| Lots and lots of snow here |

| Messing around with huge icicles at zone sports and my companion Elder Tarone |
This week went by way too fast as every week does. On Tuesday we did exchanges with he Marshfield Elders. I went with Elder Gausse in the Marshfield area. It was a crazy time mostly because it has snowed so much this month. On the exchange, we had lots of opportunities to do service which I liked a lot. We helped some people shovel snow and also got a call from a member who said one of his neighbor's car got stuck in a ditch so we went and helped him dig it out. After we finally got it out we wanted to go see some potentials. So we typed in an address and went to a house and started to drive there. I jokingly said, "Watch us get stuck in a ditch" and guess what happened?!? 5 mins later we were stuck in a ditch. I blame it on the snow. We shouldn't have snow in April!! Especially since it has snowed 20 inches this month so far here in Wausau.
Also this week we were doing some role plays in Companionship study. We were practicing doing some door approaches. Elder Tarone starts out saying "Wb yog cov seev cev rau Yexus Khetos." which means "We are dancers of Jesus Christ." Instead of saying "Wb yog cov sawv cev rau Yexus Khetos." Meaning "We are representatives of Jesus Christ." The funny thing though is he said this a few times at some doors this week, but we didn't realize it until then. None of the Hmong people said anything or gave us any weird looks when he said it though.
This week we had a cool experience on exchanges. Elder Gausse and I were waiting in the car at the halfway point between Wausau and Marshfield. We were parked on a random road. A guy pulled up next to us in his truck. We were like "oh crap this guy is gonna come and chew us out and tell us to get off his property." but he didn't. He came and introduced himself and asked us how we are doing. We said we are good and told him that we are missionaries. Surprisingly he grew up in the church but hasn't gone for over 30 years. He told us a little of his story and asked for a BOM and said he wants to start coming to church again with his family. So we got his number and he said he would be interested in visits. It was really cool. I wish Elder Tarone and I could teach him because he is in our area, but we can't since he isn't Hmong.
Talk you to you next week
