Transfer 12 Week 3

This week was really good. We started off the week with another crazy miracle!

We were at the church on Monday for Terry's appointment. (The lady that just walked into the church asking for the pastor) So the appointment was at 1 and she didn't show up.. but another guy at 1:30 walked into the building and literally asked the same exact question.. He asked if he could talk to the pastor. We explained we didn't have a pastor, but a bishop, which is similar and we gave him the number to our bishop. He wasn't able to get in contact with him at that moment so he expressed himself to us. He's a recovering alcoholic that had been sober for 9 days at that time. He needed a little extra cash to do laundry. I gave him 10 dollars. He expressed that he had been to other churches that day and nobody had helped him out, and he was interested in what we believed so we set up an appointment for that day at 5:30. We were a little skeptical about him at first but he ended up showing up to the appointment at 5:30 with a friend! We had an amazing spiritual lesson with James and Brandi, and they both wanted to learn more! He called us and told us our message really touched him and was very interested to learn more so we set up another lesson with him on Friday but he got called into work.. I'm pretty sure he met with bishop on Sunday though so were pretty excited for him.. Just walking into the church was pretty crazy.. 

On Tuesday we went on exchanges. I went with Elder Kelly, he just came from Beaver Dam (one of my previous areas) so we were able to talk a lot about the area and the people! Elder Kelly is really awesome and a great missionary. 

We were finally able to make it out to Chilton this week. We only had a couple of hours so we visited the more solid people and its great to see that there is still a lot of potential in Chilton! We were able to get in contact with a lot of people we hadn't seen in a long time. Remember Crystal, Josh, Luke, Sarah and Ethan? We haven't been in contact with them for a long time and we stopped by, they weren't home, so we left a card with our number on it, telling them to give us a call! The next day, Crystal texted and we set up a time to meet on Saturday! So we were able to come back to Chilton and have an awesome lesson with Crystal, Josh and one of their new friends Brent. They're all still super interested! We taught the Restoration because Brent hadn't heard it yet and he had soo many questions and showed a lot of interest. Pretty sweet. We'll have to try and make it out to Chilton more.. its just hard because of miles!

We were able to see Pao Xiong again.. The Hmong guy that just talked to us for like an Hour and a half. Our ward had a clothing swap, so we picked up a bunch of clothes for him and were able to give it to him. He was super grateful. Elder LaRose taught him the Restoration and he knows this will help him in his life. 

Welp, I think those were most of the main points of the week.. Things are going great though! We're working with a lot of awesome people.

Elder Stevens.

I didn't even know Wisconsin had these..
