I Don't Want To Go Detroit

Image
What's good? The past 2 weeks have been really good and I've had a lot of awesome  experiences. I sadly do not know if I'm staying or leaving. The hinting seems to be  toward leaving, but I will find out for sure on Wednesday and Thursday.  I have really enjoyed Detroit and I hope I get to be a missionary here again. I have met  lots and lots of good people. We just seem to have a problem getting them to church,  but I'm going to try a few different things this week. We also have a hard time getting  members involved into our lessons. We don’t have a lot of member and there are 6  missionaries in this branch so it is stretched pretty thin.   As for my pictures, I share an apartment with another companionship, you'll see them in  that photo of 4.   For the other ones, I got to go to the Ford Museum and it was incredible, I didn't see all  of it and I was there for a good 3 hours. I did get to sit were Rosa Parks sat, imagin...

Crazy Week

This week was crazy. One I won't forget for many reasons, but I love being a missionary. I won't go in to too much detail but we had an incident at our building where the S.W.A.T. showed up, along with everyone else? I got the chance to met thee DUST Detroit. Which was cool. He's actually a really nice guy and we're gonna go to there place and they're gonna show us some self defense things. We got the chance to go to the Detroit Temple because our Zone activity was at the church next door, so it was good to see and feel the peace. Other than that, Rich Getz who was supposed to get baptized, has some things holding him back. We're still working with him though. I had some awesome exchanges with the ZL's (zone leaders) and we saw how hard work and consist effort pays off. We met a lot of people that day and even though we weren't seeing as much success as we want, the Lord blessed us with lots of referrals the next day. Being a missionary is awesome, and I...

Follow Those Impressions

What’s good! This last week was awesome! We had a crazy week of finding and starting to teach like 17 new people! Of course some of them are hopeful, but some may have just been nice. Sadly none of them came to church, so I'm going to have to work on that part. Most of them need rides and it's hard with having a branch and you share a car with 4 other missionaries. I had an exchange with a new missionary, Elder Stubler. He's a great missionary and we were in his area for the day. After a few lessons we were tracking and as I was driving. I had a strong impression to knock a street, so I took a left and went around the block to get there. Once we got there, we found a few people but it still felt like we needed to be there. As we were walking towards another house there was a lady sitting in her car. Elder Stubler felt inclined to talk to her, so he did and she said, "oh you just talked to my dad, he's the one in that house."...
