Well, it's another p-day. It's been a good week but it's had its ups and downs. The people still generally don't want to listen to us. We've knocked a ton of doors this week and gotten some invitations back.
Today we taught a lesson to a lady and we hope she pans out. We could have potentially three baptisms this transfer if we continue to work. This weekend we didn't get a lot done, but that's because it was general conference.
Hopefully everyone back home is doing good. I miss a lot of you, but there are things I definitely do not miss about home. Like money, school, work, relationships, finding stuff to do or anything like that. I pretty much have a focus and what not, it's pretty cool. There a million other missionaries who feel the same way.
This week we did service for this redneck family, the De Pews. They are building a house, by themselves, and needed our help. I did what I could, but I wasn't a ton of help. But, afterward Granda De Pew cooked us some chili. It ended up getting us sick, but that's not the point. He offered me a red pepper, and Elder Yeck challenged me to eat it, so I did. It was the hottest thing I've ever eaten in my life. I drink three glasses of milk, and juice, and I thought was going to throw up. I run outside and I ask his son where I should do it, in his redneck voice he says, "Uhhh, I dunno. Wherever. I'm sure the dog's will get it." Yeah, that's how the people are. It was pretty funny.
I buzzed my head today. It's super short, probably the shortest it's been in like 10 years. It's the only way to go. I'm a missionary so it doesn't matter how I look. Plus, Michigan women have facial hair. But, I don't know what else to say.
Here's another story for the journal. This old dude named Byron stopped us. Apparently he was a member but hasn't been to church in 30 years. He wants to go back to church he says. But, he was totally wasted. He completely forgot his home address and phone number. We chatted and he told us some stories. Apparently this dude has been hit by a car, fallen down a hill, wrecked a car into a tree and a bunch of other stuff. He's insanely hilarious. He gets ready to leave on his bike, and as he's pulling out, he almost immediately get's hit by a car. A drunk guy. On a bike. Riding down the highway. It's not healthy, but it's hilarious. You have to learn to love these people.
Well, I'm about done. I love you all, good bye.
