that's just the Connecticut name for meatball subs.
Thanks to everyone for your letters and support. Last Sunday we had a wonderful baptism and this week he was confirmed. I am still in the process of trying to attach a picture of the baptism. Someday it will come! someday!I think it might actually work! You lucky people might get to see a picture.
Anyway, things are going well and I'm getting more excited every day about Windsor
Locks. The last few days of this month have been a bit crazy. Without a lot of advance warning we were told that our zone conference would be in Goshen, which turned out to be 100 miles away round-trip. When you only have 950 miles a month and you're constantly commuting back and forth between two towns in your area, that is a lot. So we've been scrimping and saving on our miles the last couple weeks of June!we had to get creative since we don't have bikes. BUT, we've been greatly blessed. I'm going to inherit a bike from a former sister next transfer, and the new companion and I will be able to bike/walk Windsor Locks and only drive in Windsor, which will help a lot.
We're also trying to build up a teaching pool in Windsor Locks. Due to mileage restrictions, this town hasn't been worked a whole lot for the past few years. It has been sadly neglected, and it NEEDS missionary work. The field is white here, which is exciting to say the least.
We volunteer at an adult day care center in Windsor and on Friday they asked us to help them take their clients to the New England Air Museum. They got a special guided tour and they just needed some extra hands to push wheelchairs. I wish the family could have come! they would have loved it especially Dad and Chris. I'll be sending postcards of some of the planes they have there. They have a prototype of one of the Wright Brothers' engines, and a bunch of planes from WWI and WWII. It was incredible and I just wish I knew ANYTHING about airplanes, I could have appreciated it that much more. Connecticut's best kept secret, I think. Or at least Windsor Locks' best kept secret. Windsor Locks is where the airport is, along with a military base, so there are planes flying overhead constantly. They're super loud and frequently they fly so low the apartment shakes. Nothing like living next to the airport to trunk you out!
Poor Sister Haueter, she only has six weeks left. I don't know how she does it. (Yes, I am still with my mom, this is our third transfer together and we're still getting along really well- what a blessing!)
This was one of those weeks where a lot of members suddenly decided to give us food. I mean, a LOT. Typically we only have 3-5 dinner appointments a month! This month people just started shoving food at us. It has been a great blessing. God takes care of us. He has certainly taken care of me, for which I am so grateful. What a crazy almost-five (five on July 18th) months it has been. Overwhelming, exciting, frustrating, fun, bizarre, hilarious, depressing, infuriating, crazy, exhilarating!and in spite of the obstacles I have encountered I am grateful to still be able to say that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world right now.
Love you all and have a happy 4th of July!
-Sister Monson
