Hi

Just Chillin'

Sept 26th - Oct 3rd


Monday - We didn't really do much for p day, but we had a dinner with brother Roderick at a Japanese steakhouse with a habatchi grill table. WAY COOL! It was really entertaining haha after, we went to Vince Williams to say hi and meet his kids.


Tuesday - We had a power hour and we went tracting down by Hanover. We met a dude named Hunter who was really interested in the gospel, We taught the restoration and he was interested in learning more, so we got his info and are planning to see him next week. We then tracted into a guy straight outta Japan. Speaks no English, read my Spanish name tag and probably said what the heck. We left a English pamphlet with him and left. haha Then we went to go to the Kings. Sister Kings father is from Guatemala and we shared a message in Spanish and headed off with some dinner and called it a day. The Ascutney elders came for exchange after we spend dinner at 5 Guys.


Wednesday - Elder Thorpe and I headed to Matt's house, Matt is a new investigator and we taught the plan of salvation. Elder Thorpe is. Greenie! He has only 2 weeks in the field!! Lol, so weird having a fresh MTC trainee as a companion, it was way fun tho! We went to Woodsville and tried to contact a referral named Deb. Deb said to come back next Tuesday so we planned that and moved on. I talked to a guy that had a rocking, 2012 ZR1 Corvette and he took a book of Mormon and said to try him next week. We then went walking around, hopping to find people, which we didn't haha but we took some sweet pictures of the view we had and we headed off to the Brigham's. They are doing awesome, they spoiled elder Thorpe and we all had a wonderful time there. Then we went into Bradford and taught sister Bailey, which was kinda.. odd today, but after we where going to go see more, but I didn't plan in 12 Week.(a new missionary guide). so we went home and did that and I did language study and we called it a day. Way cool experience.


Thursday - we had Zone Interviews all day. The interview went great, short, sweet, simple and we moved to Zone Meeting. We exercised how to have better unity with members and how to interact like normal people haha it was awesome. Later, we traveled home with Ascutney.


Friday - after weekly planning all we did is go and find, we tried seeing potentials but none worked out. We did however get to see Rosío. We gave her El plan de salvación pamphlet and continued to walk, but no luck sadly.

Saturday/Sunday - we had the wonderful opportunity to watch conference in the chapel. I love the leaders of the church, so inspired and dedicated to our work. That's really all we did this last few days, but i love how it was mostly centered around prayer. Prayer is so important for anything, when I shook Elder Rasbands hand at our mission conference a few months ago,  he told us we where 1 hand shake away from the prophet. When I was listening to a talk about prayer, we are 1 simple, innocent prayer away from our Heavenly Father. I think that was an eye opener, not so much the importance of prayer, but how close he really is to us. We really have no clue how close he is. He loves us, he knows us and he wants us to be happy. That's why we have the commandments and the other rules as a guideline, not to restrain us, but to show us the way to pure, godly joy in this earth life. 

Love you all, stay fresh, hope to talk to you all soon!

Con mucho amor deElder Vogel
