Hey everybody!
So this past week was pretty great! While on an exchange with the District Leader, we worked at a soup kitchen for a couple of hours. That was a fun and different experience. There are some funny people that come into soup kitchens, especially in Detroit. But it was a lot of fun, and I totally would do it again.
We were going to have our Branch Christmas party last Saturday, but it ended up getting canceled because we got like 8 inches of "treacherous Utah like snow", so we just turned it into a linger longer after church the next day. It was/is CRAZY biking in the snow though! Biking in snow is so much harder than you would think. Literally everything makes you almost wipe out. It's so much fun! But the city of Detroit stinks at plowing. All they did is dump massive amounts of salt on the road without plowing first. It was funny, because it was just somebody who had a pickup with a plow that ended up being the one clearing the street we live on. Gotta love the D :)
But yeah, it's pretty cold outside, and our heat doesn't work, so that's nice :) I am surviving the cold quite well! If I get cold, I just need to bike for a few minutes and then I'm sweating, which makes me get cold again when we stop. It's a process ;)
We had a fun experience with getting a headquarter referral. So we get a text from HQ (BYU) telling us that a person in our area requested a Bible. Of course she lives at the farthest corner of our area, but we bike the 30 or so minutes to her house only to find that she wasn't there. Then we had the brilliant idea to call her. So we do that, and she asks us to just leave the Bible on her steps. We were like ...Rats, now we can't even share our message with her. So what I did was I took a Book of Mormon pass-along card, stuck it in Isaiah 29, and underlined the chapter heading (Look it up). We'll see if anything comes of it :)
Anyways, That's my letter for the week :)
(What we do to District Leaders in Detroit)
I'll talk to you all next week!
