JOHNSON IN WISCONSIN

Hello all. Elder Gent and i had a great week. We taught 15 lessons and made honor roll. It was awesome. We taught a ton of people off of tracting. Yesterday we taught a 14 year old boy, Colton who has come to chucrch the past 3 weeks. He said that he feels that this is the true church and he loves being there. His mom is a less active member. He has a ton of potential for baptism. We should be able to get him baptized by the end of the transfer on Feb 23. That would be so cool. We had another great appointment with Michael and Krystal, a couple that we tracted into last week. We showed them the Restoration DVD and commited them to pray and read about the BOM and Jospeh Smith. It was just an overall great week. The work here has really picked up the last 2 weeks and my love for the work has grown a ton. Well my mail income has tapered down to like 1-2 letters a week so it would be nice to hear from somebody. I know you all have my mission address. Im still having a great time nonetheless. Cyanara.

Thats the sound of the Seahawks going to the superbowl. I knew it would happen. The first time i cant watch it they will be there. Its okay though. Serving the mission is more important. This past week was a good one in Janesville. We found 3 new investigators from tracting and we had a bunch of appointments this weekend. We still havent set a date with Rebecca but we did meet with her twice. She has a few court dates and has to get her own place to live before she gets her kids back. The good news is that she hasnt smoked for a week. We got 6 inches of snow on Friday so it was nice to see that again. While tracting i was inviting an older lady on her doorstep when her big dog peed all over my left shoe and leg. I didnt even notice till it was finished. Then it started steaming as it was cold outside. I invited another lady who told me she was a wicken or white witch. She looked like one too. That was the highligts of my past week here in Janesville.

Transfers have come and gone and Elder Gent and I are here in Janesville for another 6 weeks. Elder Torgersons boy arrived a bit late on saturday but he's here nontheless. Elder Mangum is his name. This past week we had very litttle progress. We didnt meet with Rebecca this past week so we still havens set a date with her yet but we plan too. While tracting we ran into a few people who yelled out at us CANT YOU READ because they had NO SOLICITING signs on their doorsteps. Firstly we arent selling anyhthing and secondly were only inviting them to come unto Christ and gain their salvation. Not my problem just funny when they get so mad at us for knocking. Anyways its still like spring out here. We had a high of 52 the other day. Unheard of in January around here. One more thing, Wisconsin doesnt require any form of car insurance so ther are a ton of beat up cars on the road. Its funny to see all these cars with big ol dents in them. Well hopefully ill have more exciting news next week. Bye.

We got news last week that Elder Torgerson will be training a brand new missionary here in Janesville this week. This week is transfer week and most likely Elder Gent and i will be staying here and Elder Torgerson and his baby will be here as well. It will be great for me not to be the new one anymore. In fact today is my two month mark on the mission (MTC included) and by Thursday ill have completed my first transfer in Wisconsin. (A transfer is 6 weeks). The work her continues to go slow although Elder Gent and i might set a baptismal date this week for Rebecca. Were shooting for early February and she still has to get to church and quit smoking (shes improved a ton the last two weeks). FYI a baptismal date is only a goal and means nothing till you get them in the water therfore im not getting overly excited yet. She wants to get baptized but we still need her to show the effort to get there. Other than that weve been working a lot with less actives and doing plenty of tracting, even though we havent been tracting in snow. Its been to warm to snow lately and most of it is gone. It even rained a few times on us. Thats all ive got.
