What a fun week it has
been! There are so many things I want to say, hopefully I can remember
everything, haha. Well, last p-day it was the last week that one of the
missionaries in our district would be here because they were going home so we
did a district activity... we milked cows! One of the members of our
branch owns a dairy farm so we went to their farm, and had some fun adventures
there. We stuck our hands in the baby cows mouths, which was kind of
gross because they were very slobbery and yes, I milked a cow. I wasn't
very good at it either, haha. It was fun though. Their son just got
his mission call to Gona! In fact, there are three people in our branch
that got their mission calls. Emily, who sometimes comes to lessons with
us got her mission call to .....*drum roll*........Murray!!!!! :D
Technically it is called the Salt Lake Central mission but its Murray. She leaves
for the MTC on October 15th! I'm so excited for her! She will be a
great missionary! Perhaps I will be able to go out with her if she serves
in our stake! She came with us to lessons now perhaps someday I will be
able to go with her to lessons, haha.
Another fun thing we had
this week was the branch missionary activity, which this month was a corn
roast! The girl we volunteer with at the hospital came as well! It
was exciting to be able to talk with her again and I was so impressed when a
lot of the branch members came up to her and introduced themselves. She
didn't know anyone so she seemed a little bit nervous at first but I think she
had fun!
We had a really cool
referral this week! So a couple of our recent converts, Kelly and Kathy, were
talking about the church with a girl named Mika. Mika showed some
interest so they referred her to us. We went to meet her and she
wanted to come to church and learn more and she said she wanted all of her kids
baptized! Then we were even more surprised when her boyfriend told us
that he was a member of our church and didn't know there was a church in Fond
du Lac. They didn't come to church but hopefully they are their for
our appointment this Friday. Also, we got a referral from one of our investigators,
Jony. Her friend just had a friend pass away and so she wants us to go
with her to visit her. So that was neat this week!
We have been seeing
Bonnie a lot and she is doing great! On Saturday the elders had a baptism
and so we invited Bonnie and she came! And she also came to church as
well on Sunday! That has truly been a miracle! We love her so
much! She is so positive and sweet! Well, we are seeing little
miracles every day here and I'm excited for another transfer in Fond du lac! It
was also so exciting to hear about Karly's mission farewell! I know that
the Lord calls us to where we need to go and helps us to overcome any
challenges that we may have. Challenges are there to help us to learn and
grow. I've learned that Wisconsin is helping me face some of my fears,
one being spiders. Because of all of the mosquitoes there is a lot of
spiders here! Huge ones everywhere! My companion and I stepped on
20 of them. But I'm grateful that the Lord helps us have the strength and
courage to do things that sometimes are scary, haha. Well, love you
all! The church is courageously true! :D
