 Hey so sorry this one is a week late! Last week's p-day was kind of a crazy one! But I'd love to tell ya a bit about my week!

Tuesday: Okay because I was leaving I packed up a little bit and then we went to Wing Stop and the driving range! We said goodbye to some of the amazing members who took care of me and even celebrated Elder Quinton's birthday with the Calderwoods!!! 

Wednesday: Sadly had to say goodbye to my companion Elder Waldram which was super sad because I only got 1 transfer with him.  I headed off to Appleton to go and serve the Lord there! I met my new companion Elder Carreon and even saw some old friends and that was super awesome! 

Thursday: My first full day in the area, so that was super fun! We went and had correlation with the branch mission leader and let's say this branch is all about missionary work and helping us out! We have a very elect human being in our teaching pool named Bernardo and he's preparing for baptism!!! Absolute stud of a man! 

Friday: So we had another fantastic day. Sadly we didn't find any new friends to teach but we had our follow up lesson with Bernardo and with Hno. Carranco of the branch here in Neenah! The branch is full of amazing members who are willing to just hop on right as we are calling our friends! 

Saturday: Okay so all the fun happened when we went over to Bernardo's house and he told us he was gonna be late. So we just did some wandering around and ran into our new friend Linda, who was taking out her trash. We offered some assistance and we just got talking about life and God! She's going through some things so some prayers for her would be amazing! After that we had Bernardo with our member Hna. Guillermina and she basically taught the rest of the Plan of Salvation and temples which he loved! Went and knocked some doors in his apartment complex and defiantly disturbed some people who were having some fun 😅😅😅 but it's okay haha! 

Sunday: Okay first let me say the Lord blessed us so much! Bernardo was able to come to church and met all the members. They brought him in like he was already baptized and it was so cool! We then had a call with this young guy Misael and we set up a time to drop off a book of Mormon and when we went and dropped it off we asked if we could visit his family and he said they're catholic and wouldn't want to hear the message but he offered to let us in the building and knock some doors,  so we did and let's say we watched this man run. Like 10 minutes later we found this family and they let us right in and the spirit just was so strong. When out of the back room comes Misael with deer in the headlight eyes as we were talking to his family! Like we had no clue he lived there cause he bolted off and was in a complete different part of the complex!!! So miracles! 

Spiritual thought: "Gospel covenants and ordinances operate in our lives like a compass to give us cardinal direction to come unto Christ and become more like Him." - David Bednar

Okay so I know this is late but I absolutely love you all and I pray daily for you guys and remember to keep working, keep loving, keep serving and following the gospel of Jesus Christ!!! - Elder Doty

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...

  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 ...
