Hey everyone! Exciting news! Gas prices have been dropping the last few months and it's gone from like 3 somethin to 1.96!!! Good time to be a poor college student.
Also, the Packers won the play off game against the Cowboys! Lookin to be in the superbowl as I'm serving in Green Bay. Woohoo! haha but really it was quite the challenge being on the sabbath and all. We drove past Lambeau field on our way to an appt and the road is closed! People are selling their lawns for 10-40 dollars. Even saw cars parked in a local lutheran church lawn. Big day! Then at church, we were really nervous about attendance. Being that we have 1-4 church, it was perfectly interfeering with the game which means some people went to the other ward 9-12. But, we and Bishop Jensen were excited to see the faithful latter day saints that came to church. (we were happy to get updates from everyone as well)
We had a big focus on church attendance this week with our investigators. A few of them (feels like a theme) are a little harder with this particular commitment because they have another church they love. Logically in Sister Roylance's head is that if this is Christ's true church headed by Christ himself (which it is) then wouldn't everyone want to drop their other church and flock to ours??? Workin on it!
We had a great lesson with Tony this week. He knows the Book of Mormon is true. He loves what he's learning but his fiance is holding him back from coming to church. Well, our church. We had a fantastic lesson in Bishop Jensen's home this week with Tony and Bishop was perfect. Now Tony is going to work to come this week or the next. That's a huge improvement!
Also, Bishop at ward council and in sacrament meeting showed his excitement about Tony to the whole ward. So everyone will know who he is when he does show :) Bishop, he is so funny. Gotta love it!Also, the Packers won the play off game against the Cowboys! Lookin to be in the superbowl as I'm serving in Green Bay.

Kim and Mady, a recent convert/less active mom and daughter came to church this week! Kim is struggling emotionally and physically and she has a testimony that church helps. It was so great to finally see her there and hope to help this to continue! She needs a lot of love from the ward.
Things are great in Green Bay. Chris is a rock solid convert and came to church even while the play off game for the packers was playing! He also received the Aaronic Priesthood. Double the goodness. Well, triple because we also had a lesson with him that night doing his new member lessons.
Cool experience with Chris is that this week we invited him and Jenni to accompany us to a lesson with our investigator Marcus. Well, for Chris this was in between jobs. Got off one and an hour later off to the other. Jenni reasoned that he didn't have to help us, she could alone. He said, "No, I'm a member now and I want to help" Legit!!!!
Oh and Chris and Jenni are unoffically officially getting married one year after his confirmation date exactly! They'll be sealed in the Chicago temple on December 22 2015 and their reception will be New Years Eve. This is inside scoop. There will soon be a ring on it! I'll definitely have to go back for that :)
Well, that's all from me!
