What a week! This week has been pretty fun and weird. I have a few things to tell you about. Some I thought were funny, others dirty (dirt not crude) and some a little inappropriate that I won't share the entire context of.
As you all have found out, my companion has been getting on my nerves lately. This week has been better, we've had more fun, so things are working a little better.
We've had some great lessons with some of our investigators and with some less-actives. Investigators first:
Candice, she is making some good progress. She has stopped drinking but is working on another commandment and also having some trouble coming to church. She is really cool.
Rita and Toby, they are doing pretty good. Toby is on date for July 17. He is trying to overcome smoking which last we checked with him is that he is doing a little better. Rita is struggling with the Law of Chastity because she doesn't want to kick her boyfriend, Kevin, out. She really wants to become a member. Rita comes to church every week. The last two weeks Toby couldn't come because of a last minute call into work. Not yesterday, but last Sunday Toby was in the parking lot at the church when he got his call for work. Tewan is Willie's brother. He's 12 and pretty cool. His Baptismal date is July 3. He should be ready for that date, he doesn't have problems like most of the kids in Detroit.
Speaking of Detroit, Detroit is such a dirty place. It's like one of the only places where you'll get a black line on your white shirt where its tucked in your pants. Also your white shirt gets dirty just from the air. Also it doesn't help when you play Pros-ball with some kids and the back of your shirt is completely brown and the front has ball prints on it. Two of my shirts were super bad.
As we've been riding our bikes we've been playing tag. Yeah that's right just the two of us, I started it. But it gets pretty fun, biking somewhere and randomly reaching over "TAG YOUR IT" we've been having fun doing that.
We have been having some great experiences with some of our less actives. We saw Brenda (last week I called her Barbara, it's Brenda) She is super funny. Like I said last week she had a bad relationship, her husband cheated with another member and then left with another. She told us who that member was. She so happens to be one of the members in Hamtrack's area who does a bunch for the missionaries so she got the name Mama -----. We told Brenda that Mama ----- takes care of the missionaries, then she said something so funny "She's not Mama nothing........" Not going to finish the rest. I love Detroit so much, the people here are so different and interesting.
