Well, this was a really
great week and I really can't believe that it's P-day again! This
transfer has flown by SO much, and it is really hard to believe that I
have been on a mission for 8 months, and in Waukesha for over half of
those months! :P But honestly, every single day is such a blessing and
I love being a missionary more than anything else in the world, so I
gotta cherish this time while I have it! :)
--by the way, I put photos on Dropbox, and there are videos for you to watch--
But just a quick review of my week:
Wednesday (the day after P-day last week) was......... drumroll please.....
Sick day!!! I was sick all day, wahoo!!! Apparently there was
this stomach bug thing going around and I got it, so that was not fun at
all... But we were still able to do missionary work and be productive,
meaning that
Wednesday
was also our last District Meeting so we got to feel the Spirit a lot
and got to take some photos. The awesome part was that Brother Wheeler
came (the institute director of Milwaukee) and taught us about receiving
revelation. It was super powerful. And then right after that, we went
and taught a lesson to Jose at his house, but we cut that short because
I was about ready to pass out from lack of energy and everything... So
when we got home, I just fell asleep until around 7, when we got picked
up by Bro. Davies to go and contact Bro. Campos, the less active man,
and had another pretty good lesson with him. The only problem is that
he is pretty stressed out and everything, but I really hope that feeling
the Spirit was able to help him.
On Thursday,
we went and contacted Lavar, a referral from the English Elders. We
found him at home, luckily, and got to teach him a lesson and schedule a
return appointment! And, based on our encounter with him, he shows
tons of promise! I'm really excited to see where the Gospel takes him.
After that, we contacted some potentials down the road, but nobody
answered to us... So, instead, we went and talked to Eric and Angel and
then went to the library to have a lesson with Rosa. She is still
doing great, but has been undergoing some persecutions since she joined
the church. We just tried to uplift her, and she is doing well again.
Then after that, we took a bus up to the Whipple's house, where we had
dinner and I got to choose and practice a song to sing in church (next
week!!!)
Friday
started with Correlation, which was interesting because the English
Elders couldn't be there, but we still got to talk about all of the
things that the ward needs to know about and attempt to make progress
with the help of our Ward Mission Leader. Later, we got to make up our
studies that we missed from the morning, and then got to weekly plan!
It was interesting weekly planning because this next week is Transfer
Week so we didn't know at that time if one of us was going to be
leaving, so we planned a little differently, but it was still effective
and this week is gonna be great! Then we had dinner with Zach and
Latoya - it was awesome (as usual).
Saturday morning, starting at
7am,
we went over to the Hebron House (just this boarding place in Waukesha)
and helped finish Mason Durst's Eagle Project, which included paving a
path with some big bricks. I ended up getting scratched up a bit, but
it's alright. After that, we went and attempted a contact at Maria
Young, who was not home, and then caught another bus to contact some
out-of-the-way people, and even though none of them were home we were
still able to find out where they lived, which was awesome of course!
We also visited with Jerry Hempstead, who has a hard time coming to
church, and had a great lesson with a lady on the bus. And to top the
whole day off, we had dinner with the Bishop's, which is always such an
awesome time!
Sunday
was a good end to the week, with Fast and Testimony Meeting. We did,
however, get stood up for our lesson that morning... That was kind of
frustrating, especially because I called and confirmed with him! But we
had dinner with the Gardner's and a lesson with the Woods after that,
so it was good.

Anyways, I love you all TONS! And just wanted to share one
thing. This last week, I found a scripture in Doctrine and Covenants
that I really love. It is Section 6 verses 33-37. I encourage you all
to read it - I loved it! Have a great week, all of you! :)
