Helloooo everybodyyyy this week has been a Rollercoaster of emotions let me tell you...
On Monday we had a district activity and we went to Applebee's and carved pumpkins it was so fun!!
The fall colors are POPPING and I absolutely love it!
Tuesday we had zone conference and I did a musical number. I sang a song called A Missionaries Prayer and my zone leader Elder Dabell played the piano. I was so nervous but I surprisingly didn't shake as bad as I thought I was going to lol.
Wednesday is when everything went downhill... We were having a lesson with our recent convert Chris and oh my goodness I wish I could erase that from my memory. He was saying some really mean things about the church and it just made me feel so sad and lowkey kind of just nasty. Idk how to describe it. While he was talking this lady in a full-on stripper outfit came up to us asking for help. She was dripping in sweat and said she'd been walking for hours and that she was from Flint and had no clue where she was. She told us she just got out of jail for not paying a speeding ticket and she just needed to charge her phone but she didn't have a cube. I luckily had my cube in the car which I NEVER have so we took her in the church building and helped her out. I saw it as a huge miracle because I didn't have to keep talking to Chris which sounds really mean. Anyway, we had our Book of Mormon class right after that and it went pretty well. And then after that Chris left and he called us saying he met a member of the ward and then made some really horrible accusations against them. I don't want to get into too much detail but man was it bad. While that all was happening the lady that we helped was out in the parking lot absolutely screaming at someone on the phone. Idk what ended up happening but all I know is the cops were called. We had to make a few calls to our DL, ZL, and Mission President to ask what to do about the Chris situation so needless to say, there were lots of tears that night. Luckily it was my brother's birthday so I got to cry about it to my family.
Something that has helped this week is we are teaching a few other really solid people. We had a lesson with our friend Donna who is married to a member but he sadly passed away. But she's been coming to church and she calls us Heavenly Sisters and it just makes my day better. We also are teaching this guy named Shane who we are really close to putting on date so let's hope no one else goes crazy. Another girl we are teaching is actually the niece of one of the members I'm our ward and we had a lesson with her and her aunt in the aunt's house and it was so cool!! She came to a baptism with us in Farmington Hills on Saturday!!
That's same day we were doing service for this old lady in our ward and as I was helping her hang curtains up she randomly said "How much do you weigh?" I was caught off guard and said huh? And then she said, "Yeah you the tall one if you could take a guess how much do you weigh?" So I very awkwardly told her a guess and then she was like "Oh yeah I'm close to that but to get to my goal weight I have to lose about 10 pounds." Idk what she was trying to tell me but she definitely thought we were the same height as well when I'm a lot taller than her lolol!!
Sunday was really good and just what I needed after the week I had had. It was the primary program and Holy cow I love kids!! They are so precious and just carry the spirit with them. Ngl (not gonna lie) I was not in a good mood that morning but as I was taking the Sacrament and listening to those kids, I just felt so much peace and it was so nice!!
Anyway, I hope everyone has a good week!!
Trust in the Lord!
Love,
