hey everybody!

This week was crazy amazing! We had exchanges on Wednesday so I got to go to Greenbay home of the Packers! Loved it so much. We walked by the Fox river at night and it was beautiful! So much fun.

1-6 week training was friday so..... I got to see Sister Harris!!!!... and my old MTC district. It was great, we had so much fun catching up and we learned a lot too. Practiced teaching with the pamphlets and the pictures in the book of mormon. Interesting but useful.

Friday night we had an oct-taco fest in our ward for a fundraiser for the young men. Well there was an auction for food items and such but we had to leave early. Lets just say that the branch is amazing and thinks of its missionaries cuz we received most of the food in the next days. Snickerdoodles, zuchini bread, homemade bread, and ghost cookies!

Saturday we had a baptism here in Stevens Point! It was the Elders investigator and we were so excited! It was my first and the Spirit was so strong, William was excited, and such a big event that Elder Warren and Sister Bennett (past missionaries got clearance to come too). We also had an investigator Joyce come to the baptism and she thought it was really neat. Sister Martin also sang and brought the Spirit in Come thou Fount. Amazing night.

Sunday, I spoke in church on the Sermon on the Mount. Joyce came (my first that attended church) so we were pretty stoked.

Stevens Point is weird and exactly opposite of Utah. Each year this city holds its trick or treating on a Sunday. Not on Halloween! weird, so the members drive to Wapaca so they can trick or treat too. Found it interesting. We can't be out past 530 that night so no trick or treating for us or handing out Book of Mormons as candy. :)

Also, challenge. Try Limberger cheese. I did this week brought by Brother Taplin. Well it smells worse than stinky feet. like really, but hey it doesn't taste too bad!

Great week. Lots of great experiences filled with the Spirit. The work is really moving here in Stevens Point!
