Transfer week- Week 48

Hey everyone! I forgot that P Day was going to be on Tuesday until Monday morning. But here we are! I hope that you all had an amazing week. I'm also so happy to share with you all that we were able to reshoot our family pictures and Shay was able to make it this time! Now we have our whole family(as of right now) there!

We were able to find another 5 people this week. Its been very different here in this area than in my last areas. Sometimes I would go 2 or 3 days without speaking Spanish to anyone except for my companion in my last areas but that definitely isnt the case here! We are able to talk to a lot more Hispanics and in return be able to find a lot more people. 

I will have the opportunity of staying here in Green Bay for another transfer being the District Leader and I will be losing my current companion Elder Lacey and will be getting Elder Baer. I'm excited to stay here and work in Green Bay!

We have continued to have amazing lessons with Domingo and his family and they even offered to feed us one night! They called us that day and sadly said that we wouldnt be able to go have a lesson with them but we changed it to a day later and they still fed us! We had an amazing lesson reading 2 Nephi 31 about the doctrine of Jesus Christ. If it's been a while since youve read that chapter you should go read it because it's a pretty good one!

I have been able to continue my quest in reading through the Old Testament and am currently in the middle of 2 Kings. I love the stories of the prophets in 1 and 2 Kings. Elijah and Elisha are definitely some of my favorite prophets because they have so much confident and faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ. 

I have gotten pretty good at working the bus routes the past couple weeks so it's been pretty fun planning out when and where we are going to go places! I enjoy it. Definitely different from having a car though!

One night we were able to teach a couple points of a lesson to this guy names Jesse but we decided it would be best if we leave it as that and leave so as we were walking home I started walking through the field and it had been snowing a little bit and so i stopped and started making a snowman. It was pretty cool.

Im grateful to be a missionary and a representative of Jesus Christ! Enós 1:19 "Y sucedió que yo, [Elder Ricks] anduve entre el pueblo de [Wisconsin], profetizando de cosas venideras y dando testimonio de las cosas que yo había oído y visto." I love being out here sharing the word of God with everyone here in Wisconsin! I love you all!

DO GOOD, BE GOOD

Love,

Elder T. Ricks
