Perro idiota

 Hello, so I will explain the title in a bit but hello again! Hope you have all been doing well! So here's my week!

Monday: So we went to the driving range and at first we thought we crossed the Illinois/Wisconsin border cause we passed a welcome to Wisconsin sign haha but glad to say we didn't haha! 

Tuesday: So we had a district council and the last one of the transfer, so it was kinda sad. We went and helped at Grace Lutheran Church again and we also had a important lesson cancel. We made the best of it and felt prompted to call our friend Juan and it happened to be his day off. We taught him about the importance of reading, going to church and praying!

Wednesday: Another amazing day in which we got to go and eat with the Galindos. Let's just say it was quite amazing, in which we had ribs and burgers. They had found a baby raccoon in their wall so we got to take a picture with that! 

Thursday: Had a fuego zone devotional and as well taught one of our R.C.s about the talk by President Nelson this past conference! We also taught our new friends José and Rafael some English and a little bit about the gospel! 

Friday: So pretty fun day as well! We had F.F.F. which is always a blast and then we needed to make a post for our Spanish page so we went to the light house in Kenosha and filmed our video and obviously explored the beach a little haha! 

Saturday: Okay literally one of my favorite days ever!  We did service for the Calderwood family and here is where the title comes in haha! They have a dog called Spreckers and he got stuck under the shed and Hermana Calderwood got mad and in her Argentinian English/Spanish, she yelled at him and it was so funny haha! We also had an opportunity to go up to Milwaukee and help with a youth activity! As soon as we show up, all I see is the entire Milwaukee branch and all my favorite members!!! Juan Carlos and his family all came and gave me hugs and I also learned that 3 of the young men I worked with put their papers in!!! Made me so, so, so happy!!!

Sunday: So we had church and I had to conduct the hymns and guess what? Middle school band did nothing to prepare me haha! We also went and ate at the Calderwoods house and it was so much fun!!! They treat us as their own kids, so it's a home away from home!

Monday: So Monday was a workday, so we worked and I learned 5 new hymns on the piano, so that's a cool new skill I picked up! We also found our friend Ivette and she's super down to hear about the Book of Mormon! We went to Red Robin as a last meal together cause we found out where everyone is going to go! So turns out I only get 6 wonderful weeks in Kenosha and I'm packing up to go to Appleton WI! Super sad to leave after 1 transfer but it's okay!

Spiritual thought: "Zion is “every man seeking the interest of his neighbor, and doing all things with an eye single to the glory of God.” - Spencer W. Kimball. My invitation to you is to build Zion in your personal lives!

Sure love you all and I can't wait to share the miracles of Appleton with you all and everything in between! Love you all!!! - Elder Doty

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!

 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...

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 ...
