it got late so we left, but I felt the spirit and I really loved being there.

Sunday - church was... Intense, really loud, messages where good for as much as you heard. Some people didn't have a good weekend and it showed, but that's okay. I enjoyed hanging out with the Dartmouth Football players haha pretty cool! We met a nice girl, her name is Rachel and she is a returned missionary of maybe 4 months ago. She is all for coming and teaching with us! Pretty cool! After we went and had lunch and studied, we then had a interesting meeting with a lady named Joan who I'm pretty sure is possessed, but that's okay, we prayed with her and had a good time. Later, we went and contacted Takeeta's husband who is not a member and is interested in the gospel because her parents just got sealed! After that we went to her parents house! Hermano y hermana Ramírez! They both are from Mexico and for some odd reason, I got so scared to talk to him!! Idk what it was, I forgot words and I choked and awe man it was bad! They are very helpful and really helped me be able to express what I wanted to say haha. we have an appointment with them next Sunday. They are the funniest people! They got sealed and hermana Ramírez was like "as of Friday you're stuck with me forever!!!" Hermano Ramírez portrayed the look of "oh snap" hahah! So funny!! But afterwords, my head hurt so so bad! But that's okay, it comes with learning!
