We got jammed....Rasberry
Elder Dockter and i got jammed yesterday again as none of our investigators came to church..We have a ton of people with a lot of potential and i believe that a few will get baptized if we can just get them to chucrh. Our lessionas are going great with Grieselda, Myra and Jamie all of which are looking great. Although i dont say much i can feel the spirit and can see them learning and loving our lessons we teach them. We dont tract very much as we have so many people we see regurly during the week. Its really cool. I can see at leats 1 of them getting baptized afeter i leave Sheboygan in a few weeks. Well our week was fun and busy. I went on exchanges with the zone leaders and spent some time in Appleton and then i got to go to Spansih confrence at teh mission home in Greendale, when all the spanish missionareis in the mission (20 of them) meet and have afun day of food and games and other things. I was lucky to go since not many english Elders get to attend. Well hopefully next week i can reprt some investigators coming to churhc. Till then..hasta luego.

I know, i know, its called a Belgium dip
Okay so the last two weeks have been great in Sheboygan. Firstly the Spanish deal isnt gonna happen. Im not gonna switch. the language is too difficlut to learn with such limited time to study so ill be staying Elglish which means ill finish the transfer here and probably get transferred at the end of the month. Im cool with it. it was my decision. Well the weather here is so crzyy. Some days of hot and humid in the 80's as you sweat alot and my shirt sticks to me and our apartment turns into a sauna. Weve had some crazy midwest thunderstorms, way more excitng than back in Seattle and then nice crsip days like today. The work is going alright. Were teaching a few people that speak English, which is nice as i can participate but the Spanish appointments can get quite borning for me. We have high hopes for Grieselda. She's in her 30's and has two small kids and shes feeding us alot and our appoinments go well. She hasnt made it to church yet but when she does we know she'll liek it. We have a feeling that she will get baptized. Elder Docktor is way cool. Were having fun even though he talks abour girls and dating and swimming and all this stuff hes gonna do in Augus when he gets home. In a nutshell life is like that scen in Shawshank Redemption when Andy Dufraine and his buddies are chuggin back beer's on the roof of the prison after a hard days work. (minus the beer of course). Well i wish you all a fun June week.
