New Year



 Hello everyone, hope you all had a happy new year! 

Monday: Did like nothing today because the roads were mad icy. Shoveled some people's drive ways though. 

Tuesday: We had a great lesson with a friend who is on date for the 10th. She loves learning about our church, and she has an insanely good memory. She can remember everything we say to her its so cool.

Wednesday: New Year's Eve we had to come home at 7 so we didn't run into any crazy people on the streets. We got to watch the movie Witnesses though, which was really good. After that I accidentally hit my comp in the goodies. It was pretty funny.

Thursday: The new begins. Our goal as a companionship is to find more people because were kinda running out of friends to teach. There all getting baptized which is great, but we have nobody else to teach after that happens. I gave a blessing to a member in a hospital. 

Friday: We got to play some magic the gathering with some guys who were asking questions about our church. Some of them have potential, so that's good .

Saturday: Pretty solid day today. Had some good lessons throughout the day!  

Sunday: Today was really good. We did a lot of finding today, and had some people tell us to come back, and they seemed pretty interested so that was good. As I was writing in my journalat approximately 10:27 pm, the fire alarm in our apartment building goes off. We couldn't smell smoke, but i grab my blanket and we go outside. We only had to stand outside in the freezing cold for like 30 minutes before they let us back inside. The worst part about this tbough, was that the fire alarm didn't shut off until about 12:30 that night which made it really difficult to fall asleep. Im not sure the reason why the alarm went off, but nobody was hurt. While we were standing outside though, we met this young guy who wanted to do a scripture study with us. God is always working in mysterious ways. If the alarm didn't go off, we probably never would have met him. 

Weather Report: It snowed a ton last week. We got like 10 inches or more throughout the week. The wind is brutal and just makes everything worse.

Spiritual Thought: Alma 38:5  "And now my son, Shiblon, I would that ye should remember, that as much as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day." I know that these things are true. I know when we put our trust in God, we will be able to overcome anything! 

 I hope everyone is doing good!! Love you all ❤️ Email me! Elder Root out 👋🫡

Week 9 beacuase apparently I skipped a week

Monday: We went to a rec center to play some basketball. Then after we decided we wanted to do some sprints. Right before we started, this huge group of little kids came into the gym and were told by their teacher to sit silently against the wall. So all the little kids were just starring at us, so we decided not to do sprints anymore. Maybe next week.  Tuesday: Nothing crazy today. Went to Culvers.  Wednesday: We had a Thanksgiving dinner with a family.It was super good. The family is on date for baptism so that's good.  Thursday: Thanksgiving!!! It was a super chill day. Had one lesson with a member then we went to a members house for dinner. I was a little sad to find out that they had 2 huge huskies, which means they had dog hair all over there house. It was insane. That wasn't even the worst part. The hair was all over in the food too. It was horrible. One good thing was that we got to watch the last half of the Cowboys vs Cheifs game. I was happy to see the Che...

  Hello everyone!!! It's been an awesome week!  Tuesday: I woke up at 3:30, and headed to the airport. It took 2 flights to get to Milwaukee. Right before me and my MTC comp got on our 2nd flight, we talked to this lady and ended up giving our first Book of Mormon away. It was pretty cool! Also, apparently you can't have liquid in your carry on, so I had to throw away pretty much all of my soap  . Wednesday: I met my new companion, his name is Elder Rupert. He's pretty cool, and he's a hard worker which is good. If your wondering what he looks like, just picture Elder Marshall . I found out my first area too. I'm currently in Marinette Wisconsin. I'm like right on the border of Wisconsin and Michigan, so im constantly going to both states. Also my companion can't drive, so I've had to drive, and boy this place is weird is with its stop lights. I've took so many wrong turns too. Its horrible. Thursday: My first full day as a missionary in Marinette. W...
