Hello!

 Hey everyone well this week has been really good for us here in the Frogtown area!!! Its been fun getting back on the bike and feeling like a real missionary without a car ha ha!! The car always seems nice when we are biking ha ha but oh well! 

This week we set another date with a lady who is married and has 5 kids under 8. The father won't be ready for baptism for a little bit but we set her's for May 25! We are looking forward to 3 baptisms this month and hopefully they all go through!

Last week for p day we were playing basketball and I dominate everyone you know ha ha!! but after that we played dodge ball and Elder Abbott got hit super hard in the eye. I was like "oh man!" his eye was all swollen and he couldn't see out of it!! We went back to the apartment and he was acting funny and I was like, "Dude you got a concussion" and he was like, "no I don't" I was like, "dude you do! I have seen allot of them and I have had one before!" Later that night he called us and he was like, "man I threw up today!"  and I was like, "dude I told you, you had a concussion!!!" but now he is doing better and he can see out of it and so its all good! :)

 

It's really great! We are teaching allot and we are really busy and its been fun.

This week we had a zone training meeting and some Elder's from Wisconsin were supposed to come but it ended up they couldn't because where they were got 18 inches of snow!! It is crazy!! The weather is so bi-polar but oh well, i think it should start to warm up this week! I'm not use to the warm weather ha ha I'm just used to the cold! 

We had a great zone training though we talked about just how to deepen our study's and stuff and I really love what Elder Holland says about personal study he says that missionaries make there mission during the personal study hours that we are God's investigators at that time and that we need to use that time wisley! I read an amazing talk this week it's by Pres. Uchtdorf. I will post the link for you: https://www.lds.org/liahona/2006/07/on-the-wings-of-eagles?lang=eng 

It talks about relying on the Holy Ghost and things like that! I was reading in Ether this week and I was reading when God touches the stones for the brother of Jared, and as I thought to myself when God talks about the waves of the see and the winds will push them along I know those are like life's trials.... they appear bad and horrible to us but once we get through them we have grown to be a better person. We have reached the promise land and I look at how God works with us! Our trials may seem bad but they allow progression and change in our lives so that we can become Gods faithful sons and daughters! 

Well I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week! Happy birthday Hunter love you and miss you a ton! #Brotherlylove!

   Love,
