We did a booth
at Foxboro Founder's Day, which is the local town fair. We wanted to
raise awareness of the Church in the community and let people know about
all of the incredible programs offered by the Church - like the Family
History Center, Employment Resource Services, and the Addiction Recovery
Program etc. But of course we needed some kind of inspiring gimmick so
people wouldn't be terrified to come talk to us. Cue: The Gratitude
Booth.
The
booth had two main elements - a gratitude display where people could
write what they were grateful for on a little piece of paper and pin it
up on some clothes lines, and a gratitude photo booth where they could
write what they were grateful for on a chalkboard and upload the picture
to a social media sight. It. was. ADORABLE. Sister Badham and I took
the opportunity to do some serious Sister Pross, and we've been making
garlands every night for like 3 weeks. And it was totally worth it
because multiple people told us we had the best AND the cutest booth.
#success.
It was a ton of fun and we got to talk to a lot
people! Plus, the ward was like obsessed with it and we will probably go
down in Foxboro history. That's what happens when a ward gets sister
missionaries I guess ;) We also got really sunburned. Especially Sister Badham. But anything in the name of the Lord and cute fair booths!
Anyways, Transfer texts are this week! Sister Badham
and I both try not to think about it because SO MUCH GOODNESS is
happening in Foxboro, and there is a pretty good chance one of us will
leave. But since we've both been here the same amount of time, it's like
50/50 who would go ... Stay tuned next week for the verdict. Pray that
whatever happens will be exactly what all of our amazing investigators
need! In fact just pray for our investigators in general - miracles are
happening and we need all the help we can get to keep things going so
good!
I love you all. I love the gospel. I love gratitude. AND I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!
xoxo,
Sister Gledhill
