I should be 5 years old

This week was a very interesting week.

So we went gray dot knocking (people that have been taught in the past) and and we knocked on a couple doors and absolutely no one answered or they answered and shooed us away. So this one place was a duplex so we knocked the other side of this gray dot and this guy named who answered and he was really awesome. A funny encounter too. We taught him the restoration and he liked it a lot. Then I said "Do you like to read?" And he said "Yea I love to read I was actually about to go to the library to get a book" then I said "well here you go" and I handed him the Book of Mormon opened up to 3 Nephi 11 and he started to read it. That wasn't my intentions but it worked out. We were able to talk about Jesus Christ coming to the people of Ancient America  it was sweet!

As a missionary you get the greatest blessing on earth and get an hour to your self of just studying and it is an escape where I get to leave all the stress of being a missionary. Something I learned recently from the scriptures is in Mosiah 18:30 "...how beautiful are they to the eyes of them who there came to the knowledge of their Redeemer; yea, and how blessed are they for they shall sing to his praise forever." Now before the mission I knew my Savior and my Redeemer. But I now know and can say with a sound understanding that Jesus Christ is My Redeemer. That he loves us all infinitly and that his Atonement if for all of His children. That Wisconsin has become my waters of Mormon. President Murphy talked about this but I recently read it and it kind of struck me. 

Love you all so much don't forget to study your scriptures and increase your testimony of him. Because in an instant your testimony can be gone if you don't nourish it

Wisconsin Culture: I don't know if I've said this but people that are more senior in age that are in wisconsin. Like 99/100 times they were born and raised in Wisconsin. I guess when you find some place you like why leave?! I guess they just like wisconsin that much. And people that weren't raised there can't handle the cold
