Sarah's September 19th Email

Hey all!

Okay, fall has started again. I've had to pull out the extra blankets and my coat. It's been a blustery week! It has also been a slow week, We got dropped by a few investigators, which is discouraging. So nothing much to report except that we had another fair this week, so I got to do a little bit of street contacting, which is nearly unheard of in the sticks area of Ashford. We were promoting a Emergency Preparedness fair we are having at the church. I handed this older lady a flyer and said,

"We are having an Emergency Preparedness Fair at our church!"

And she smiled nicely and said, "No thank you dear, I can't get pregnant anymore." and walked away.

Sometimes I think people say things just to get away from missionaries.

We got our transfer Texts and Both Sister Allen and I are staying here for another six weeks, which means we will be here for Halloween! exciting! Sister Allen loves Halloween so we are going to do something special to celebrate it. Not sure what it'll be, but someone suggested that we should dress up as Elders...yuk. Last year I was a nun, so I guess it would be more religious humor, but we will see.....

Today we are going hiking. The leaves haven't changed yet, but we want to find a spot to take pictures when they do. Next week we are planning to go up to the Big E again. I don't know if I told you all about it last year, but it's a giant fair for all of New England, and we are going to try and hand out Book of Mormons. Our goal for this transfer is to hand out a book a day. I don't think it's ever been done, but we are going to do it!

Hope everything is going well, is everyone loving school? I love you all!
