Week 12- Happy late 4th of July

July 6, 2009

Hey!!
So a lot of big news happened this week that I'm just going to jump right into. This past week was the official week that the Harrisburg and Pittsburgh missions combined. We got to meet President Summerhays and his wife on Wednesday and just had a little zone conference. It was mostly a question and answer session to find out what kinds of things are changing. The first biggest/major thing is that our P-days are changing. It will now be on Thursdays. So I won't get to write you until next Thursday....but that should give you all plenty of time to write to me. :) On July 28 is our next transfer day (7 week transfer in this one). They have transfer meetings on Tuesdays and are having all the sisters go over to Pittsburgh for this one so we can meet all the other sisters. Our numbers will more then double! haha, we'll go from having only 6 sisters to having 14! But it will be a fun pow-wow over there. There are also no bikes at all in this mission. It's all either walking or cars. Not that it effects me too much but all the elders have to send their bikes home. Poor guys. There is a lot of other little changes that has happened too but none really concerning my communication home :) But it will be very interesting to see how it all turns out with the missions combining. The two greatest missions coming together to make a 'MEGA' mission! :)
This week was a pretty good one. We are now starting to see a lot of fruit from all our labors. At church yesterday, we got a less-active family come to church and the boy brought his non-member fiancee with him! She's so cute, her name is Amanda. We set up a time to meet with her for tonight! We were also able to find a couple new investigators this week....so things are picking up!
We had a pretty good 4th of July too! Our ward had a big celebration at a members home. They live on a lake so they had lots of water activities (that of course we didn't take part in....but you know I wanted to!). They also had set up fireworks in the middle of the lake to set off when it got dark and all the neighbors around the lake had some to shoot off too. We had a 7:00 curfew that night so we had to miss it all but it was fun to be with the ward. They also had a lot of non-member friends that came so a great missionary tool for us :)
I'm sorry this email is so scatter-brained. I'm trying to type as fast as I can with the little time I have. I hope you all have a wonderful week though and I can't wait to hear from you next week! Love you all and miss you lots!!!
Love, Sister LaMont
