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 that we could get. 

Weather Report: It has still been pretty smoky from the Canada and Minnesota fires which isn't great. It has also been very hot this week which is never fun!

Spiritual Thought: 1 Nephi 2:15
 "And my father dwelt in a tent."
I love this scripture because it shows the sacrifice that the prophet Lehi had because he listened to the Lord. He was living life very comfortable with his wife and family, but he gave it all up because God asked him to. I know making sacrifices can be hard sometimes, but God appreciates all the times that we do, and he blesses us with something that will bring us closer to Him!

Hope you all had a good week! Love you all! Email me!

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...

Sturgeon Bay Week 3

Hey everyone, hope your week is going well! Not too much happened this week! We had zone conference on Tuesday, and they talked a lot about member work. They brought in some members and we got to ask them questions to get there understanding of missionary work! It was pretty cool! It was really good to see some of the other missionaries I worked with in the past as well. We did a lot of finding this week, which we much needed. Unfortunately, we didn't have too much success! We had a friend who we really thought was gonna come to church, but he didn't. We texted him after and he just said, "I'm not interested anymore"  Our one progressing friend is no longer!  We found another cool guy named Sheldon though. He actually seems really prepared. The hard part, is that he can't come to church. He is in the main corn harvest   season, which he said takes about a month. Weather Report: There was a couple really hot days, but the rest were a good temperature! Spiritual...

H ey Everyone!! Its been a great week with lots of finding happening. We put a few people on date this week, and were getting them all ready to go!  Weather Report: Besides the massive snow snow it's been pretty decent weather. Mostly in the high 30's low 40's.  Monday: We thought we would be snowed in today, but we somehow got out of out parking lot and to the church building to play some basketball. We helped a total of 4 cars get out of the snow. It was so fun to help these people out!  Tuesday: Today we did a lot of service. We helped a new family move into there house, and then an older lady move some furniture. We helped her clean up her house little bit too.  Wednesday:  Zone Conference today. It was really good. They did a jello slurping contest with the entire zone and I took second place. I also learned a lot about relying on the spirit and why it's so important. They also talked about how our words matter, and they reflect back on the church when miss...
