| Sheboygan Ward Picnic |
So... Sheboygan! I LOVE IT!!
I love this ward! We have three sets of missionaries!
(Spanish Elders, Hmong Elders, and English Sisters! US!)
I tried Hmong food at a Hmong Family Home Evening conference at our church yesterday! It was so fun to get to know the Hmong members...they drove from as far as Greenbay to be there!!
I love my new companion- Sister Milligan! (Yes Zak- it sounds like Mulligan! haha)
We clicked within our first 5 minutes together!! I feel like we've grown up together. Also- She loves Oprah!
So when the time was right I was able to tell her about the time that we met Oprah and she actually started to tear up!!
We laughed our heads off and talked about being empowered and creating a vision board for our area! I have been so blessed to have had great companions on my mission! Teaching with Sister Milligan is so easy- we pray for each other while we teach and were able to set a baptismal date with Jared this week! November 15th! He says that isn't soon enough.. haha His wife Katie is a returning less-active woman & their sights are set on the temple and being sealed as a family! The Pond family (we teach Jared and Katie in their home) have been the greatest examples to them of what their family can become! Member Missionary work is the most effective way to do missionary work! From Lake Michigan and now to Sheboygan... I've learned so much about how the Lord brings members and missionaries together to hasten the work!
"Your skills plus my skills in the ring!" -Nacho Libre-
Totally applicable to Member + Missionary work!!
(ps: MOM- Sister Pond= Angie Updike! You taught her (15 yr olds) Sunday school class as a returned missionary! it was a class full of boys and Sister Pond and one other girl! She said that you brought treats every week and that all the boys had crushes on you but you were dating Dad! haha)
Thank you so much for your prayers! This week couldn't have been better!!
I'm struggling with endurance right now- but I know that as I rely on the Lord I'll be able to do this
pss: Sister Milligan and I performed in the talent show at the ward picnic together! We just threw it together and it was a miracle that it all came together the way it did!! We basically had the whole ward there! And our Bishop played the bagpipes!
& because we had this up our sleeve we were able to teach so many people with it this week! We were able to testify of Christ in many setting where we normally wouldn't have been able to. SO COOL!
Have an amazing week! & Remember to be...
Steadfast & Immovable in Christ!
Love,
Sister Osmond :)

| Karen, one of our neighbors, bought us flowers this week. We didn't have vase so we put them in the blender. :)
People are so thoughtful here in Sheboygan.
