Milwaukee, Its Been Great! Onto LAKE MILLS!! Weston Poulson May 23, 2016

So I got the text yesterday and I'm being transferred to Lake Mills, WI! I'm going to miss Milwaukee a little but I'll definitely miss the members here! Especially Moises, Alvaro and Payo. I'll never forget those three men, That's for sure! I'm going to miss them! 
But onto a new area, keep the work progressing! I'm going to serve with Elder DeSantis. He's white, first of all ahah and also he's from like Skyline for all you playing at home who try to figure it out! haha have fun. 

This week we had Payo's (Juan Pablo) baptism! it went so awesome! We had moises give a talk on baptism. He was really nervous so we all helped him write it out then we just wrote "Testimony" at the end. Well, he didn't disappoint. At the end of his talk he bore his testimony and also said how grateful he was for his little brother Payo to have made the decision to follow Christ's example.
Then what he said next nearly brought the roof down.. *he said it in spanish but.. you get it* "...Payo I'm so happy you made the decision to follow the example of Christ and be baptized and now I want to invite my parents to do the same." WHY DO I GET TRANSFERRED NOW? haha just kidding but man! Moises is so awesome!
We talked to his mom and I think she'll be baptized in the next few weeks!
I'm so excited for that family, maybe I'll be able to go to the temple with them when they are sealed! That would be cool! Something else that was cool was he has given us three referrals. He's a full blown missionary I tell you! He's always talking to people about the church and inviting them it's so cool! And remember.. he's been a member for 2 weeks! Pretty Awesome!:)

Yesterday we were called by some members of the Kenosha Spanish Branch who live in Milwaukee, to give a blessing and the Primary Childrens Hospital. We of course said yes and they picked us up! All day I had been struggling with this headache that would not go away! So I was really trying to pray and ask for it to leave so we could focus on the spirit and the blessing. Well we got to the hospital and eventually to the room of the little girl and her mom. She was in her mom's lap!
The girl looked so sad and the mom seemed okay with what was happening but wanted the girl to have a blessing. Elder Neves was picked to give the blessing and man, the spirit was strong. My Headache left immediately at the beginning of the blessing through the whole thing. By the end of the blessing the spirit was very strong and clear. When it was over, me and Elder Neves both new the mom needed one too. Save some details but it went great! These are the types of experiences you live for as a missionary. I'm so grateful! 

Also I went on Exchanges with Elder Low! He's from Cedar City! It was a ton of fun! He's the one of me and him in a tree! Very hard to get that pic btw.. haha

This week was great! i'm excited for my new area! My new address is..
400 browns ct. #104 Lake Mills, WI, 53551
