Cuenta tus muchas bendiciones- Week 37

Hey everyone, we still out here in Wisconsin! Over the past winter so far it has been way colder in Idaho than here in Wisconsin except for this week I think it was a little colder here! So if you're feeling alone you don't have to because we are feeling freezing too! We also got quite a bit of snow last night which was great. I hope all of your weeks have been well and that you are happy. 

This week was pretty busy with our transfer that just happened, we were in Madison a lot and we got our new companion Elder Harrison! It's been super fun to have him here. He is from Arizona, he's been out on his mission for almost a year and a half, he is sooo good at the kendama, and is super funny. So we are still in a trio which has actually been pretty fun this week.

We have this cool nativity thing here in Janesville and that has been going on for like the last 6 years here so we just got the pass along cards for that so that we can advertise it to everyone! So we went over to the De La Rosa Salón so that we could put the cards there and we were talking with Saul which is one of the sons there and we asked if he needed some help and he said yes please and so we went and helped him and I saw this super cool vending machine that I want and it was just sitting in their garage so I was like yoooooo are you ever gonna use this? And he said nope so I said could I have it after the mission? And he said yep, so when I get home from my mission I'm gonna have a cool vending machine to put somewhere😊 it's gonna be super cool. 

Oh also I'm kinda sad because the ward gave one of the members here a calling as the ward translator and so it's not the missionaries job to translate anymore:/ and it's kinda sad because for me that was always one way that really helped my Spanish to grow and now I don't have that option anymore! But no worries because I still translate in my head.;) 

We ALMOST have Nathanael ready for a baptism! The spirit is working really hard with him and we are going to go over all of the baptism interview questions with him so that we can know what we need to focus on when we teach him but we are going to try to put him on baptismal date for like December 7th or 14th!

Galations 3:26-27
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
We are all children of our Heavenly Father. Becuae of this we have all 'put on Christ'. I think that means that we are willing to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ out loud and willing to make and keep covenants with the Lord and strive every single day to be like Jesus Christ because we love Him and are trying to be one with Him. I promise as we do this we will become more like Him and I know this because I have seen it in my own life and know that it can happen for you too. 

I love you all! I hope you have a wonderful week:)

DO GOOD, BE GOOD

Love, 
Elder T. Ricks
