It rained, it got humid and we sweat a lot. That's the summary for the week. Too add to it, most of our investigators and many of the members are out of town. Perhaps for a last minute summer vacation before school starts in early September and to escape the humidity. This was certainly a tough week. As we come to a close of the transfer, Elder Allen will be transferred to Milwaukee, and I will be serving with Elder McMoor. I don't know much about him.

On Tuesday we held a District Testimony meeting, It was absolutely wonderful and a fantastic way to end the transfer. These Elders and Sisters are amazing, and their love for God and the effort that they give to His service is astounding. After district meeting I went on exchanges with Elder Lor. He is one of the Hmong missionaries and is actually getting transferred out to Green Bay on Wednesday. We had a great time, taught a few good lessons with what investigators we had in town and visited a few other people that we didn't know all that well.

I'm not trying to be boring, but that really is the whole week. Nobody was home, it was super humid. We had fun, Elder Allen and I had many great conversations along the way and we did what we could to keep each other going and with bright smiles on our faces. This is a gospel of optimism -- at least that is how I feel.

In September, the Book of Mormon Musical is coming to Appleton. The Stake Presidency has invited everyone to a challenge: To read the whole Book of Mormon in the month of September and even share your thoughts and feelings about the Book of Mormon on social media. The missionaries are joining in and I invite you all to do the same :)

Elders Allen, Cook, Lor, and me.  Sisters Green and Kealer.

Scripture for the week: John 3:16

 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Love,

Elder Luymes
