This week was Wundubar! Have no idea if that is how you spell it, I can't google it. It is week 5 in the transfer! Ah! We are really scared for transfer texts this Saturday. Our district is due for some major changes. We have all been here for quite a while. I hope I don't get transferred. It is really iffy. You should be fine sending to my address or to the mission home if you aren't sure. This is a fast transfer that is for sure.
Monday we finally got in with a less active that I have been trying to meet for the last 4 months. We brought her visiting teacher, Sister Edgar who is just boss. Such a good member missionary. She just sits down with Angela and straight up asks her how she feels about her testimony, what is keeping her from coming to church and reminded her of how much she loved church. It was boss. Then we went to the Millers and she always makes such good food! They gave us fresh cucumbers and zucchini to fry up. That is what I cooked in my healthy picture.
Tuesday/ Wednesday was awesome. We get a phone call from the Sun Prairie Elders. They told us they were just walking down the street when this lady pulled over and stopped them! She then asked if they were missionaries that left their home for two years to teach people. In shock they said yes and she asked if they would come over and teach her. Yes. But it is a woman and she lives in our area so they handed her off to us. She is really cool. The thing that got her interested is the Mormon bloggers. It is a running joke in her family that she is obsessed with Mormon bloggers. So we went and taught/ answered a ton of her questions. It was great. She wouldn't really commit to much, but if anything it planted a huge seed and she knows what she needs to do.
Wednesday night we had the Steven's Point sisters stay with us and we went to our mission tour together early Thursday morning. It was SO good. Basically a HUGE zone conference. There were 3 zones there and we heard from President and Sister Cutler as well as Elder and Sister Martino of the seventy. The first half was super uplifting. The Savior loves each of us and how his atonement is for each of us individually. It was great, some tears and all. And I happened to do a singing musical number because I know how to read music for alto. Is what just eight missionaries SATB two to a part. Oh boy I don't know what I got myself into there. But whatever, I didn't die. After lunch we got down to business. We all got kind of chastised a little bit on how we all need to use the members better. So we talked a ton about that. How in the story of Alma and Amulek, Amulek is basically a less active. Alma reactivates him and the teach all of Amuleks family. Then they go to the city and no one is listening. Zeezrom comes out and Alma tries to teach them. Then bam! Amulek comes out, member missionary, and astonishes Zeezrom. It wasn't Alma the amazing teacher. It was Amulek who was just gaining his testimony as well. Just good stuff. But man was it a long day. We were gone from 6:30 in the morning and didn't get back until 6 p.m.
Friday I just ate a ton of ice cream. There went all my healthiness. I think we had ice cream 4 times that day. It was great. Living the dream. Basically that is all I remember about Friday. We were spiritually hung over from Friday still.
Saturday we sat down and had correlation over breakfast with our ward mission leader and discussed stuff from a missionary broadcast they had for the members here in Wisconsin. It was good. Our ward is feeling the fire. We brought Brother Sellars to our lesson with the Stolls this week so he could basically re-give his talk on Sunday about the Brother of Jared. The Stolls absolutely loved it! Then they pulled out this huge box for me filled with old piano music! It was awesome! They said take what you want, so I took some. It is really cool. One book that I love is from 1937, beautiful music. We also finally found an investigator that Sister Packer found but I never met because she was always busy. We sat down and taught her a lesson.
Now for the big day. Sunday. It was kind of crazy. I volunteered to do a piano number for sacrament meeting so we could get the Stolls to come. So of course they did. But 2 days before we also got a call from the bishopric asking us to give talks on Sunday. So we did that too. AND my favorite, Harriet. Her granddaughter was blessed today so Harriet, her daughter and her boyfriend and the baby all came to church today! It was great to see them there. Great church day. That night people were strangely rude to us. More so than usually and so consistent. Everyone gave basically the same answer and wouldn't give us the time of day. Then finally we put two and two together. There was a Brewers game on against the Dodgers. We need to get a game schedule or something. Oh man, too good. Baseball comes first. Then we went to Harriets to help her fold her laundry and wow. Harriet and Jim are so nice to us. The loaded us up with corn, cucumbers, homemade pickles and tomatoes. So good.
Anyways I am loving the life! I scored quite a few baskets in bball today! I feel good! We are trying to change a lot of things so we can get a baptism before General Conference. Something has to happen this week for us to make that goal. 30/125 areas have made it. Lots of prayers and lots of focus on being obedient. It'll be good. I know the Lord has a plan for us. I know I can rely on him, I just have to do my part.
Love you more than Wisconsin loves their cheese!
