La Pascua and MUNCHED ANKLES Weston Poulson 3/22/2016

Well, this week went by QUICK! To start things off we had a zone conference on tuesdayII I Learned a lot about the Restoration of the church of Jesus Christ. Our mission, as I've said before, have a goal to teach the first vision 4000 times by Easter! Our zone teaches it more than any other zone in the mission. It's safe to say we put the team on our backs! haha no but me and Elder Neves tracted after zone conference and I saw this cool alleyway as we were riding by so I wanted to knock it! And take a cool picture;)


Anyways so we found a guy named Alejandro! He said we could come back on Saturday to teach him more about our church. He actually has a lot of friends in Idaho who are of our church I guess! But what is cool about this is that he came through with his commitment. We showed up Saturday morning and he was home!!! And he told us his family went out to eat breakfast together but he told them he had to stay because we were coming! In my area this is a MIRACLE! MILAGRO for those of the spanish culture! haha seriously I was so happy! He couldn't make it to church yesterday but he said he could this week so keep him in your prayers! We were assigned to find the first bishop when our branch becomes a ward. My money's on him! 

Hah but something funny, I mean FUNNY happened this week! So we were walking to our bus stop when Elder Neves tried to troll me and pretended that we needed to run for the bus! I knew better, I knew when it was coming so he didn't fool me but karma sure did catch up to him real quick!! As he stopped running and was at a regular human walking pace, he turned his head to say something like "dangit, I thought I'd getcha!" or something of that nature I couldn't tell because of what happened! "GET ON WITH IT" but he just stepped on the edge part of the sidewalk where the grass starts and his poor little ankle like flipped inside out! ahha he dropped like a sack of potatoes!! I immediately knew it was bad so I really tried not to laugh, I PROMISE! but I couldn't bite my lip any harder! hah he had a balled up fist ready to go once I got close enough. Anyways he had a hard time walking that night but the best part is the next day. He wanted to ride bikes! hah he turned it again on the slope of the sidewalk!! haha help me come up with a nickname for his ankles! It's too good, I thought I had bad ankles! 

ANYWAYS! good week though. One of our investigators invited us to watch him play his guitar at a church! it was cool, he did a good job! I took a selfie.. These churches are everywhere here! talk about a great and spacious building! The weather has been hovering around 37-44 degrees and i just want it to skip this phase and go to summer! I guess it might snow this week so we'll see. 

Here's a pic of me with downtown Milwaukee in the background! (Yes I'm cutting my hair!)
This week's Spiritual thingy is on acquiring a testimony of the Book Of Mormon. I'll ask you this, do you have a testimony of it? I won't be a hypocrite! I didn't but the only way you can get one is to READ IT! It's the word of God and will testify of its truth every time you read it as long as you do so with a open heart with real intent! 

But that's about it for this week! I always remember stuff later on through pday sorry! but I'll get better, I promise! I hit 5 months out today! Pretty cool:) movin' on! 

Love yall! have a great week!  
HOLD IT DOWN!;)
