2.  Best companionship teaching experience this week was?
we had exchanges this week with the sister training leaders, sister blume went to exeter with sister smith and i stayed in sanford and sister pankratz came to me, we were able to pick up a new investigator on saturday, it was an amazing experience, her name is Anne Doiran we prayed for an hour in the car to find her cause on her teaching record it didnt have any contact information and she had not  been taught since july, so i prayed to know if the lord needs us to find her and at that moment i told sister pankratz that we need to drive into Rochester NH, which isnt our area but i called president stoker to get permission and it was so cool and GUESS WHAT  we found her!!!!!!!!! so neat

On wednesday at scripture study class, i was struggling with not being able to see success in the area i was serving and sister blume and i pray for opportunities to see that success and we were able to when we had 5 of our less actives come to our scripture study class, i cried the whole time, and bishop shaw sat and talked with me and sister blume just to let us know that our efforts dont go unnoticed.
