Sunday: So we went to church today for our first time here and it was simply a marvelous experience. We are in the Weston 2nd Ward, which is apparently the biggest ward in the Massachussets Boston Mission boundary...which is saying quite a bit. Among the many people we met, we ran into Brandon Hicks (graduated a year or two before Lindsey, whose family used to be in the stake), Elder Spenser Redford who graduated in Marilee's class, and Jessica Pechin something (new married last name) who graduated in my class. Oh, and one of the Mission President's Counselors is in the ward, and he served with Tom Carn way back when. It was a great experience and we were welcomed warmly by the Presidencies, members, and the Bishopric. There are many younger couples in our ward, some with kids and some without. It seems like a great place for us to be and we really do feel welcome. It seems like more than just a ward to attend for the summer, it is a ward family that we have just become a part of.
Anyways, we're just here in our little cosy apartment that looks directly into a cute little forest with an enchanted little lake on the other side. Come to find out, besides all of the Apx guys and here living at our comples, there are three other families in the ward living in this 7000 apartment complex, and we even live pretty close to the missionaries, and Mission Counselor. What a great location.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy this information! We look forward to keeping our blog very up to date to feel closer than we were geographically a week ago.
We Love You All!
