Wisconsin is a wonderful place . . . if you can withstand the mosquitos

Well honestly this week has not been very eventful, besides the fact that I counted 16 mosquito bites on my legs. I guess I am going to have to start wearing bug spray instead of perfume. All day yesterday we literally tried to contact every less active and former investigator that we could, and no one answered their door. So that was interesting. We did have a really cool miracle this week though.

Last week at church a member told us about this less active girl who has been going through a lot of hard things and she is ready to come back to church, but she doesn't really know any of the doctrine because she was just baptized at 8 years old and that was it. So we contacted her and her husband let us right in, they are thee sweetest couple. And they both really want to be taught and they both want to come back to church. And he isn't even a member yet, so hopefully we can get him baptized. 

Also there is a man who we have been teaching and he hasn't really progressed too much because his wife is anti, but this past Wednesday we got his wife to come to the church to do family history and they were able to find some good leads on her family history, so she is planning on coming back in a couple of weeks to do some more. Their son and daughter also came to the church and they both played capture the flag with the youth and we were able to give a Book of Mormon to the son. So that was pretty exciting. 

On Saturday we had a young woman come out with us because she wants to serve a mission and it was so funny. We were walking around the baseball park giving out cards and talking to people and she was just super freaked out, like she couldn't believe what we were doing. Then we tracted for a bit and when someone accepted an offer to pray with us she squealed, I think it freaked them out a little bit, but they still prayed with us :) We also helped a part member family with service and it was SO FUN! We basically just got to play in the dirt, and pull out weeds and vines and little stumps, I loved it so much. I hope you all have a super great week! 

Love,

Sister Koyle
