I forgot to tell you last week that pday is on a wednesday this week
because of transfers! sister auvigne and sister nowlon are both leaving
me to be STLs in different areas!! I am kinda stressed but I am excited
to meet my new companion, sister lefler. She won't get to amherst until
monday though so until then my companion will be sister seron. on thursday I will pick her up.
hmm
ok what happened this week. tony came to sacrament meeting and was able
to listen to everyone's testimonies and really enjoyed it. at first we
were so sad because he said he was going to come and then the meeting
started and he still wasn't there but then we heard the automatic doors
opening and we got so excited because we knew it was tony coming in with
his chair:)
We did fhe with the lee wens ( the family of 6)
and it was so much fun. everyone had to pick a name out of a jar and
that is who they are going to do secret acts of service for throughout
the week, then we played the squirt bottle game where someone stands in
the middle and thinks of a colour or something and then everyone has to
guess and if you guess right then you get squirted haha idk if it is an
actual game or just a game that we made up while we were growing up but
the kids loved it, i think they just liked squirting their siblings:)
so
a couple weeks ago we picked up annie as an investigaor but she has
officailly been dropped now haha i don't know if it was really us who
did the dropping or her, all i know is that we will not be going back to
her house. saturday
we went over and taught her a lesson on the porch, she brought out her
rat and then she invited us to come into her home and oh my i have never
smelt anything so bad. I just can't even describe how bad it was haha I
am just laughing looking back now, we were all just gagging and trying
not to let her see. after that fun tour we asked her if she'd come to
church with us and she said she wasn't sure yet so we told her we'd come
by in the morning. So sunday
morning came and we drove over to annies and knocked on the door, and
long story short she was not in the mood to come to church.... at all
haha i don't think annie is a morning person. monday
we decided to stop by again because we were a little concerned for her.
we knocked on her door, she didn't open it but she asked who it was and
we said the sisters, and then through out all the swearing we heard
something about calling the cops so we just kinda started running away
down the street haha it sounds bad but I promise it was funny. I just
wish you could all know annie:)
we had the
miramichi sisters and then the summerside sisters in amherst for
exchanges this past week and it was lots of fun. I love working with new
sisters and seeing how they are doing. I have learned a lot this past
transfer about what I need to do better as an STL and I am excited to
try out some new things. the mission has been struggling with finding
new investigators lately. We need to set higher expectations for
ourselves.
Happy early birthday dad!!!! This
is embarrassing but I forget how old you are turning haha i think it
might be 53... or maybe 54. good thing abby is around to keep you
young!:) I love you so much. thankyou for helping me get out here on my
mission and for teaching me to work hard. You are so patient and that is
something I am trying to work on and so I often think of you and what
you would do:)
I love you!
love sister wood
