Hey everyone!

This week was kinda of a rush and a blur all at once.
It started with a great PDay with the district at a restaurant called
Governors, and we had a huge desert challenge. We ate 3 of them,
pretty gross haha
We then, went home and I packed to be transferred down to Lincoln with
elders Collins and Lundell.
Elder Collins has been out for 6 months and is from Las Vegas, elder
Lundell has been out s month and a half and is from Utah, they both
are funny! I love them a lot! My new address is 320 Enfield RD Lincoln
ME

The work here in Lincoln is booming! Because of that, I don't remember
any lessons haha but we get outside and we work work work until the
days are done.
Someone we are teaching is Dawn Bonsoll again, she was in the hospital
when I first came out in Brewer, and she has a disease where her body
would lose the function to move. When I first taught her, she lost
from her hands and up to her shoulders.
Now that I'm back, almost a year and a half later, she has been making
huge recoveries! She can stand for a few minutes now, she can sit up,
she can move and it's wonderful to see her growth! She still wants to
be baptized, but we are planning for June for her to have enough
strength to do it.
We also have a place out in Milnockett, which is an hour away, and we
go stay with some members to save miles while we work out in that area.
 It's a cool deal.

We had a super solid lesson with a lady named Stephanie.
Before a dinner appointment we had decided to knock some doors and
give elder Lundell some practice.
We knocked on this door and said our normal approach, and she
said no, but I bore a little testimony and asked her if we can share
our unique message. And she said yes, so elder Lundell and elder
Collins got right on it and started teaching her! She was so into it,
she listened, she participated and she wants us to come back! It was
way awesome.

We also have had some crazy door knocks. We knocked this door and they
had 3 huge, massive dogs, and she opened the door and they got out!
Holy crap my heart dropped! We held still as they surrounded us and
trapped us at the door until her husband came home to get them.. scary
stuff..

We went over to the sushko's and sister sushko is from Columbia and
speaks Spanish! It was way awesome! Elder Collins and Lundell taught
her husband, who speaks English, and I taught sister Sushko because
she doesn't speak English! Weekly visits are happening.

We have been having so much fun tho, I can't write it all because new
rules in the mission makes it hard to put everything in a short amount
of time. But we love the work, I love being a trainer, and I love New
England!

Love you all, thanks for your prayers and support

Elder Vogel
