Monday 9- After emailing and shopping and hanging out, we had an FHE at the Bishop's house. We watched the Christmas Devotional and I saw Brother Gunnell in the choir. He got some good camera time.
Tuesday 10- We changed the front brakes and tires on the car as both were very worn down. That took a long and boring time. We saw Emilee and Robert. It was a good lesson. She's progressing well but he's just not interested in anything. We tried to see Tamara but she rescheduled.
Wednesday 11- We had a district meeting about using time wisely. And then we played dodgeball as a district... We tried to go to a dentist but they closed at noon. BAH! Then we saw Sister Buboltz and talked for a while. Then we went to see the Scott's. We then went and taught Tamara. It's always crazy teaching her. There's a bunch of little kids running around and it's really hard to focus. Then we went to splits at the church. We tried to contact a media referral but it was a bad address. So we saw the Elder's Quorum president instead. We talked to them about missionary work and they're doing well at that.
Thursday 12- We went to a dentist to see about getting a mouth guard but it was a depressing visit. I don't like the dentist. Then we saw Esclon. He's a very interesting less-active member. You just never know what he's going to do. After having a good heart-to-heart with him, we visited with the McGill's. They recently moved into our ward and they're awesome. They're just really nice and funny people. Then we had dinner with Sister Kerr.
Friday 13- Weekly planning! Woo hoo... We drove down into Detroit. Around 6.5 mile. It was eye-opening. Just burned down houses and trash everywhere. It was crazy. We saw some less-active members and one really nice investigator, Mrs. Lock. It was just different to talk to people down there. It's a foreign country. Then we went to the Topp's for dinner and had a grand time. They're just a nice family.
Saturday 14- It snowed. A bunch! Like 8-ish inches. And we still had to go out. President Gerber served his mission in Alaska so we're pretty sure he's never going to give us any sympathy for the cold. We went to two baptisms, had an investigator at one, Emilee. Neither of the baptisms were ours though. Then we saw the Scott's again. It's always fun teaching them. Then we went with Brother Myers to go see some people. No one was home though.
Sunday 15- We had church and it was fun. I got to help bless the Sacrament, something I haven't done in a looooong time. We had 4 less-active members at church, which was awesome. It's fun to see the fruits of your labors. We had dinner with the Ward Mission Leader and his family. It was quite fun. Brother Burnette is very bold and blunt with everything he does and says. It's great to hear his opinions on things. Also, dinner was pretty great. She's practically a gourmet chef.
Monday 16- That's today! I haven't done anything else than email today...
I love you all so much! Stay safe if the weather is bad.
-Elder Michael Carlson
I forgot!!!! Pictures! Or really, picture... It's the Christmas corner of my desk.
