Winter Storm Warning ⚠️




Hello everyone, hope you all had an amazing week, just like I did! We found some really cool people this week, that hopefully will be able to progress towards baptism. 

Monday: We had zone pday, and ir was just awesome. All the missionaries from around Appleton got together and played kickball, volleyball, gagaball, and the best part is that some kids brought some lacrosse sticks, so I got to mess around with those too! 

Tuesday: Had district council and it was pretty good. Then ate some lamb at a members house. It was mid honestly. Played some more volleyball for a church activity.

Wednesday: We had an exchange with the AP'S, so I got to go to Milwaukee! I went with Elder shirts. It was so pretty down there. It was a crazy day for sure because we didn't get dinner until 8 that night, and I didn't get lunch either. 

Thursday: Exchanged back with my comp. Super Chill day. Had some good lessons, then ended the day playing basketball with some of our friends! 

Friday: Did another exchange with the Swahili elders. I went with Elder Hart. He came out thr same time as me. He's a dawg! We went crazy and found 5 people today. This is the day that we got the Winter Storm Warning. They estimated 17-14 inches between Sunday through Monday evening. 

Saturday: It was just a weird day because we were in service clothes basically all day. We helped some people move out of the house and Into their new house. Had lunch with a member at Taste of the Windy City. It tasted delicious btw. Then helped some other lady clean her house and move some furniture. We did such a good job that she wanted us to also help her neighbor with the same thing.

Sunday: We get the news that church is canceled, so we have to text all our friends that were planning on coming that it was canceled. Sunday Mormon honestly wasn't that bad, and they probably didn't need to cancel it, but I woke up today and there is probably over 2 feet of snow outside right now and it is still coming down. 

Spiritual Thought: Alma 32:21 
"And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."
This is a scripture i shared a lot with people this week because some of there definitions of faith were a bit interesting. Having faith is something that matters, especially on a mission. It's not just faith, it's faith in Jesus Christ. Ive seen times when I have faith and when I don't. I notice that when I do have faith in Jesus Christ I receive more blessings and opportunities to talk to people. So have faith in Jesus Christ! 

Weather Report: It was pretty cold this week except for on zone pday. It hit 48 which was so cool! After that day though it was freezing. It is currently blizzarding and we probably won't go anywhere today😭Looks like im not doing laundry today.

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...
