Zarahemla-Blanchardville

Hello all!

This week has been a really fun week, we have seemed to have a lot going on which caused us to not have a ton of time to actually do missionary work.... but it was still a very eventful week! We had a good exchange at the beginning of the week with the Dodgeville Elders. I went with a wonderful elder, Elder Hill. And we had a good time in the good ol D-Ville. We went to the most popular place among missionaries there for lunch called Bob's BBQ, it is phenomenal! Good food and good times with Elder Hill. The rest of the week we had meetings, so on Wednesday we had our interviews with President Williams, and then I went over to Milwaukee with one of our assistants Elder Vang for the day! It was interesting for sure.... that was one of the rudest I have ever been treated on my mission! We had a pretty interesting guy answer a door and yell at us to leave his property, then as we knocked on the next 2 doors away from him he continued to yell each time we knocked "Keep it movin"... so that was hard not to reply, but good thing I don't have too crazy of a temper. Pretty sure he watched us for the whole rest of the street, so at least he sacrificed some time to see what we were about(;

Then on Friday we had MLC! Always fun to see a lot of other missionaries and even got to see Elder Udy this time around! Its pretty cool to have kids that I knew in high school in the same mission as me. It's a good time! We had a lesson with our refugee friends on Saturday and it was really spiritual and good! Safarani accepted an invitation to be baptized on June 29th, so hopefully we can help her get ready to be baptized by then! We were also able to help Josephine understand a little better the reason that she needs to be baptized again. So I think it is all going well!

That's the most of our week, it was busy, the weather was constantly changing, and we had fun while we worked! I hope you all have had a wonderful week! I love you all, keep killin it! And enjoy some spring while it lasts!

Oh I almost forgot, this picture of the sign is in a tiny town called Blanchardville. It was originally settled by members of the church and they called it Zarahemla. But they changed the name... sad day, but we still got a plaque!
