Hey how's it going? I just wanted to let you know that I'm being transferred on Wednesday morning and I don't know where I'm going yet. They do the where your going calls tomorrow morning which always sucks to wait for. I'll let you know though where I go and wish me luck with packing everything up and moving around. That's the worst part of moving is packing it all up! I'll talk to you later and thanks for everything!
Love, Elder Patterson

I'm doing well out here. It snowed all day Saturday, so I'm just waiting for spring to come around and stay around. It seems to just be teasing us. It's about 45 today and cloudy so that's warmer than the other day. We have transfers next Wednesday the 27th just to let you know because I will most likely be transferred because I've been here for six months and it'd rare for a missionary to be in an area any longer than that. But we won't know for sure if I'm leaving until this Saturday the 23rd. I'll let you know though next Monday. It's always sad though when you reach the end of your time serving in an area ya know. It's gonna be extremely sad when my time is up over all and I'll have to come home. I hit my ten month mark though the other day and it's just crazy to think about coming up on my year mark. I was talking to the missionary that trained me Elder Hofmeister and he couldn't believe how long I've been out. He's been out 17 months today. I'm just making so much friends out here and that is one joy of facebook too, I can become friends with every friend I make out here and always keep in touch with how they're doing out here. One of our investigators set a baptismal date on her own this week. She called up bishop and met with him and set a date for May 22. We've been working with her for a long long time now and it's so exciting that she's finally made her decision. What stinks about that date though is that I'll probably be gone. But I'll have to make it back for the baptism.
Anyways, I'll let you go and hope you have a great week this week and tell everyone I said hi. Thanks again and I love and miss you guys so much and I'll talk to you again next week!

I'm doing good here in Kettle Moraine. My new companion is Elder Trusty and he seems to be a pretty trusty guy ha ha ha. I'm so funny! My last companion though got transferred up to Escanaba! I was so jealous because I loved serving in Esky, it's such an awesome area to be in! But so is Kettle Moraine. Although we did have kind of a slow week. We should have a much better week though this week I hope, oh and to top off my slow eek, I got a $90 ticket for going 35 in a 25!!! Sucks a bunch, but oh well. Other than that though, I'm doing great here. It's been warming up here and all the snow is almost gone, but it's supposed to snow again on Wednesday haha. What's crazy is that I've been in this area for 4 1/2 months which means I might be getting transferred in five weeks. You can never guess that though, but we'll see.
Well I will let you go because we gotta go to the Stake Center in Milwaukee to play some ball:) I love and miss you guys and hope you have a great week! Talk to you later.
Love, Elder Patterson

Well, I'm doing good here. I'm not being transferred on Wednesday, but my companion that's been here for six weeks is. President Jones called me up on Saturday saying that I'm getting a new missionary but I don't think that means I'm training because the only missionaries coming out are Hmong and Spanish speaking, but I did hear that there is a missionary coming from Germany, because he was having visa problems and so they're sending him here. I'll have to let you know though who I do get next week. That does pose a problem though, all of my companions have had a GPS because it's nearly impossible to get around Wisconsin without one. Now my companion isn't gonna have one and I don't know what I'm gonna do because they cost like a hundred buck and I don't have that kind of money. I told Dane about this problem too, and I told him that if you guys could help, I would need it ASAP because after Wednesday, I don't know what I'm gonna do! I know this is probably bad timing and all with you almost there with having your baby and all. Thank you so much though for everything and please keep me updated with everything. I'll have to talk to you next week! Love you and thanks again!
Love,
Elder Patterson

How's everything going? Have you had your baby yet? If not it's coming up right? Are you excited or not?
I'm doing good as you can see I attached some pics to this email because I keep forgetting to get another disc for you from wal mart but I'll do that soon. I set up a profile on mormon.org and I used that pic that you took of me before I left. You should go to mormon.org and see if you can find my profile and check it out. You should even start one, it's sweet. Well not much else is new here. It was a pretty warm week and all the snow melted but then it got cold again and it snowed all day yesterday. Well I can't think of anything else to write so I'll talk to you later. Bye!
Love

Hello, Thanks for the updates on Calvin I'm happy to hear that he's doing so well now. I was kinda worried at the beginning of your email but now I'm relieved but not because I farted haha.
I'm so excited that I get a whole 33 bucks back. For a missionary that's a lot of money so I'm just pumped haha. We had a crazy crazy blizzard the other day and we got about 14 to 15 inches of snow from that but just a little south of us they got 26 inches so we got lucky here. My comp got transferred and I got a new one. His name is Elder Alleman and he's from Idaho and he's been out for about six months now. He's really shy and quiet, in combined priesthood meeting yesterday the Bishop asked him to stand up and introduce himself and he got up and waved at everyone and sat back down without even saying a word, it was hilarious.
Now I know you hate sports, But The GREEN BAY PACKERS won the Super Bowl last night and everyone here is going nuts. We were told by our mission president that we were supposed to be indoors by 4 yesterday because of it. Every time they play, we are not allowed to tract because everyone gets drunk and it's just so dangerous to knock on doors. I'm so so glad that they won though and now I'm a packers fan. Dane even said that Calvin is the youngest packers fan because they all watched the game together.
Well that's what's new from my neck of the woods, and I'm so glad to hear that you guys are all doing so well. Pretty soon I'll be checking my emails and find that you had your baby too. Just a few weeks away. Anyways I'll talk to you later, bye.
Love
Elder Patterson
