Oh my goodness I can't believe that conference is this weekend!!! I feel like I was just in amherst watching conference with sister nowlon and sister auvigne! we are very excited to get to watch it with Mary and vienna! we are going to watch it with them on saturday and then on sunday they will be going over to the whiting's house, the young woman's presisdent's family, to watch it:) they came to yws last tuesday and loved it, we played werewolf haha I had to try my hardest not to get too into it because I tend to do that with werewolf haha. Then we played bump after and I couldn't help myself from getting to into that haha. They also came to church this sunday (it was the primary presentation so it was perfect)!!! sister edwards was just so so excited, I love being companions with her, she helps me to have more gratitude because everything is still so new for her (and also she is just hilarious, last night we were walking home and it was really dark and creepy and earlier someone had told us to look out for rats because everyone had their recycling out on their lawns for the next morning! so to stay safe she made us link arms and do the sisters walk form hocus pocus haha we both have a love for that movie).
Peggy dropped us so that was sad. We had a lesson with her about the restoration and had sister nilsson there and it all seemed to go well. sister nilsson invited her to come to church and offered to drive and peggy was all set to come, but then we called her saturday to make sure everything was still all good and she said that she didn't want to be baptized again and go to a different church because she was a baptist and that wasn't going to change. We asked if we could come by one last time but she said no:( so that was and sad and quick 180.
This past weekend there was a scarecrow festival in mahone bay, which is a cute little town in our area, and we did a family history booth at it on sunday! It was tons of fun and we got to talk to a lot of people. this one guy mo is going to come to the family history class on wednesday!
We didn't find any new people to teach this week but we have been finding lots of CRICKETS!!! for some reason our house like attracts crickets!! we literally have to trap one under a mug everyday. Things are things that I would not do before the mission that I somehow have the strength to do now haha.
One of my favourite people that we met this week was maria. We were out knocking after our dinner appointment on sunday and we knocked into maria, she is a very devoted catholic from Portugal (which reminds me, leeya fraser my second cousin who lives her got her misison call last week to portugal!!) she was the sweetest grandma with such a thick acccent and she just gave us so many hugs and kisses while we were talking with her and was patting and playing with our hair haha we just loved it!
God has been answering so many of our prayers with the yw!! tomorrow in their young womans night in excellence and so many of the girls are going to be there! we were helping lauren (one of the yw councilors) today with getting all ready for it!:)
I love you all so much!! go to conference with at least one question in mind!
love sister wood!
