I've been sent to serve in Dover-Foxcroft Maine! It is the northern most part of the mission..... and just when I thought Spring was around the corner....think again. We're even farther north than parts of Canada! Our arear is also the biggest arear in the mission, it's bigger than the state of Connecticut!!! My new companion is Sister Burton and she is AWESOME!!!!....oh and we live in a BARN!!!!!! I love it!
Our week consisted of cleaning the nice apartment the elders left for us. Let's just say that elders standards of cleanliness and sisters standards of cleanliness aren't even on the same spectrum. Ha ha we whipped it into shape and sisterized it in no time!
The rest of the week was pretty similar we worked on trying to find all our investigators and the people the previous elders were working with.
Here are some pretty sweet miracles that have happened this week. We went and stopped by a members home who lives not far from us. We were able to talk for a bit and get to know them, by the end of our conversation, they had given us six referrals! It was awesome!
Our next miracle is pretty mind blowing! So we were walking to go and contact some of our referrals and this car pulls up and a lady gets out and starts waving to us. We thought she was a member who recognized that we were the new sisters in the area. She came up and asked if we remembered her. We told her that we had only been here a few days. She thought that we were the Jehovah's Witnesses that had knocked on her door a little while back. We told her who we were and she asked if we had a message to share with her. Her husband got out of the car to come talk to us too. It was so crazy! We shared a scripture from the Book of Mormon with them and gave them a copy. They invited us to come by to share more of what we believe with them. Sister Burton and I were on cloud nine! It was too awesome! Great things are happening in this area!
We received a very nice warm welcome from the branch here. They are so excited to have sisters here. The last time they had sister missionaries was over 15 years ago, so this is quite the exciting change for them.
Those are some of the highlights from this week! It has been such a fun, new, exciting, tiring, overwhelming and great experience shotgunning.
Just like with anything hard in life there are always good things to come! I know this to be true!
