Today was an amazing day! Haha spent basically all of Pday cleaning which was really good! And tonight we went and gave a lady in the hospital a blessing! Which was cool, then we went and taught a guy named John, he lives in an old Chevy van with a canoe on top! Haha he is such a good guy and loves the church! Hes just smart and I love him so much! Elder Connolly is a really good guy! He is super unsure about a lot of things, like just nervous. He apologizes about a lot of things and just wants to be sincere Haha we'll have fun together! I am super pumped about this transfer and the next couple! Its gonna be so awesome!

Today was wild and super good! We gave been super busy! Today we have been out since 12 teaching, finding, and helping people! We went for a stop by lesson at a person's house and she wasn't there but a brother of hers was and so we shared the message and he loved it! After that we walked out and helped a lady finish sweeping off her driveway and then she asked if we could go help her finish moving in so we did what any missionary would do and helped! It was awesome, her name is Marge and we are planning on teaching her next week sometime. She was previously homeless so everything we helped her move is stuff she got at a yard sell that had already been picked through and she just got basically everything that was left for free! Including a bed table chairs and couch. So that's cool! Also I may or may not have gotten a custom bowling ball, shoes and bag. I got a university of Michigan hat too so now I have swag for both of the Michigan colleges that are rivals like BYU and University of Utah, and that's where Marge was getting the stuff. It was awesome! We tried to teach our other person on date named KJ and his older sister who is also investigating the church. Their mom is kinda crazy and high most of the time and she hates us. So teaching them is hard... they live in a members home who is a recent concert and their aunt. So that's a tough situation. But it's okay. All will work out according to Gods plan! And it will be okay!
Great day in Jackson! I love it here and am having just so much fun!

Today was really good! We've been busy teaching lessons most or the night. This morning Elder Connolly was feeling pretty sick. So he didn't get up until 11. I got up at 6:30 still and did all of everything including I set up Christmas lights! It looks pretty good! Then this afternoon we called a lot of part member families trying to be able to go over and set up lessons and pick up people. It was really good and pretty effective! We found several solid people which was awesome! Tonight we went and had a lesson with Jerrett. Hes a good guy, he is 16 and wants to learn about Christ and how to be a better person. He's got a lot of issues though, he used to smoke a pack a day. He is a couple of days clean right now which is good! He's just had a hard life and has been raised in tough situations. He is a really handsome guy and I am excited to work with him and see him come to Christ! A recent convert named Jodie is having some issues, she smoked today, which is tough. She is depressed and right now shes pretty high. We called her to try and help her out tonight but we could tell over the phone she wasn't there... like she was just stoned... it was super sad. We can't do too much because we can't counsel with women. So we called the sisters and told them the situation and asked them to go check on her somewhat regularly. It was a tough moment. But all will turn out well!

Today was really good. We've been super busy, but really good. We had interviews this morning, which are always good. I love president. He is such a good guy. I love being able to talk to him and communicate with him. He is such a great guy!
We then went to have a lesson but when we got there the guy stormed out, got in a truck and drove away. We then knocked and his friend answered and said "he said to tell you that hes not interested." This guy was like in his 40s it was kinda ridiculous. But at least we know they aren't interested. After that we had a baptism interview down in Jonesville, which was good. It was kinda weird cuz i was just chilling with the sisters while they're person was in being interviewed. It just seemed so wrong to not have a companion.... also women are scary. Being alone around them made me super nervous. I've been trained to be that way though I guess.. also I guess its not a bad thing for now.
Tonight we had a lesson with William. Hes doing okay. He is really struggling with the word of wisdom. Which sucks. Tomorrow morning we are going over to study with him and then we're gonna spend the whole day with him. Hopefully it goes well!

Today was great! This morning we went over to William's house to read the book of Mormon with him, and after that we went to brother Donnalans home to eat breakfast (ask about said breakfast.) and help him rake up his leaves. After that we left to a lunch appointment with sister Peggy. She is a great lady, she talks really loud and her voice kinda shakes all over the place. But she loves missionaries, and she loves feeding missionaries, and her husband isn't a member. So hopefully we can work on him! After that we ran to Jonesville for the baptism of Derek and Aynllin. They are really nice people. She is 18 and he is 19. They were so happy to be baptized and it was super cool to see them make that promise together!
Tonight we had family home evening and we watched The Christ Child video! It is so gooood! Invite the missionaries over and have them share it with ya cuz it's good and missionaries are awesome! If nothing else go on comeuntochrist.org or gospel library and watch it and pay special attention to Merry, Joseph, the Shepard's, and the wise men. Its amazing! So go check it out!

Today was good, church is really good. And I love being in a family ward again. Children crying during meetings, and everyone young and old who just love missionaries so much! It was awesome!
After church we had a baptism, it was a little 8 year old girl from the Johnson family. They are all wonderful beautiful people! Brother Johnson is a little lover 6 foot and has long ish hair and a beard and wore a sweet blue suit. So hes legit, and his like 5 year old son basically has the same style minus the beard! I love that family already! The baptism was super good. The joy that the girl had was just so fun to see! I love seeing people be so happy about doing good things!
Ya know how after people get baptized everyone goes back into the room and just waits and sometimes like write little notes to whoever just got baptized? Ya so they did that and we had William there with us. He is on date for the 8th of December, he wrote to her (I only know cuz I peaked sshhhhhh) he said "I will be following in your footsteps!" It was so adorable. This big tough guy that spent 20 years in prison saying that to a little 8 year old girl. It was just so cool! He is such a good guy! I love him tons!
Tonight we went to the Browns for dinner, they are this older couple in the ward, he is a convert, and she is investigating. She has been for a while but she really just wants to be ready. Anyway they fed us dinner and we shared The Christ Child video with them. It was adorable to see them because they are both fairly old, but are both so in love! It is just cool! Like they were flirting with each other and calling each other couple names and when we showed them the video they cuddled a little on the couch and it was just so cool! Because they are so old but they just love and enjoy each other so much. It was so cool to see!
Tonight we went and gave the sacrament to a old 95 year old lady. Apparently we do it every Sunday night and then we play Uno with her. Hahaha she is great. And blunt and very opinionated. Haha I love her. She us just so great!
Anyway work is good and I am loving it so much!
