Transfer 9 Week 6


So this week was really really interesting!

We started off the week on Monday with a normal PDay..

Then on Tuesday we had District meeting down in Madison. After DTM, I went on exchanges with Elder Newren in Mad 3. It was a good exchange, we were able to talk with a lot of nice less actives and teach a lot of people. Well, the exchange with Elder Newren went until Wednesday afternoon.

Right after that exchange we were going to have an Exchange with the Zone Leaders in Mad 2. Well on the drive down from Baraboo, Elder Tunstall and Elder Bedgisoff ran into some massive car problems. They were getting notifications from the car to "turn off the engine immediately" well they drove the rest of the way down to Madison, where we reexchanged back, to then drive to the Zone Leaders area which was only a few mins away. When Elder Tunstall and I got to the Zone Leaders apartment, we told them about the car issues. We switch companions, so I went with Elder Hibbard, and Elder Tunstall went with Elder Christian. Elder Tunstall and Christian took the Baraboo car to the shop and long story short, the car wasn't ready untill today.. Monday.

So we spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with the Zone Leaders. What was supposed to be a 24 hour blitz, turned into a 3 day blitz.. We were able to make it back to Baraboo Friday night because there was a stake fireside in Madison that some members drove down to go to. So we rode back up to Baraboo with them but we have been car-less since then. The car is down in the shop in Sun Prairie (my first area!) and wont be done until sometime today. We will get the car back when were down in Madison for transfers on Wednesday. None of this probably made any sense.. so sorry. But yea. Basically we are car-less in Baraboo until Wednesday. We've had to walk everywhere, and the members have been nice enough to drive us to places that are too far to walk.. 

But we were able to get a LOT of work done in Madison with the Zone Leaders! It was reallyy great! I was with Elder Hibbard the whole time and we have a Lott in common. He's a reallyy great missionary and we had a lot of fun experiences. We were able to teach this Spanish lady that couldn't speak English at all. Her 7 year old son was able to translate everything for us. It was really neat. We tracted by going along and saying prayers with people. Just straight up asking if we could say a prayer with them on their doorstep, and if they let us, we knew they were someone worth talking to.. We got a lottt of rejection doing it that way, but the people we were able to talk to and teach were superr awesome. 

Anyways. So I'm being transferred from Baraboo. I'm going to a place called Chilton. Its up in the Green Bay stake so I'm finally making it out of Madison! haha. I'm excited.

I Love and Miss you all! 

Elder Stevens.
