Little Changes in Wisconsin

 The week before Christmas  - TRANSFERS!! And for the first time since Jeff has been in Wisconsin he was transferred. However, he didn't move far - from Madison to Mt. Horeb, almost 20 miles west as the crow flies. He's even in the same stake! His new companion is Elder Kresge, from the Seattle area - he is completing E. Kresge's training.  I think they're getting along well from the pictures I'm seeing and what I've heard in the last email :) Here are some excerpts from the last letter - and his new local address will be posted on the blog.




We did a lot of service, I think my favorite though was eating lunch and calling bingo for the seniors for about 3 hours!! It was GREAT!!!!!!! E. Kresge did the roller thing and I called out the numbers, it was awesome how serious the old people took it! 





We were walking down the main street of Mt. Horeb here. Well we were walking down one side and there was this older man and woman walking towards us. They stopped at the light ahead of us and there was a guy just behind them in a big  black coat and what not, well when we passed them I looked over and the dude in the coat had an ear piece and was totally security for them. 

It got better when we looked across the street to see the big blacked out yukon driving slowly and following them. Well then it got even better. We were walking home and had to stop at kwik trip (gas station) and we walk in Kresge goes in and in comes another dude with a security guy. 

The security guy was a lot more obvious though. He was wearing a Wisconsin shirt thing that was way to big!!! He was obviously wearing his vest and packing heat! It was legit. 

Well then we walked out at the same time and Kresge tried to hold the door for him. Yeah he wanted nothing to do with that! It was kinda exciting because there is nothing here for some big wigs to have reason..... we don't know who they were and what not...


Last but not least, Elder Kresge was able to extend his first baptismal invitation yesterday and man was he excited!! In fact, when we got back in the car this is what he said to me,"HOLY FROSTED FLAKES BATMAN, I'M A MISSIONARY!!!!!!!!
