Elder Gavin Root - Wisconsin Milwaukee Misson

What's up everyone! First off I gotta say congrats to the Brewers for winning the world series! I wish I could say it made people more open to listening to us, but unfortunately it didn't!  This week went by extremely fast! I went on an exchange this week with elder Luschin. He is a Hmong elder and we had a blast. Thankfully most Hmong people speak English, so I was able to actually talk with them! The next day we put our friend Bintou on date for baptism! Hopefully all goes well with her! On Friday we had MLC, and it was a 2 hour drive to Neenah.Had a great council and the spirit was actually so strong there. Then we drove back and got b dubs for dinner since there isn't one in Madison! Then we had to go take the van back up to Dodgeville which was another extra 30 minutes. By the time all this was done the day was over!  Weather Report: I've really been enjoying the 60s and 50s this week! Its great missionary work weather! Spiritual Thought: In MLC our mission preside...

What's up everyone! This week went by so fast, which is always a good thing!  Had an exchange with elder Bawden this week in his walking area! He is our goated district leader! We found some cool people, but found one really elect lady! I forgot her name but she was awesome!  We had zone conference on Thursday, and it went really well! Elder McEuen and I did a roleplay training on how to find through members! It was an elite roleplay! After zone conference, I started an exchange with Elder Bagwell! He's an absolute dawg! We had a good day! Found a couple people and had a great member meal! Costco Pizza    We had a ward Trunk or Treat on Friday, and honestly most of the chili's that people made were not that good! There was only one that I would've got seconds on, but it was all gone when I went back! I guess other people had the same idea. Caldwell 9th ward chili cook off's still on top!  Went to Cheesecake Factory with a member for Elder McEuens birthday! It wa...

  What is up everyone! Hope you've all had a great week! Elder McEuen and I have been working hard and having fun doing it!  I went on an exchange with elder Vang who is a Hmong missionary and it was really fun. It was a little difficult being in a Hmong area and not knowing the language at all, but thankfully most of them spoke English. A Hmong member fed us some Hmong sausage and sticky rice. Not a fan of the rice but the sausage was great! Then I went on another exchange with elder Staples. He is a dawg! He played lacrosse in high school, so it was fun to talk about that! We found 7 people to start teaching, and they were all really cool! After exchanges, Elder McEuen and I were sitting in the car on a call with some other missionaries and very randomly we hear this big boom from behind us. Me and my comp both ducked our heads out of reaction! Our ears were both ringing for a bit after because it was so loud! We thought either one of our tires popped or we just got shot at!...
