Another great week in Sheboygan Wisconsin. The leaves are beginning to change! For three days this week it was extreemly foggy. The air was full of rain but it stormed on and off. But if you walked outside the water you touched in the air would just collect on you. There were some great lightning storms and we got to break out our rain coats and umbrellas. We have continued to attempt to stop by a long list of people that the other missionaries have given us and as usual about half of the people aren't home, the other half are but half of them aren't interested. The final quarter of them are split up into people that we have lessons with and people who aren't home when we have lessons set up. So that is hard to see so little of the people we plan on teaching actually being taught but those we do manage to teach actually want to learn. This week we get to go to early morning semminary and talk about the Book of Mormon. Their semminary starts at 5:45 in the morning which means we have to get up at 4:45, but I'm pumped! I miss seminary!
We do have quite a few people we are meeting with who have a sincere desire to learn, one is the Bishop's neighbor who we have seen before but he and his wife have been on a two week trip visiting family so we have a lesson set up with them. The Bishop is coming along with us so that is already going to be an amazing experience! Another woman has always believed in God but doesn't understand why good people die before their time. It will be an amazing lesson to share with her the Plan of Salvation and the peace, comfort, and knowledge that it brings. With the other people who we have been teaching, they are still as busy as ever, which is so sad to see because we can tell that they want and need the gospel in their lives but can't find time for it.
Have an amazing week everyone. I know that Jesus Christ is always there waiting, we simply need to turn to Him.
