Week 5

It's getting harder and harder to think of what to say during these emails..

This week was good. Monday was our P-Day where we normally get up, go to the Millers for Breakfast, do our 2 hours of studies, then drive back to our apartment, get changed then head to the Library to email.

Then we normally go out to eat for lunch, last week we got Taco Bell. Then we head over to the church where we play Basketball, soccer, and volleyball with a bunch of missionaries. Maybe like 16 in all. (I'm getting good at volleyball haha) Then we go get our grocery's for the week, drop them off at the apartment, and back to visiting people by 6.

Then Tuesday we had a Zone Training Meeting type thingy in Madison and we had exchanges after. I stayed in Sun Prairie for this exchange. Everything went really good! We met some really cool people tracting that have some potential and yea. :P Everything went great.

Wednesday we helped an investigator at the local museum like we always do, every Wednesday and Friday. Then just did normal missionary work after..
Same with Thursday.. and Friday.. And Saturday... obviously..

But, Friday we had a 1-6 weeks Training for all the new missionaries. That was from 9 - 3, so that took most of the day. We just had training about stress.. blah blah blah and other stuff, did lots of role plays and yea. Just stuff. haha We got back to Sun Prairie at like 5 and we had more success in those short hours than we did on any other day that week. .

That's the weird thing, sometimes you can try as hard as you can to get stuff done and nothing goes through, but then sometimes everything just works out. Its random.

Saturday we had these members call us up and tell us we needed to stop by so we could pick up some Thin Mints. This couple is always calling us up, giving us food. Its awesome. So we went to pick up the Thin Mints and asked if we could do anything for them. So they had us work on this Kitchen Cabinet that wouldn't work for some reason.. Everything was lining up but it just wouldn't go in... I don't even know.. it was dumb. But we worked on it for like an hour and we just ended up staying there for dinner as well. So that was cool, we got dinner and thin mints out of that visit. :)

We didn't have very many meal appointments this week because it was stake conference last week.. We have 5 this week though so it makes up for it. oh, and I also got a surprise package from Sydney which was sooo nice of her! So thank you sooo much!!!

This Saturday Elder L. Tom Perry is visiting the whole mission in Milwaukee, so we get to drive up there and see him which is pretty cool. Hopefully he brings news of getting ipads. All the missions are supposed to have them by Early 2015. So we will see!

That's pretty much it this week though.

Love you all!
