Hey Everyone! June 1, 2013
Well I got my first mosquito bite of the year a couple
nights ago... It’s been a good week, and lots of fun. I will start off at the
beginning. Sunday we gave our talks. All four of us missionaries spoke. I
talked on Demonstrating our discipleship through service. I didn't have much
time to prepare for it because we found out about it a couple days before and
we were pretty busy. So Dad sent me one of his talks and I used part of it
along with some other things I found. It went pretty good! It was also the Weylands
last Sunday. They taught Sunday School. After church we had the
Munch and Mingle and then we went with the Assistants over to Cherry Hill, NJ
for a baptism in Elder L. old area. There were actually a lot of
missionaries there, and a lot from my group. Sister H. and Josh W.
from the Medford ward were there. So it was cool to see all of them. We got
back kind of late and then we had to work in the office for a little bit to get
mission stats ready for the Zone Leaders.
Monday - Memorial Day was pretty good. In the morning we
drove the Broomall Sisters and Elders to Ridley State Park for the Broomall
ward breakfast. We had a good time there. Then we came back to the office and
did some of our regular office work. The senior couples were out of the office
for the day. We got our numbers report done just in time to go with the AP's to
the Sr. Couples fireside at the Mission Home. We had a steak and potato dinner
with all the senior couples. It was a really nice day and we ate outside with
Pres. & Sis. Schaefermeyer at their table. Then we took a group picture of
all the couples, and I got a picture with the Weylands and some other people.
Then the Scaeferemyers spoke to everyone about things they had learned/experiences
etc. I recorded the audio and got some video as well. It was really cool and we
were super lucky to be able to go!
Tuesday - Office work in the morning. Then we drove to
Reading, PA to deliver some medicine to a missionary.
Wednesday - Let’s see... we had the Mission conference call
in the morning. The new Senior couple - the Smuins came to the office. They are
really cool! We’re going to have a good time with them. I told them that they
probably do know the Boyack’s and yup they do!! We helped them move in a little
bit and talked to them about the mission.
Thursday - We had Zone Training in the Morning. The other
new senior couple (the Weylands replacements) The Holloways came in that day
and we got to meet them also. They are also very nice and cool. We have some
good new couples. After we did some of our office work we went on exchange with
the Zone Leaders. We did the exchange in their area because we really not have
anything to do in our area right now. Things are pretty slow in our area right
now. The exchange went good. It was just for the night because we needed to be
back in Broomall.
Friday morning we went to the office a little early so we
could get some stuff done. Then we had to drive over to Vineland, NJ for Golden
Re-Training. We are also going to the re-training on Tuesday in Dover. The Baileys
are having us help them with the luncheons because pretty soon we will be in
charge of providing the lunches for all the missionaries meetings. It’s a lot
of work! So I’m going to need some good recipes haha.
Umm. Today were emailing then going to lunch with our
district. Then washing our car at the church, then we’re just going to hang
out. We’re going to try to get some sun since we’re inside all day.
I’m currently working on deciding which phones in our
mission to switch from sprint to At&t. So I’m comparing coverage maps for a
lot areas etc. I’m trying to think if there is anything else to say.
Mom- at District Meetings I have an assigned topic to teach
and then I just have to decide where to go with the topic etc. So I have to
make up the whole thing. So far they have gone pretty well.
Glad Mom and Kylee had a good time in NYC! I got your post
card a few days ago. Thanks!
K I think that's everything!
