Oct 3rd - Oct 10th
Monday - we had a pretty chill PDay, nothing to crazy, but we did however go tracting, then we called it a night. We did come in contact with a guy named Cierran, who is a hotel owner. He seems pretty interested and we set a time to see him next week.
Tuesday - we went up north and tried to see Deb Anderson, which she wasn't there sadly, all the way out in Woodsville.. we then went to the Brigham's and had a wonderful time seeing them and sharing a scripture. We then went to have lunch, then to see Nancy Hanger. We went to her bookstore in Bradford and had a very long conversation with someone in her store... who was kinda on the odd side haha but afterword, we went to try and find more people but had no luck. We then went to Vince Williams and had a great time seeing him and his sons! They are pretty awesome! I played guitar with him, we talked about his mission and shared a spiritual thought and made it in time to teach Sharon the Word of Wisdom again. She's so awesome, she's reading and praying despite of all this hardship.
After we had language study.
Wednesday/Thursday - after district meeting we went on exchanges in Laconia with the Zone Leaders Elder Birch and Summers. I was with Elder Birch, we went and saw some less actives, but no luck. After some talking, we went street contacting and ran into this dude who was listening to some music, we where able to talk to him and give him some encouragement and a Book of Mormon. He then said "thank you for talking to me, I really needed it"
On Thursday we went to see a investigator who was a no show, so we talked to sister Emmory, we shared a scripture and her granddaughter again, was flirting with me... winking and all that awakward stuff.. haha after, we went and saw Auto, who gave me a replica knife of the joker in the dark night rises and a butterfly knife! Awesome dude! After that we went to try and see some other potentials and formers, who where nice. We met a guy named Chandler, who's son is a farmer and loves Missionaries, so we chatted and got to know him a little better and left with a prayer and a new investigator! After, we talked some more and went to try and see some more people and we then headed back to Hanover.
Friday - we had a busy day full of planning and studies. We then went to Gladys's, who is from Buenos Aires Argentina and speaks no English... she is a Nanny and we met her boss and their family. It was fun, but my head got slaughtered. I was so lost and listening so hard, I totally missed when she asked me how old I was and if I was learning Spanish... I know those questions and how to respond to those, but I lost it, dang!! That's okay, the family was chill with us coming over and teaching the lessons in Spanish. I talked to the kids in Spanish, THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!!!! 8 and 6 year old girls, so nice! It was easy to talk to them because that's about where my Spanish is at lol. after my headache, we went to Jen Smiths and shared a message and called it a night, then we went to Camp Jospeh next to the JSM and listened to a discourse from Pres and sister Blair and the rest of the district was over and it was so much fun, we had some families show up and it was a nice activity.
Saturday - we went to Grantham and tried to see a potential the sisters gave us, the record says to have Hanover Elders contact, but she wasn't home. So huge waste of miles. After, we tried stopping by a lot of people, we saw Will Hillard and talked to him about his new project and offered to help with anything, then we left. We then met the Preston Family, who live in... not healthy circumstances.. and we offered to help stack their wood and they are chill with us coming and teaching them. Awesome! After we kept trying to find people but no luck. So we called it a day.
Sunday - it was a good fast Sunday. After, we went to the Shwarz's in Fairlee and we talked to them, they where so happy to see us! They love Missionaries. A less active family who want to try and progress more, awesome, we visited with them for a while then headed off to Hunters and we met his family and talked more about our beliefs and helped guide him to find out his answers on his own because we can't and won't do it for him. After that we had a crazy crazy dinner with the Zimnicks family. Then called it a night.
Sharing the love and praying for all of you, works moving, we see miracles!
Con mucho amor deElder Vogel
