Hello Family,
Well its official i am in Wisconsin!!! So I've been assigned to the Madison 1st ward so I"m in like the "heart" of Madison I guess you could say. The Capitol building and all that is in my area. Since we are in the city we don't have a car and we have to ride the bus everywhere which kinda sucks but its good at the same time because i'm walking places and not just driving. The bad thing is we have to walk to the store and then walk back holding all our groceries and that's not really fun at all but I'm sure by the time I leave this area my muscles will be really big! ;) 

                                                         
                                 
                    Sister Shelton and Sister Hunter

So my companions name is Sister Shelton and she's really sweet but we definitely have very different personalities so that will be interesting., but for the most part we get along really well. 
So every morning we get up at 6:30 and then we have till 7:30 to work out; wet hen we get ready for the day and start personal study at 8:30 after which we have comp. study at 9:30 and then 12 weeks (which is like the new missionary training manual to study out of) till 10:30; we do an hour lunch and then head out. We basically just do things each day according to what appointments we have.  Because we are on bus we don't have a whole lot of time to do tracking but we do a lot of street contacting, It's actually really fun. You just start talking to people, tell them who you are what you do, give them a mormon.org card, and then ask if you can pray with them. Most people think your kinda weird but they are willing to do it. 
So the President committed all of us new missionaries to extend a baptismal invitation by Sunday and I finally go that last night so that was good. ha ha but the lady we were teaching was Pentecostal, and let us know all throughout the lesson that we were wrong. She actually got kinda mad at us when we talked about God and Christ being two separate beings. So really we probably aren't going to get very far with her but she did say that if she prayed and God told her that she needed to join the Mormon church that she would. She definitely has a lot of faith. So the members here are really great! Most of them are grad students going to the UW, but they are all super willing to help. Every lesson we taught last week had a member present so that was really neat to see. We have a lesson tonight with a potential named Laurie she actually contacted us asking if we could come meet with her so I'm really excited to see how this lesson goes tonight and hopefully she turns into a potential!
Love you lots!!!,
Sister Hunter
