Jan 2nd - Jan 9th

What a crazy crazy week! Wow!

We taught Josh and Eric again, our less active and investigator and josh didn't come to church, but they both really want to stop smoking so they are working hard with that! It's way awesome!

We also saw a dude named Josh (theme here right ?) and he's one of those talking Mainers, they usually talk but this guy was BAD and he rolled and lit up 3 smokes in front of us 😂😂 go figure, whined and complained about the government, child hunger, and drugs, classic haha anyway, he was interesting.

We stopped by a Peruvian family, Blanca, José and José jr and best part, they speak little English!! It was awesome! I loved talking to them! Even though it wasn't to good, I still was able to share a message and I learned so much! Loved it!

We had a dinner with the Wilson clan, 8 kids! And it was seriously so much fun! I loved it, they made some lobster pasta, way awesome! Way good, I want more 😂 we shared about how even busy families can still learn from each other, it was great!


The weather sucks! It's below 10 degrees everyday, with a wind chill it's in the negatives, crazy gross.

I went on exchanges with Elder Miller in Belfast and we had an awesome time, we talked, we stopped by a few people and we had some awesome contacts!

A cool experience I had this week was with the Wilson family. I was talking to brother Wilson about his mission in Brazil and he told me about his trouble In the language and stuff like that, but he stayed who he was. As he spoke, he bore testimony about his family, his love for them and his undying desire to be the best father he can.

It honestly made me think of my family and the love I have for them. Seeing my friends go home and be with their families and keep going with their loved is special, even though I still have a while, my mission has really shown me just how important family really is. I guess I kinda took that for granted, but over the course of my mission, all those little things we did, trips, family home evening, even my parents example, I still remember those and they help me through my life.

Be an example, share your love, be the light of the world others need to see!

Love, Elder Vogel
