We're going to catch a monster

 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 and knocked about 30 doors with names and sadly we only got some angry responses and talked to someone from the country of Rwanda which was way sick! But on the way home we saw this guy on his bike so we tried to talk to him from the car and he ignored us so we then kinda cut him off and then talked to him for 30 minutes and he was just really sad, stressed and felt alone cause he just moved from California and had no friends but he was happy we stopped for him! So we set up a time to talk to our man Balthazar here the next day and ended up finding our boy Ramon while talking to Balthzar so they now homies!!!

- We had a jam-packed weekend with the Sharing the Gospel devo which I invite you all to watch if you haven't and with church! So our boy Ramon came and so did our friend Carlos who we found like 2 weeks earlier while tracting down in Fond du lac and he wants to be baptized!!! Another big thing is that Bernardo received the Aaronic Priesthood!!!

Spiritual thought: 1st Corinthians 3:4-7, This is all about missionary work and truly seeing that we are only instruments and that it is the Lord who really changes people and it is super awesome!

I love you all and hope everything is good! God bless you all! - 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 ...
