Happy Presidents Day!

yo. miracles are happening in plymouth. we've been finding some new people to work with who are sweet. there's this one girl who's been working with some of the sister missionaries in a different area of the mission, she was getting ready for a surgery so they asked if we could go over to see her to give her a blessing because she was staying with some family in our area. so we did a few weeks ago and we could tell right away how solid she was. she's already planning on baptism but the surgery slowed that down a little, but it couldn't slow down her testimony. she's top notch. so they asked us to go over again a few days ago because her surgery would be the next day, it turns out she's moving into the plymouth ward boundaries. we're pumped to get to be working with her now.

someone else we met when i was on an exchange with one of the dearborn elders in plymouth. we were knocking doors and talked to this one lady for 20-30 minutes at her door. she asked if we could come in to share more with her, but we couldn't because we didn't have another man with us so we set up to see her the next day and brought someone with us. that lesson went really well. she's been looking for a new church and has been wanting to get her 8 year old son baptized. we let her know that we'd be happy to help her out with that.

last night we went over to see the whitfields, that sweet family that was just baptized with those rad twin brothers. we're trying to work with their aunt who lives in the same apartment complex, and when she didn't come over for the appointment we took the twins and knocked on her door but she didn't come out. so we asked them where we should go do missionary work instead and they took us to one of their friend's place. that family let us in and were really excited about the message of the restoration. we're taking the twins over tonight to teach them again. so that was cool, but i think the best part was that travis and tevin were willing to spread the good word like it ain't no thang. they're still new to the church and they're not afraid of nothin, they know it's true so naturally they know their friends and family need to hear about it. a good example for me.

that's pretty much it, missionary work all day every day. we're still getting ready for the gladys knight fireside. the ward members are kicking butt at inviting people. there was a neat experience with one lady in the ward. she called her cousin to invite her to the firside and left a voicemail explaining all the info. the person she called called her back and said "i got your voicemail, you called the wrong number actually, i'm not your cousin.....but i'll take some of those tickets". so that lady got herself four tickets, no one knows her yet but she's going to feel the spirit super strong in a few weeks.

we did some service and cleaned a fish tank. i don't think i ever want to have fish as pets. i'll still eat them though.


have a good week and a happy presidents day! most of those guys are members of the church now. maybe the next president will be too. love you guys!
