Transfer 6 Week 1

Hello Everyone! This was my first week in my new area Baraboo. I'm really enjoying it so far. It's a smaller town with rolling hills and lakes and very beautiful scenery! I'm excited for Fall so that I can get some great pictures! Elder Pounds and I are getting along great. He is literally the twin of Lawry.. They look the same, and have the same comedy.. its great. 

We spent a lot of time doing service this week. We help out at a community Restore place, at a food pantry and we helped with a couple members house projects. We have a couple really solid investigators here. Last night we had a lesson with this guy named Alberto. He used to travel the world with the circus! He grew up very wealthy in Armenia and trained at a young age to do what he did. He has lots of stories of the circus and his life. We were able to set a baptism date with him last night for October 17th. We had Brother Ricks in that lesson with us and he owns a couple Rigleys Believe it or Nots and other crazy stores in the Wisconsin Dells. It was pretty neat to sit down and have a lesson with two very wealthy and famous people. We taught Alberto the Plan of Salvation and he says he's willing to do anything to be baptized. We were also able to have a lesson with Jose, Hes been taught mostly everything but he doesn't want to continue without his families support. I havent been able to meet all of the people we are working with yet but so far its going great!

The members here are super nice! I already think I'm gaining weight because of them feeding us here. I really like our apartment, it's smaller than my other ones but it's more open so I like it! This is going to be a great 6 weeks I can already tell!

Welp thats about it I think..

Love and miss you all!

Transfer 5 Week 6

This past week was my last week in Beaver Dam. Tomorrow I'm headed to Baraboo Wisconsin. Its only about an hour west of Beaver Dam. It's North of Madison. All of my areas are touching each other.. hahah It seems like I'm just circling the outside of Madison.. hahah My New Address is 503 7th St Baraboo WI 53913.

My new companions name is Elder Pounds. He's my Trainer's MTC companion so I've heard a lot about him and I've met him a couple times and were already really cool with each other so it'll be great!

This past week we went down to Madison for Zone Training Meeting. We were asked to bring food for a pot luck afterwards. I was expecting a bunch of treats and appetizers but there was actually some good food there! Elder Atkinson and I brought shrimp with cocktail sauce.. I believe it was a crowd favorite.. ;) After ZTM we stopped at Chris Farleys gravesite.  It was in this church building thingy.  It was pretty neat.

We did a lot of service this week. We were able to go to the Moyer's farm and help out with the kangaroos and what not. We helped a less active move most of Wednesday. We were able to have a great lesson with Kyle again this week.   We've been going around to lots of investigators and members so that I can see them for the last time these past couple days. It's bittersweet. I'm excited to be moving on to a new area but I will miss a lot of the members here. Its crazy to think that I've spent more than half my mission in Beaver Dam. It feels like I just got here..

I'm excited for Baraboo! Sorry for no email last week!

I love and miss you all!
