The Adventures of 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...

  Some cool things: - So we sadly had to say goodbye to the one and only Kab Yeeb Lis which is sad but he will go and do some amazing things in Hawaii and at BYU! But MLC was such an amazing time! We did have some very grown up conversations about the mission but it was very much needed! We are gonna truly miss President and Sister Murphy so much and we are grateful for all they did for us and for me personally! But we are truly excited for President and Sister Hansen!!! - We went out to Chilton and ate with the Familia Vazquez and it was really good to see them working towards becoming a family in the gospel! Their family could use some prayers for sure!  - CDC was a really good time as well! We had some grown-up conversations about where we need to be going as a mission and they are more then ready to go where the lord would have them go!  - We had Carlos come to church with us and it's just amazing that we have members we have members at cause carlos lives 40 minutes a...

  Hey ya'll so I forgot to send this one out so here is a couple highlights from the past week or so!  - Number 1 we got to meet with our new Mission President and his ifew! President and Sister Hansen are so amazing! Only known them for a few days but their love for us missionaries and the Lords children here are indescribable!!!  - We got to go on exchanges with the Sheboygan elders and let me tell ya I got to go with Elder Greenhalgh and it was like having my little brother Tyson in the mission! It was so much fun! I took him to his first ever Kwik Trip so that was a special moment for sure! We as well found a very elect woman down in Colombia who wants to be baptized and meet with the missionaries there!  - So Bernardo was supposed to give a talk for the first time but sadly his work needed him to work so I got to speak in church and it went pretty well for writing it during the opening hymn hahaha! We got to see the entire Vazquez family who we have been working...

 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 here I am again and lets say its been a while. I feel like it at least haha! But Just wanted to share some cool highlights and some pictures and how the work has progressed here in the Appleton area! Here we go: - So transfers happened this week and uh... I'M STAYING!!! Me and Elder Carreon will keep being companions for this next transfer and we will be serving as the Zone Leaders for the Appleton zone and let me tell ya I have no clue what I am doing but gotta figure it out! So we got to help out with the transfer system on Wednesday and it was great seeing a lot of good friends and disciples of Christ!  - So we finally went back to the Fox River and I am happy to say that nothing was lost or fell into the river or anyone haha but we did catch some fish!!! It felt so good to catch something after almost a year and a half of not having a rod in my hand! Really caught some monsters for sure!! - So we went and did some tracting in an apartment complex ...
