Ashton is teaching people and one of their investigators has a baptismal date set for June 13!! Ashton will be playing the piano at the baptism! She also got to use her non-existent Spanish speaking skills to talk with a wonderful woman.
Ashton said they did a service project for a Presbyterian church, maybe this is the church? Or maybe it is just a beautiful building that she took a picture of!
They do some biking and some driving, I like their classy bikes and cute helmets!
Well HELLOOOO! Everybody! Its a moo-tiful day here in Wiscansin! hahaha seriously there are lots of cows here!...not so much in my area because I cover some parts of the city of Milwaukee...but the cows are out there somewhere! haha
ANYWAY! Its been a SUPER awesome and busy week!!! the work really is progressing!!!
We are teaching a lady named Ali, and holy cow..Ali is PREPARED to receive the fullness of this gospel!!! She needs it in her life! Shes looking for something more and is figuring out what it is! We have another appointment with her this week and it's gunna be awesome!!! As we talked about the first vision with her she got excited and we met her daughters and one of them said she wants to be a nurse! So I told her I am a certified EMT (hardly...ha I just passed the test) but now shes more open to us because she sees we are like...oh I don't know...actual people! ha its great!
One of our investigators named Barbara agreed to come on a church tour with us and we asked her to be baptized and she said YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! Shes getting baptized June 13th!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHH!!!!! I think i'm playing the piano for it!!! WWOOOO!!!! This is EXACTLY what her Heavenly Father wants her to do!!!! I am so excited for her!!!!!!!!!
The Lord totally works in mysterious ways!!! Oh my word!!! ha So earlier in the week sister green and I were tracting (door to door knocking) and everyone was saying no and rejecting us.....and WOW I was discouraged!! but then we kinda both had the feeling to go see this woman who didn't show up for an appointment we set up with her like 2 weeks ago...so we were driving there and I was just thinking "Why are we doing this?? She obviously doesn't want to know what we have to say...." But we went to her house and she was right there sitting in her front yard...and so we started talking to her and she said "I really think you are both sent from God..." and I just thought "oh my gosh...because of my attitude we almost MISSED this opportunity to share the gospel with Jeanette!!! Anyway! we taught the restoration...gave her a Book of Mormon and she wants to know more!!!! WOW!!!!!
So kind of a funny thing is we went to see this less active woman in the west allis ward and sister green said "Okay...just..brace yourself..." and I was thinkin "What the heck are you talking about?" hhahahaha and so we walk in and OH MY!!!! hahahaha so this woman who is so sweet and awesome...just yells.....like when she talks....she thinks shes just talking....but she is yelling! hahahahaha but it was awesome!!! She came to church!!!!! After not coming for a long time and we knew she was there because everytime we all said "Amen" we heard this sister in the back say "AMEN!!!!!!!!" and just yell it!!! hahahaha SO awesome! She is a faithful kingdom builder in the Lord's church!!!!
Okay one last story...haha sister green and I got a referral from Salt lake just saying that there was a woman in Milwaukee and she really wanted to be baptized! So of course we rush over there and we open the door and this woman doesn't speak a lick of English...haha so I searched deep deep down in my soul for the memories of the few instances I paid attention in Spanish class (sorry senor Tristan) hahaha and I told her who we were IN SPANISH!!!! and then she said "AAAWWWWW CCHHIIICCCAASSS!!!!!" hahaha and then she takes like a dive for my face and hugs me and rubbed my head and kissed me on the cheek! hahahaha SHE WAS AWESOME!!! AND now she is being taught!!!!! WAHHOOOO!!!!!!!!
I love this work!!!! I love Jesus Christ! He is the reason I am out here!!!! I have felt the redeeming powers of the atonement of Jesus Christ! I have felt the chains of regret and remorse and sorrow and have felt those chains be broken through Jesus Christ! It's real!!! and I realize that more and more everyday!!! The way to access that atonement is back on the earth! and it is called the Gospel of Jesus Christ! It is real! And I know it!
LOVE YOU AL! MUCH WISCONSIN LOVE!!!!!!!!!
because I have been given much I too must give!
-Sister Wise
