Week Six

Hello!

This week has been great! It started off with us waking up really early to hike Mt. Battie again. We went with the Ellsworth Elders and decided we wanted to watch the sunrise… so we did it. We had zone conference the same day, so we had to get back down as fast as possible to get ready. We took some cool pics though. The Ellsworth Elders stayed over again that night and we had exchanges with them the next day. The highlight of that day would be teaching “C” and “B”. They are progressing well. We also have another new investigator named ”D”, who likes to ask questions about politics, social security, and welfare. He doesn't understand why the members of our church are so conservative and don't support welfare and things like that. He's fun to teach though.

Last week, I forgot to tell you about the social media change in our mission and the upcoming visit from Elder Bednar. There are so many awesome and crazy things happening out here. I am really excited. Elder Bednar will be visiting our mission, so we are having a mission conference. Then, a few days later he will be at our stake conference. President Blair is making sure everyone is well prepared for when he visits. I don’t know what the social media deal will entail, but I might ask President Blair if I can have you send me my uke, so I can post clips of church songs of me playing and my companion singing or something like that. I think it would be a great thing to post for investigators and members who follow me.

The members here are so nice to us missionaries!!! We had three meals on Sunday!!! While we were at Sister Emerson’s house, I was randomly talking about Scentsy’s, when all of a sudden Sister Emerson jumped up and grabbed us one of those heat lamps, and a bunch of different tart flavors for our apartment. So now “the barn” (our awesome apartment we live it) smells like autumn apples. We love it! Also… today is the first day you can pick apples here, so I guess you can say that fall is starting. I don’t know if I ever told you about the Bigney Family. They are pretty awesome. They have us over every Sunday night and Sister Bigney lets me help her cook. It’s so much fun. So yep… the members her are great!

There's been talk that some big storm might hit here, so that’s pretty crazy I guess. Beside this…not much else to report.

Have a great week everyone!
