Transfer 11 Week 4

This week was good! We started it off by going to Manitowoc for Pday to spend it with the Hmong elders. We were able to do some finding Monday night in two rivers and the first door we knocked, we met Tiffany. Tiffany had taken the lessons 14 years ago when she was a teen in Racine WI. She remembers a Sister Young who really made an impact on her. She has 4 kids now and wants the best for them. She was brought to tears when she found out who we were and that she would have the opportunity for her and and children to be taught. She's now being taught by the two rivers elders. 

 

We had District Meeting on Tuesday and then I stayed in Two Rivers for exchanges with Elder Lewis. We were able to find a few hmong people for them to teach. I wasn't able to help out too much though because of the language barrier.. haha

 

On Wednesday, when I was back with Elder Amann in Chilton, we were able to find this guy named Tony. Tony was super sincere and when we told him that Christ Literally ministered to the people in America as he did in Jerusalem, he was literally soo excited. He was like No wayy! Thats soo awesome! He took the Book of Mormon with enthusiasm and couldn't wait to read it. He wanted some time to read before we came back so we set up an Appointment for early June.. (we tried to make it earlier as there's time for unfavorable information to seep in..) Oh, well, we're excited for him.

We were able to help out with Granny twice this week as she needed a lot of help done.. We read from the bom with her and something we read reminded her of something from native american culture. So she was excited about that, and eager to show us the similarities in our next visit. 

 

Saturday was super busy, we've started to have a weekly sports activity with the branch. Where the branch can invite friends to come play basketball and soccer. This Saturday was the first week. We actually had a bunch of the youth come and they all enjoyed it. Hopefully we'll be able to talk to some new people this way. After the sports activity in the morning, we had an appointment, then we went straight to a service opportunity with Todd, then straight to a dinner appointment, then straight to a lesson with John. It was a very quick, packed day. It was nice. 

 

Yesterday we were able to Skype with our parents. It was awesome being able to see them! Sucks saying goodbye though.. 

 

Anyways, those were the main points of this week! Hope you all have a good week.
