Well, it's November 21, 2011 at 12:23 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. I'm sitting here in library in Coldwater, Michigan sitting next to a rabbi and my companion. You think I'm joking.
It was a pretty solid week. I went to Western Michigan Unversity for a trade-off. A drunk white girl whistled at me (it was 2 in the afternoon) and a big black lady eating a sucker went "mmm mmm mmm" at me. I'm scarred for life. But, it was cool. We taught these two kids, Tim and Whendle. They look like Michael Vick and Theo Huxtable, respectively. No joke. Then, we went to his professional pianists house and sang Christmas songs. I chose "Ring Out, Wild Bells" as a joke. The guy looked at me, in a quirky way and said, "Oh my, that's my favorite. Thank you so much!" and went into it. I had a good laugh about it.
Then, we had a couple lessons with our top investigator. He had is baptismal date pushed back, but whatever. I'm almost done being trained, which is crazy.
Yesterday I made a guy really, really mad at the door step. He opened the door and was super mean. Then he said is sister belongs to the RLDS church(for you non-members, that's Reformed Latter-day Saints, they broke off from our church and do all the same stuff except they don't follow the Lord's commandments). He asked us if that's where we went to church. I said, without thinking, "No man, we go to the real one." He was not excited. I got a little mad and told him that the RLDS people were "diet mormons" and he was even more not excited. He was about to slam his door on us anyway.
Nobody is going to feed us for Thanksgiving. So.... I'm not sure what we're going to do. I figure I'll just learn how to cook. Sink or swim right?
Earlier this week, I ate dinner at some redneck family's house. They fed us really good food. Afterward, I saw a banjo. I got way excited and starting strumming and playing it like a guitar. The whole family laughed and their son took it. He started playing an old hick song and sang. It was about moonshine. It made me laugh so hard. Then, we had a heart to heart with one of their sons who wants to serve a mission now after they work out some financial issues.
Nothing else too exciting, I'm decorating a Christmas tree this week. So excited.
Stay sweet.
