I have arrived in Wisconsin

Hey guys, 

So I haven't written a letter in a fat minute! I was able to go through the temple a week before my mission and that was so, so, so amazing and spiritual development for sure!!! So if you follow my mom you know that I've been in Milwaukee since last Tuesday night!





 I love it here. I was kinda surprised at first, cause number one, I live in the "ghetto" of Milwaukee. Well that's what everyone else says haha! But our apartment is huge. We currently have five of us living there! We have me and my companion Elder Orr! He is a super cool dude and has been an amazing trainer! He is originally from Canada and moved to Utah! We have Elder Cook, Southwick, and Tafolla who will be leaving in a couple weeks to Peru! But it is super cool and amazing to be surrounded by spiritual giants! Quite literally actually, Elder Southwick is 6'7 and Elder Orr is 6'5 so hahaha! But we've had the opportunity to have a few lessons and it's showed me I got lots to improve on! But I've had a lot of cool experiences! We don't really tract but we do a lot of finding through Facebook profiling and our page! So that rule I learned growing up "don't talk to strangers" or "don't follow anyone you don't know" just got chucked out a skyscraper haha! But our mission is one of the best in the world at Facebook profiling!! Kinda crazy! I went to the Spanish ward and it was so cool to hear everyone and just feel the love that these people had for the gospel and it made me just love them so much more! It's crazy how you can develop so much love for people you haven't even met! But yeah so I love all you guys and you'll get more news next week!!!!!!! Gonna be some most epic and extreme stuff from the cheese mission!

Okay so a super busy week for sure! So let's hop right into it!  - So we had Zone Conference and it was a blast! We talked about all the different lines of missionary work and how we can find those prepared to hear the message especially through members! President and Sister Hansen gave amazing trainings! - We had a long week of exchanges with some amazing elders! We went down to Fond du lac after zone conference and just tracted and street contacted the heck out of it then I got to go on exchanges with Elder Jager and man did that bring back some memories! Such a good Elder and we worked the Spanish area and found 2 new friends!  - Next we went down to the far end of the zone down in West Bend! I got to be with Elder Cole-Church and we grindined out the member work and taught some really cool friends! We also talked to a Colombian couple about the church and found out that they lived right in front of the Barranquilla Temple!!! So crazy!!!  - We got to go hit Fond du lac...

 Hey ya'll so I hope you are all doing well and jazzy wherever you may be! I'm here to let ya know about the title of my email!  So some quick highlights of the week are: - We had some crazy storms over here and people forget that I am from the deserts of Utah and I have never seen rain hahaha! But we had a tornado show up and some of the Sisters needed an extra air mattress during the tornado so we said we would meet them at the Kwik Trip and lets just say I couldn't see through the rain and the wind was crazy but when we got to the Kwik trip I told the workers if I am to die today might as well do it here haha! But we were safe and the tornado left which I am sad I didn't get to see the land of Oz! - I have learned that the Fox River here in the Appleton area does not like the missionaries haha it has claimed a few things such as a phone and now a pair of pants and shoes as I was walking down to the river a rock decided to mess up my day and I definitely...

Birthday Miracle, week 70

  Hey ya'll so how is it going??? So as you know from the title it was really a miracle filled week! So to begin, I would like to start with....... well actually I don't really know, so I am gonna run with it haha! - So I got the best surprise on my birthday and no it wasn't eating at a Chinese buffet but while on our way home from an appointment, we received a text saying you need to call Abel from the Hermanas. Abel is one of our recent converts and so we called him right away and found out from him that our branch president had been over to visit them because one of their friends was getting baptized. He asked who is ready in the Vazquez family for baptism and... his 9 yr old son Kevin said, "I am ready to be baptized!!!!" Like it was so cool, so he asked us if that would be possible and of course we said it's possible!!! One of the coolest miracles of my mission happened on my birthday at a Kwik trip with a rainbow like dang it was so cool!!! - We ...
