JOHNSON IN WISCONSIN

That quote is from Dodgeball. Well i got a big surprise for transfers. Im goign into a spanish zebra which means that i spend a transfer with a spanish speaking missionary and he teaches me the language and i try and learn it and i can possiobly become spanish speaking missionary the remainder of my mission. Im learng alot so far and can already bare my testimony and pray in Spanish. I got moved up to Sheboygan on the coast of Lake Michigan an hour north of Milwaukee. My new comapnion, Elder Dockter is from Cali and is way cool. he is teache me spanish and were having fun. ill keep you posted on my progress with learnign. Just dont get to excited as this is only a trial and i may not switch so spanish. It all depedns upon how well i learn and the needs of the mission. Nonetheless this will be an interesting 6 weeks as i can spak much right now and we only do spansih work so when we teach i just sit there and he does all the talking. Well life is still good. Take care. Adios.

Hello. I got to talk to my family yesterday which was pretty cool. Im really enjoying my mission right now. This week is transfers so im on pins and needles wondering if i am leaving Milwaukee. ive been her three months so its possible. I know that Elder Devin Williams needs a comapnion over in Appleton so ive been praying for that. We'll see. Ill be happy either way. I love the city but at the same time i wouldnt mind going somewhere up North in the county to spend the summer. I could use a break from all the people. On a side note can anybody that actually reads this psot a comment that way i can see who actually reads this. Just curious on how my ratings are. Thanks. Love you all. And for those of you that compalin about my typing errors, im a missionary and i dont have time to type really slow and proofread my stuff. Sorry.

Yep. A quarter of my mission has past. Tomorrow officaly marks my 6 month mark on my mission. Ive had two areas and 5 companions (including the MTC) and have learned and grown a ton thus far. Mission life is defenitly a round of ups and downs. Wisconsin has some of the craziest weather patterns. Ive enjoyed my stay here thus far. Im really looking forward to the 18 months remaing i have to serve. Im determined to improve and get fully lost in the work as their have been times, especially in Milwaukee when ive not had myself fully into the work . My time is precious and im not gonna waste any more of it or take it for granted. I wish you all a wonderful summer and look forward to my year address in 6 months.

Hell all. The last two weeks have gone well. Terrance, the man who wrote us the letter, has been to church every week and has progressed quite well. He wants to get baptized although he may not need to as he may be less accountable. He does have some sort of learning disability but we'll see. We are now 10-2 playing ball in the hood. Im loving this area and having tons of fun with my companions, Elders Spencer and Mulford. I turned 20 about 10 days ago so i feel pretty old. My Uncle Merril was in milwakee on a business trip and hung out with us for a bit. Seeing Merrill was pretty cool. He took us out to a red robin type place on th river downtown. It was fun to see someone in my previous life. After a while out here its as if everyone you knew before the mission is dead. These are my friends now. This is my home. You know that you arent gonna go home and that your stuck with this lifestyle so you just accept it and move on. You get pretty content with what youve got out here and it anit much. No tv, music (well none i wanna listen to) just wearing a suit and tie knocking on doors and teaching people. Day in and day out. You just get used to it i guess. Im having tons of fun. Tow awesome companions and a great area. Im reallly cherishing this transfer as i may not have another one like it. Eventually ill go somewhwhere up north where there is nothing to do but till then ill enjoy Milwaukee. Peace.
