On Tuesday we went to the library for our computer time and I was doing family history work and I think I found a name that needs all of his work done so that was a super cool experience. That is the first time i have found a name so that was cool! Then my companion was feeling dizzy so I drove home and then he took a nap because he was way out of it and not feeling well. So I ate lunch and read Ensigns for an hour and a half! It was cool he woke up and was feeling better so that was good. Then we went out to work and tried to see some people and did some walking around and tracting and it was fun. Then we had dinner at a member's house who use to be a mission president in Michigan and that was cool he is from the same town that my comp is from so they talked alot about the small town that they are from. It was good then we saw a guy and his son who are coming back into activity. My comp and his last comp contacted him while walking and he has been coming to church ever since. It was a great lesson he bore a powerful testimony of the Book of Mormon so that was cool. It was a great lesson it is cool to see him coming back! Then we did a lot of stopbys the rest of the night, but it was a great day!
Wednesday we had district meeting and it was good. It is weird for it to only be us and one other set of elders in our district, but it is cool. It was still good then we went out to Quiznos after so that was fun! We taught an guy who is 19. He has been investigating for about 2 years and he knows it is all true, but he still lives with his parents and they are strong Catholics and don't know he has even met with missionaries at all and he is afraid about what they will do if he tells them he is going to be baptized. So hopefully he can get the courage to tell them because he knows that is is the right thing to get baptize, but he isn't there yet so hopefully he can make it to that point soon! That night we saw a guy named Brother Stanitch who is an older guy who is not all the way there, but he is super funny he keep claiming that he has seen me on Facebook in a picture with a bunch of other missionaries who i have never met, but it is funny. It was a good lesson he is hilarious!
Friday we did lots of planning as usual! Then we had correlation and dinner at our Ward Mission Leaders house and that was crazy we had crapes and his kids were going crazy the whole time throwing powdered sugar in the air and stuff like that but it was a good dinner that night it rained hard and we read the Book of Mormon with a guy named Chuck who is disabled he is less active because of health and I found my new favorite verses in the Book of Mormon! They are 2nd Nephi 17-24 they are super good I love them!
Saturday we did some tracting then we had an appt with a former investigator and she pushed it back form 1 to 2 which was fine. Our joint teacher was cool with that. Then we were on our way out there and she pushed it to 3. So we did a ton of stopbys with this guy in the ward and was cool with it. So that was good then we finally got to see her and she used to have a baptism date but she dropped it. She is a single mom of 4 kids and you can tell she is trying really hard she has so much potential it will be a hard path, but I think we can help her get back on track again!
On Sunday we biked like all day long and it was tiring but it was good. We did some tracting and then one of the office workers dropped off us some box springs for our beds so that is great. So now I won't sink into my bed which is good I slept better last night! Well that is all for this well till next week
