The Tourist Branch

 




This new area is very different from past areas, mostly because we are just finding all day everyday. There haven't been missionaries in this area for a couple weeks, which has slowed down the work. We have been in the grind though to find some new people, and we definitely have some that might progress well! 


On Sarurday our branch had a picnic at Sunset Park! We got to know a lot of the members and I got to play some pickleball with them too. While there one of the members of the presidency asked Elder Boysen and I to speak on Sunday in a couple weeks. We agreed, and then he told us it would be 20 minutes each 😳!! 

I learned on Sunday that our branch is very small. Half of the people that were there are tourists just visiting for the day! I was also asked to give the opening prayer that Sunday aswell! 

Weather Report:
I hate to say it, but the wind has picked back up and has made it kinda cold the past couple of days! Had to find my jacket out of my suitcase.

Spiritual Thought: 
Philippians 4:13 
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" It might be a more difficult start to be here at this time, but I know I can do all things through Christ!

Week 9 beacuase apparently I skipped a week

Image
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...

Put em on date

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...
