Dear
Family and Friends, Monday,

This last week was a pretty
good one.
On Monday we stayed busy with
teaching and doing service. We taught a mother and daughter on Monday.
On Tuesday we went to Portland
for a Zone Meeting and an interview with the mission president. After the
meeting we went on exchange. Elder Dean came back with me to Yarmouth and Elder
Thomas headed up to Brunswick with Elder Gardner.
On Tuesday night we did service
for a new investigator. She really enjoys having us
over to mow her lawn and she feeds us. She didnt read in the Book of Mormon so
we read the introduction with her.
On Wednesday me and Elder Dean
worked in Durham. We did a lot of tracting. We exchanged back in Brunswick at
Taco Bell. Elder Gardner and Elder Thomas were riding their bikes down Main
Street so Elder Dean yelled at them. He yelled, "Pedal faster!" We
always get yelled at as missionaries from people in cars. Usually they yell
something like, "Jesus isnt real!" or "Hail Satan!" It is
really annoying so me and Elder Dean took our opportunity to also yell at a
pair of missionaries :)
On Thursday we taught mother and daughter again. They are really doing well. Heather was a little confused
with the story of Nephi killing Laban in the first part of the Book of Mormon,
so we explained that. Our neighbor's battery gave out so we helped him replace
it. He gave us some salmon since we helped him.
On Friday we helped with a
community meal. It ended up being a great service and we met a lot of people. I
like doing service in the community because it gives us the chance to meet
people and they realize that we are normal people just doing missionary work.
On Saturday we taught a less active member. It went well. Afterwards we went to the nursing home to give an elderly
lady a blessing. She is 95. She tried to get us to
help her break out.
Well i got to go, someone wants
to get on the computer!
