What a week!!
Monday we went down to explore Mcintosh pond and that was a lot of fun! Then Monday night we had a few sisters from Lowell Massachusetts come up and stay with us. I'm kind of awful haha, like the worst hostess because I hate small talk... and socializing with my peers... haha... Anyways!!
Tuesday we had New Missionary Training!! That was fun... Once again, socializing among my peers is not one of my strong points... XD But then we all went back to our areas and it was all back to normal!! We had a lesson with this guy named John and then we went to dinner at the Wilson's! So the Wilson's are this nice family that are renting part of their house to as a guy who is a member and is going to the Vermont Law School. So This guy decided to invite most of his Cohort (Class) to dinner, with the missionaries... We were very stressed, but it ended up being a lot of fun and we just awkwardly shared a message with a ton of nonmembers and then left in the middle of dinner because we can only stay at members house's for an hour at the most. That evening we began what is called Facebook Finding....... It is the most awkward thing ever haha! You literally go on facebook and friend every single person in your area and everyone who accepts, you message and invite them to learn about Christ! So there has been some awkward conversations so far! Some blocking has been done and some apprehension has been had!
Wednesday we went and had a lesson with Ed and so that was good!! He is about 70 and has been smoking since he was like 10, and then he just stopped, and now he wants to take the lessons!! We also met with this cute family and they are really excited to learn more!! They really want their kids to grow up with religion because it's just good to have that and we agree!! haha We also met the most amazing lady on wednesday!! She is from Nicaragua and her name is Kathy. She moved here in like February and was looking for a church to go to. Someone told her to go to our church, but she was too nervous and then God sent us to her!! So we got her number and a return appointment!!
Thursday we went and had breakfast with a member and that was a lot of fun! He is the nicest member and is a lot of fun to visit with!! Then we went and did some service at this thing called meals on wheels. We go every week and sing for the senior citizens and then help serve a meal then clean up and just visit with all the old people!! That evening we went to dinner at the Ferguson's, the JSM Directors, and they forgot we were coming haha! So we got a quick tour of the JSM and when we came back they had dinner prepared! It was awesome! Then we had a lesson with Jaimond and Caroline and that went really well too!It was a good day!
Friday we had district Council, and I have the nicest district leader ever! He wrote everyone in our district a nice, thought out, handwritten letter! I'm pretty sure he specifically prays and studies for each of us individually and it's just so sweet! We had a lesson with Kathy and she wants to learn more and is really excited about the Gospel!! We also had dinner with the Turinetti's and they have 11 kids!!! How crazy is that!!!
Saturday we had a BBQ at the JSM to recognize the descendants of the people who built the monument!! it was a lot of fun and it went well! it was super awkward at first and a member came up and said it looked like the elders and us were on a date and that was just weird... Anyways I am out of time!
I love you all tons and tons!!!
Love,
Sister Warburton
