A bit of this and that..

Hello all!
            This week has been great! Let's see... So much happens every week but then I look back and can't remember anything! Elder Pacella and Elder Foust had a baptism! He's a man named Nick who's really amazing - he finished the whole Book of Mormon in about 3 weeks and has an amazing testimony of the church! It was great to be there and feel the amazing feeling there. 

Another funny thing - my companion Elder Day has a girlfriend who is serving a mission in Peru right now. Her mom apparently loves hiking and kayaking, wears Birkenstocks, tie die shirts, and bandannas, and loves granola. I was just thinking, "Yep, that's my family. And almost everybody I know back in Wisconsin..." But anyway, she sent us a five pound bag of granola, so we've been enjoying that...

We're teaching a few amazing people right now really regularly! One of them just went up and visited a friend at UW Madison and then drove back down to Florida, driving through Stoughton. That was pretty cool - he said that Stoughton is a "nice little town". That's accurate.

This weekend was General Conference for our church, and it was amazing! The Prophet and the Twelve Apostles, along with some other church leaders, spoke in several sessions of a broadcast to everybody in the church, talking about things that can really help us spiritually in these times. It was really amazing and I learned a lot about the importance of sincere prayer.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great week! Stay happy!

(Here are some pictures from this week.)

Granola! I has coconut and is really good. In case anybody was wondering, I had some for breakfast this morning, mixed with yogurt and a banana. It was good.
This is John! He's a new member and loves missionaries, which we love. Sometimes, he'll just randomly bring us gatorade while we're on campus. We appreciate it.


Here we are driving... I love these Elders so much, they're all amazing. Elder Foust is the one in sunglasses - he's going home in 2 weeks. It's pretty weird.

  1. Hi Elder! I just thought I'd pop in to say that I love your blog posts, both the whole context of what you do on your mission and the funny details. It brings both the Spirit and laughter to me when I read. Keep up the good work!
    Love, Katrin
