thug life

Yoo. It's about 60 degrees out here in Plymouth. The sun's out and the ice is nowhere to be seen. People who've lived in Michigan their whole lives have said this has been the mildest winter they've ever seen, so I can't complain especially after last year on bike in the D, but i'm still excited spring's almost here.
This week was really good. We had a cool day with President Holmes. One of his daughters was married last weekend and the rest of the family was busy with wedding business afterwards. This left President by himself for most of the week so he decided to spend a day with all the zone leaders. So we met up with him Wednesday night and he slept over then spent all Thursday with us. We set up really good appointments to bring him to...and most of them ended up canceling. So we did a lot of tracting. So that was dumb. But the lessons we did have went really well, it worked out that he needed to be there for those particular lessons. And we've been doing district work-outs once or twice a week at the stake center for our morning exercises. We usually play ultimate or basketball. We managed to get president out to that in the morning, ha he's pretty competetive. So that was cool.
The mission fireside this month was put together by our stake so we helped pick some of the speakers. Lil' Wayne spoke and shared his experience of joining the church. Such a cool guy. His parents came and really enjoyed it. They'll also be going to the Gladys Knight fireside. They're definitely feeling the spirit from his powerful testimony. Wayne said one of the sacrament prayers this sunday for the first time too. he was pumped about that. The other recent convert speaker was another lady from our ward named Brenda. her and her husband were baptized right before i came into the area, her testimony was top notch too.
we're working with a new investigator who i wrote about last week i think. she's really prepared. she was working with the sister missionaries in another area and just moved into our area. she's on date for a few weeks out. she could be baptized right away just based off of her testimony and understanding, but we wanted to give her some time to meet the ward. she came out to the Plymouth Ward for the first time yesterday and enjoyed it. and we had another lady with her son their for the first time. our ward mission leader and his family picked them up, they have a son the same age. she liked it and wants to come next week. and that family's taking them to the gladys knight fireside now too.
this week was elder adamson's birthday (turned 25, he's a wise old man). we had a birthday dinner at a recent convert family's house this week. they gave me a Dr Dre tshirt for my present. thug life.
well i gotta go. super busy today. preparation days are always busy. we have zone conference this week and we have to put together our instruction today.
love ya guys.
