#44- Birthday and Holiday

Fun and busy week.

Monday June 27, 2011: We did not go to the Zoo. :( By the time we were done with all of our stuff before we wouldn't have had enough time. Instead we went bowling. It's been 3 months since I've been bowling so I wasn't that great. We then went to the Bowen's and helped them finish their chicken run. They are going to get some chickens soon.

Tuesday June 28, 2011: We went to the Goff's (The less active that came to church on Sunday) to do service by mowing their lawn. They don't have a lawn mower so we had to borrow one from a member that lives a few blocks away. Their grass hasn't been mowed in a long time so the grass was about, I'd say 2 feet tall, so it took a while to cut it all down. My service shoes are now green. :)

Thursday June 30, 2011: We biked to our correlation meeting and we got flagged down by two people. The first one was Eddie. He wanted to give us each a dollar to get a drink, because it was really hot, but we told him we can't take money from people, so he forced it upon us by shoving it in our pocket. He was receptive to our message and we gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he would read it. The bad part is that he lives is Hamtramck's area. When we got to the church, Jennifer called to us and said she was looking for a church to go to with her kids. We taught her the Restoration and she said she would come to church. She lives in Dexter's area. We find people for other areas but never for our own.

Sunday July 3, 2011: My birthday. Today was great. Church was fun, we had 2 investigators there. Rita and Betty. Guess who else came to church today...Derek. I saw him drive up and I just about flipped. I was thinking earlier before church, I knew he was going to be in Michigan in July and I though it would be sweet if he came today and it really happened. It was so cool to see him. After church we went to Willie's house and taught a few lessons around there.

Monday July 4, 2011: Since we didn't go to the Zoo last week we went today. It was a lot of fun. We also got to celebrate the 4th with our crazy neighbor/investigator, a man named Murray. He got some fireworks and we got to watch. It was fun.

Hope that everyone had a good 4th, Party hard. Have a great week everybody!!
