Thanksgiving/Greenie

Well this week was a blast! We left on Monday to start all the transfer stuff. We drove to Madison and got there and said goodbye to Elder Nielson. He is serving there now. But then we drove to Milwaukee for the night and stayed there until Tuesday about 2. I found out who my trainee is, his name is Elder Record! He is from Clearfield, and he is super cool! We get along really well! He played the cello in high school, so he is much more musically inclined than me. But we had a really good week! It has been a little bit stressful training. We have a lot of work to do, and we stayed really busy. So his 2nd full day here was Thanksgiving, and that is a super weird day as a missionary. We were with members almost the entire day. But we had a really good dinner at one of the members homes. It is a little different just being in a companionship, but it is fun. After our dinner on Thanksgiving we went to our ward mission leaders house for a little bit and his brother was there. It was a really good time! Thanksgiving was for sure the highlight of the week, but we started singing Christmas hymns in church so that was good too!

Spiritual Thought: This talk came up twice this week and I really enjoyed it the first time as well. It was Elder Holland's talk in this last conference titled "Be ye therefore perfect, eventually" If you don't remember it or haven't listened to it I strongly suggest it. He talks at the end of it about how we shouldn't judge how people are walking along the path. There might be a drunk man wavering in his journey home, but at least he is getting home. We are all stumbling and wavering in our own way, and as long as we are striving to get back to our Heavenly Father we will be just fine. It is a great talk all around! Listen to it! https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/10/be-ye-therefore-perfect-eventually?lang=eng

So everyone thinks Wisconsin should be really cold right now, and it is cold, but not that bad. Friday was super warm, it was like 60 I think. So it feels about the same as I remember Utah for now. I am sure it will get there, but no snow yet here! Thanks for all your support! Have a great week!
