Elder Gavin Root - Wisconsin Milwaukee Misson

Hey Everyone!!! This week has been really good, and we have seen a lot of progress with our friends!  We had zone conference on Wednesday, and it was definitely one of the better zone conferences I have been to. We learned and talked a lot about numbers, and how our number goals should all have names to them. I went on 2 exchanges this week! One with elder Krogue in my area and another with Elder Ormond in the Swahili area! On the first exchange we found some really cool people that definitely could progress really well. In the swahili area we put a family of 4 on date. Later that night they texted us and told us they were moving to Florida and can't be baptized anymore  Hopefully they can figure that out.  We put our friend Jane on date after been meeting with her for almost 4 months. She has finally given up some of her addictions and she is ready to enter into the waters of Baptism!!  We got fed 6 out of the 7 days this week which was a huge blessing! We love peop...

  Hello everyone! Hope you have been enjoying your week so far.  We had a lot happen this week! We found some new friends to teach, and some of them seem promising! We met with our friend Katherine this week, and she is very slowly progressing. She agrees with a lot of the things we have already taught her already, which has been pretty helpful! Please pray for her to gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon though! Our friend Christian finally came to church this week. He seemed to enjoy it, but the last to weeks he didn’t come because he didn’t have a ride. He never even told us that he couldn't drive  . So we got him a ride this week, and he was excited to be there! I went on an Exchange with Elder Jensen this week and we had a great time. He is leaving at the end of this transfer which is sad because he was my first district leader. There apartment was extremely hot in the bedroom, so we had to move our mattresses to the living room to get the little amount of cool air ...

Hey Everyone, hope your all doing great this morning! This week was a little challenging, mostly because of the heat we have been having. It honestly got so tiring to get in and out of the car all week. The worst part, is that pretty much nobody wanted to talk to us because they didn't want to let the heat in.  We never stop the grind though! After about 3 days of this brutal heat, and not talking to that many people. We somehow can 9ish friends confirm that they were coming to church, but only 1 came! Shout out to Katherine! She's definitely our most progressing friend right now! She is slowly but surely moving in the right direction. Besides that, not much has happened this week!  Alma 26: 12 "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."
