COLD! Weston Poulson 1/11/2016

This week was a huge week to say the least but I don't have a lot of time at all. Today our p-day (planning or play) schedule went nothing as planned to conserve as much time as possible. Usually we go do our laundry, shop, eat lunch at Pizza Hut all at the same time! But Wisconsin had some other plans in mind for us! So far since I've been here it's been pretty nice weather! Only got down to like 20 degrees but the last two days, the high has been around 10! So we went to do our laundry this morning and all of our detergent (we leave it all in the zone leaders van because we ride with them on pdays) was FROZEN! So we ran other errands this morning and put it on the floor next to the feet heaters and blasted the heater on it! So we just started our laundry and basically our soap was more like slushy but I think it still works..
We had a Zone Training meeting this week out in Kenosha and so I got to go see Lake Michigan! It looks like the ocean.. It was so nice to travel out of the big city and go see the country of Wisconsin!

This week was transfers though and my companion who I thought I would be with a lot longer is getting up graded to Zone Leader! I'll still see him like 3 times a week in case I need help but now I have to take over the area and know where everything is! HAH! The streets are all named and its so confusing compared to Utah.. oh well, you know I'm good for it!! My new companion is Elder Neves. He played basketball for Payson High School so this will be so fun!

This week we had finally got one of our families to commit and come to church with us. The dad was our hardest challenge through this and then all of the sudden in our lesson before this Sunday (Friday I think) the family started answering his suspicions instead of us and they were testifying about how the way we pray makes more sense than how they pray! It was so awesome because it's not even a part member family! So now my companion (Elder Reina) has been pressuring me to stay on them no matter what and work hard with them, and I will!

This morning we took the trash out and I noticed some fairly familiar tracks in our yard so I decided I'd try my best to find it!!
Obviously my hunting and stalking skills are off cause I never did find it! Just a little rusty that's all.. I'll just have to practice more in a couple years;)

Love and miss you all so much! Thanks to all of you for being so supportive! 

~Elder (Wes) Poulson
