Week of Miracles! 2-24-2014

Hey everyone!

This week has been just awesome! There have been so many things that have happened that were much needed here in Green Bay!

So first of all, we are teaching a guy named Keith who is totally amazing! We've taught him about the Restoration and he has accepted it quite well. Last week, Elder Rytting and I tracted into another family, Don and Katie, and we taught them the Restoration and they accepted a baptismal invite! We are meeting with them again this week, and we hope to be able to meet with their entire family because they have 5 kids. They are fantastic and we are so excited to be teaching them!

I was also able to go down to Sheboygan for the baptism of Carrie and Grace. That was memorable for sure! They gave such an amazing testimony after they were baptized. I'm glad that they made the decision to be a part of Christ's church. Grace told me afterwards that she was thinking about going on a mission when she got older. Both of them are just incredible people, and have gone through a lot to get to this point. They really know their Savior and their Heavenly
Father.



I can't believe that I've been out here in Wisconsin for 4 months now! It's kind of funny, because I'll look at how long I've been out, and some days think that it's gone by so quickly, but other days I will think that this has been the longest 4 months of my life! The days seem to last forever, but the weeks fly by. We get the transfer text next Friday, and for some reason I get this sneaking suspicion that I'm going to be training next transfer. Elder Rytting is definitely leaving because he's been in Green Bay for 5 transfers already, so it's pretty much guaranteed.

I also found this awesome hat at a gas station and just had to get it. It keep me so warm, because it's cooled down a bit after our heat wave.  We actually got up to 36 degrees one day! No wool sweater that day! Today it's back to normal though.

Well, I love you all and I will write you next week!
