"Now watch me whi... Slip!" and no nae nae.. Weston Poulson 1/18/2016

All you older people wont get the title to this email but its a song and a dance that is really dumb but it has some funny meaning behind it. This week was awesome because we got to go do service for a brother in our ward! We went to Menards (Home Depot) to pick up 66 sheets of dry wall! and it was 5 degrees outside when we started but it did warm up to 9! That's not counting wind chill. Anyways we got to Menards and there was a HUGE pile of snow in the middle of their lumbar yard so naturally we took a Squad pic and I'm not sure what elder Norris is doing in this picture, maybe its something new.. not sure!;)

Elder Norris in Blue sweatshirt. None of us were prepared for it to be THAT cold haha

Anyways so after this service project, me being the newest missionary they all wanted me to show them how to whip and nae nae. Something my cousin Seth wanted me to do for him all summer and I wouldn't do it, i found our why. I was like, "Sure whats the worst that could happen" and so we're walking down a little hill on the sidewalk back to the minivan and i decided to throw the hardest whip in the south side of Milwaukee and well, i found out how hard the ground was on the south side of Milwaukee! haha I ate it pretty good on the ice!

But this week the Martin family was not able to make it to church. We'll work harder this week but something cool happened as we were walking out of their house on Wednesday night. We passed a woman and naturally i say "Yo, what it is" .. Nah! haha i say "Hi! hows it going?" and she said "ohh good" and kept waking. About 15 steps later, we here "Elders! Elders!" so we turned around and she was like "That's what I thought!" and told us about how she used to meet with the missionaries 10 years ago but she wasn't ready back then to challenge but wants to meet with us again. We returned Friday and she said that she is fully ready now to do what it takes to make the full change in her life. (Her name is Ruth by the way) and so we gave her a baptism date in February that she can work towards! So far so good with Ruth! I hope she's legit! 

 

 Later this week we went back to the house that we did service for just to stop by and see if he needed any help and so we helped him put a sheet of Dry Wall up and it felt good to get back into a construction atmosphere, I wont lie! hah so something I learned form my dad since I was young that you can put time capsules in your projects and maybe someone will find it one day and think its cool! so we did!

This is what we put in a wall! shortly after Hermano Martinez showed me 100 year old magazines he found in a wall there as well! anyways that was something cool!

The weather here is kind of weird. Its always "Cold" but when it hits 30 im like happy! haha something my brother will have a hard time imagining but two days ago we had to run for a bus and then wait an hour for a bus in -2 degree weather. (Wind chill made it -25 haha) anyways! something cool about this is that the moisture from your breath freezes on your face and eyelashes! not kidding! heres a pictures of Elder Neves hat and lashes!

 

So that's ice on his eyes and hat! haha it's fun though!

Well a lot happened this week! we worked hard and got 8 new investigators but there is no way to fit all this in the time I have! Love you all! Peace!

 Love Elder Weston Poulson
