negative 20's people! hahahahaha what the! ITS GREAT THOUGH! the work is really pumping....even though my bloods not....hahahhaah ITS SO COLD! hahaha nothin a little electric blanket and hand warmers cant handle! 

     Well its been an EXCITING WEEK! This was transfers week and sister tenney and i are staying together as the STL's in this zone for atleast another month and a half! YAHHOOOO! we are excited to work hard! SO! FIRST THINGS FIRST! The Milwaukee Bus System is basically the BEST THING IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas to me! hahaha we find so many people on the bus! They can't slam the door in my face...because guess what??? NO DOORS! Hoooorraahhhh for warm, door-less buses! :) but we were sitting on the bus and there's a guy sitting across from us in a cool north-face hat....so i tell him! "Hey sweet north-face hat!" and he said thanks and then we proceeded to talk about my coolio North-face coat (shout out to my aunt jolene) and then i said "yeah it really keeps me warm because i'm not from here! Not used to this" and he said "Where are you from??" "Idaho!" "Why are you here???" " I thought you would NEVER ask sir!" hahaha and then theyre hooked! No door-slammin! hahaha :) so his names dave, and we gave him a book of mormon and then went over last night and taught him about it more! He thinks its awesome! Really cool and genuine!

     Then we set a baptismal day with maria! SHES SO GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! for february 14th! She and peggy will be baptized on the same day! they liked the idea! hahaha

HILARIOUS STORY! So sister Tenney and I have a door that we lock from the inside and then close and then go out and work! Well one night we were leaving the apartment after getting changed in pants to help a lady move...and right when sister tenney closes the door she just closes her eyes and says "oohh my......................................" and i'm standing here saying "Yeah i know! Its cold! lets go get in the car!!!!!!!!!!" but she says "no.....the keys are inside.............................." THE CAR KEYS AND THE APARTMENT KEYS! what the heck.......hahhahaha so i said "okay...uh....don't panic! I did this 4 times in a month back at home! hahaha" she didn't think that was funny......hahahaha so we tried calling people...but no one answered and we wondered why!.....and the reason was....the PACKERS were playing! hahahaha and so we called the police and they were closed because of the game too! hahahah kidding! but we really did call the police! because I basically thought we were going to die because it was dark outside and there was no source of heat! aahhhhhh! haha so i started jogging! we were tight with the officer by the end of the night though! cool guy!

     hahaha HEAVENS! good times! but I'm not out here for the goodtimes! I am here because i have been called! Its hit me hard this week that God made it so He could issue my call!!!! Everything in my life has lead up to THIS! and i am so grateful for that! I am seeing people taste the fruit that tastes SO GOOD to me!!!!!!! They are understanding that it is Good fruit as well!!!!!!!!!! I am grateful for the people of Milwaukee! I love serving here!!!!!!!! This part of the world is very special to me! I love my Redeemer and am forever grateful for the potential i have through Him! I love Him! I love you all!

"Because i have been given much i too must give!"
