What a crazy, full, stressful, weird week.
Monday August 29, 2011: Due to some planning complications we had to switch our preparation day to Thursday so that we could meet with some people who could only meet with us today. We saw Steven, he is a crazy investigator who I think is stuck in his ways of life and doesn't really want to hear our message. Even though he says he wants to learn, he didn't listen to what we were saying. He would interrupt all the time and tell us why we were still young and that we didn't have as much experience and that we needed to study more. He is a really spiritual man, but he doesn't want to hear much of what we have to say. That was the weirdest thing that happened this day.
Tuesday August 30, 2011: We had a really awesome lesson with Malissa. We read from the Book of Mormon and she was really into it. It was great. Later that evening we saw Brother Boyde and after we had our lesson with him we got into a discussion about how Detroit was such a disaster. There is still hope for Detroit, it may take a long time but there is still hope. Detroit is actually worse than some third world countries. Elder Buahin said that parts of Detroit are worse than parts of Africa.
Wednesday August 31, 2011: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIE!!!!!!
Thursday September 1, 2011: Today was preparation day, but more importantly today was my HUMP DAY!!! We had a stressful week and a half so we took most of the time to relax and sleep. The evening was really good. We went to Mama D's (Danita) to borrow her lawn mower and after we picked it up and put it in our van we went to see the Schaffer Elders, Kitchen and Green. While with them we celebrated my one year. I burned one of my shirts, missionary tradition.
Friday September 2, 2011: We used the lawn mower that we borrowed, we mowed Liola's lawn. She is really cool. She came to church last Sunday. We had a really powerful lesson with her. It was great.
Saturday September 3, 2011: The best part of the day was our lesson with our investigating family, The Valesquez. They are awesome, they are waiting to get baptized in December so that their family will be here with them and I think that she said the brother is going to baptize them. I'm really excited for them.
Sunday September 4, 2011: Super awesome Sunday. The Valesquez family was at church. Liola was at church. It was great. We had a lesson later with Brother Lusford, he's an inactive member. He is stuck in his ways and thinks that he is on higher ground than us because he said that he knows so much more than us about God that he doesn't have to go to church. He's a lost sheep within the gates. We later had an awesome lesson with Sister Manner, she's active and is Liola's sister. We talked about how we could help her sister and how we could help her as well. Long story short, this family has fallen apart and we are trying to mend it back together as best as we can.
Monday September 5, 2011: It was Labor Day so the libraries were closed and we couldn't e-mail. The Stake was having a picnic, it was really fun. I got to see some members from the Livonia ward, and I got to hang with some other missionaries. Over all it was a nice day.
Wow, updates for everyday this last week. Hope you all have a great week and that you will be able to accomplish all the things that you guys need to.
