We met some really cool people this week!     We got a text from the Paddock lake elders to text a guy named Joseph. We did and he was so cool! He is a truck driver but is really looking for God more in his life and is looking to make those changes that he needs to! And he is in our area!!      Another person that we were able to meet on facebook that lives in Madison called because he wanted to learn more about the Book of Mormon! We talked this week in district council about using the Book of Mormon to find people to teach and it totally worked!      We finally got to meet our friend Angelina today who other sisters passed off to us and she is the sweetest! She called us right after and said that because we met God gave her an opportunity to help someone else and it was so cool!      Something I learned this week was that you never know what someone is going through. We met with a member family last week and gave them a lesson and...

Hi everyone!  Last preparation day we got to go to Lake Michigan with the sisters and it was so pretty! We decided to go earlier which was so good because once we left it started pouring rain! I am still not used to this weather! Last week we had our meet the president conference and it was so good! President and Sister Hansen are so inspired! The more they tell us about themselves and experiences that they've had, the more I see how much they have been prepared to help this mission and especially individuals in this mission!

It was so precious at the end when he told us how much it meant to him and how he feels at home there! A couple days later he texted us and told us that he received a 4 page letter that was very anti towards the church and then he didn't message us for 4 days! It was so stressful! He finally texted us back and said that he had been busy w...

Happy 4th of July!  We had lots of missionary meetings this week! We had a Mission Leadership conference, Combined District council, another MLC to meet the new mission president and his wife and then a meeting with all of our Stake leaders! They all went really well! We talked a lot about how to stay motivated and focused during this transition to a new president. I'm really excited to see what happens! We said our final goodbyes to the Murphys which was really hard but we are so excited to have the Hansen's here! We got to meet them in person this morning while dropping something off at the mission office and they are the sweetest! We were able to do a Wengs church tour on Monday! Sadly she wasn't able to come in person but we did a virtual one and it went so well! The spirit was so strong!  We also had a ward breakfast on Saturday and it was so fun to be able to talk to and get to know the members more!  One of the nights someone mentions fireflies being out so we ran ...
