Hello brothers (Elders) and sisters

I hope you all had a good week. Mine was definitely an interesting one.

Alex is still on board for being baptized which is awesome! He's getting baptized this Saturday so keep him in your prayers.

We did a Bible Study with a sweet 90 year old Baptist lady she was awesome. We went over Matthew 5 (the sermon on the mount) and it was a fun Bible study she talked about her adventures living on a farm it was great

I also met the guy who made Apples to Apples and word on the street and others. we helped him put the cover over his pool for the winter. It was so funny talking to him about that and how he sold apples to apples and now he's making a game called Here comes the Judge on our phones like apples to apples. Anyways what a guy. He's in our Branch

I was studying the scriptures and one of the greatest conversion stories is in Alma 24. And it talks about the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and how they made a covenant to lay down and bury their weapons of war and how then the Lamanites are coming up to battle against them and how they leave their city and kneel down in front of the army and pray to God and how 1000 of them were murdered and then the Lamanites stop what they are doing and repent of what they did and are converted unto God. I want to testify that life may be easy but that God has a plan for each of us. He knows us. He loves us. And he wants the best for us. I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone. We all chose to come down to this earth. People around us are just waiting to hear about the restored Gospel. Love you all hope you have a great week. Keep praying for miracles!

Wisconsin Culture: the People here in Wisconsin are so willing to help and help out. They are willing to serve and help their neighbors. I see a lot of attributes of Jesus Christ here in Wisconsin. Yes! even in a state full of Beer and cheese
