On Monday we had 3 appointments during our Pday. Although 2 of them fell through we were able to have a really good lesson with Sarah, Crystal, Josh (Crystal's Boy Friend) and Luke (Their Neighbor) with Brother Reichwaldt. We taught them the Restoration and all of them are super interested! They had soo many questions and we ended up staying there an extra hour just answering all of them.. It was awesome.
On Tuesday we used up our extra Pday time that we didn't use on Monday then since we had a very busy upcoming week we used our free time to weekly plan. We were able to read the Book of Mormon with Vince and John over the phone which we did every day this past week..
On Wednesday there was supposed to be a huge snow storm/blizzard that was coming through so lots of places and people were shutting down getting ready for it.. We spent the day visiting Members and Less actives I hadn't met yet. In the evening we were even able to read with Luke over the phone. By the time we went to sleep there was about 3 inches of snow and it was still going to snow the whole night and into Thursday.
Thursday morning we woke up and had to drive an hour up to Green Bay for Zone conference. The roads were super snowy but we managed to make it! I'm sure glad we were inside that day having that 6 hour zone conference rather than being outside in that blizzard.. Lots of missionaries ended up staying the night in Green Bay because they weren't able to make it back to their area. Elder Amann was persistent that he wanted to make it back so we drove home and it was scary but we were able to make it back safely..
On Friday we went to Granny's again. She wasn't expecting us though due to it being Good Friday but we showed up and was able to have a good lesson with her. She didn't have us do any work because she hadn't prepared anything but we showed up when she really needed us.. She had a rough week and really needed our support.
We also met with Vince and was able to have a great lesson with him. He's having a really hard time with his marriage and could use prayers. We also met with Crystal, Josh and Luke again. Sarah wasn't able to make it.. We taught them the Plan of Salvation. Crystal and Josh have been reading the BoM together and they say they feel peace and comfort when reading it so that's great! We talked about baptism but didn't set a firm date with them yet. We will do that this week.
Saturday morning Tai Iualualo took us out to breakfast. Tai moved from Samoa to Chilton when he was 14. His family was super active in Samoa but ever since moving 8 years ago they haven't been too active.. He has sincere desires to come back to church and get his life straight again. He wants to go on a mission but hes totally not prepared too.. Were going to work with him over the next couple of weeks and help him change his life around!
Later that day, we did some service for our ward mission leader and had a really good lesson with John. We brought Brother Guest along. After our lesson one of John's friends from youth showed up and we were able to talk with him. His name is Jens. (silent J, so it sounds like Yenz) Jens has really been looking for a church and has had a lot of experiences lately that has driven him to want to find Christ. It was PERFECT timing for him to show up. So he's going to meet with us with John next week and were really excited to start teaching him too!
Sunday was really good! We had church and then had an Easter dinner with the Darnell's. We spent the rest of the day studying and visiting less actives. Merlin, an investigator from Beaver Dam managed to get a hold of my number and called to see how I was doing and to wish me a Happy Easter! That was a great surprise :) Merlin is great.
Anyways. Lots of good stuff going on here!
I Love and Miss you all!
