OUT HERE IN MADTOWN Weston Poulson 10/10/2016

So to explain my email's title, I'm in Madison today. Madison is where the huge college is. Like The one you guys see on TV that just says "Wisconsin" that's this university. UW Madison. 
Anyways, we are on campus and in the library today, me and Elder Reina worked it out so I could drive half way and he could pick me up so we could have pday here with other missionaries and play some ball! So legit, IDK if I'll be able to do it weekly though, we'll see.

Anyways this week was pretty good! We got some good work in and met with our investigators a little bit too! I know that sentence I just wrote sounds really basic but aye, it gets difficult to come up with new stuff to write weekly haha so deal with it! But this week is kinda a blur so I'll do my best. So to explain my email's title, I'm in Madison today. Madison is where the huge college is.

Wednesday we taught a hispanic man named Tino. He lives in a different area so a senior couple is teaching him but nobody speaks spanish so they drive us out there! It's pretty fun, we get to hang out with the Sass's. They are awesome brother Sass is really funny, just has some really funny phrases haha things like this. "Its about as hard to get them to church as it is to herd cats. " things like that all the time but they are always different! anyways, theyre awesome and we had a good lesson! he said he'd be baptized but no date yet, ill keep yall updated. 

Thursday we tracted a lot and had dinner with the Hansens' that was legit, I love that family.

Basically the week went like that haha but on Saturday we had stake conference and also Sunday! We drove down here to Madtown on Saturday for the priesthood session and it was good! It was kinda like a discussion, I liked it a lot. Then we went out to a dinner appointment with Elder Reina and Christopherson. That was so good we had home-made lasagna. Then had the Saturday night session. It was all really good, we had a big focus on member missionary work. Lots of promised blessings going with it! Also, out of the 18 northern state missions, we came in 3rd for baptisms!!! haha I'm pumped about that!!! We used to be last! Member work really does improve the work A TON! But then we stayed the night with the ZL's (zone leaders house) and that was pretty fun, Elder Reina cut my hair on the sides shorter for me, he did a great job and we all had a good time that night haha
then Sunday conference came around and the same focus was brought about.

So for my wise words from Wes today I'm going to invite you all to find a way to get involved in the missionary work! I know in Utah that can be difficult but just keep in my mind what the lord tells us.. D&C 18:10,15.

10 Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;          
15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and            bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!

I don't know about ya'll but that sounds good to me! Even if its just one soul!! ONE!:)
Yall have a happy week cause you know i will!

HOLD IT DOWN!!
