New Stuff

Hey all!
Yep, it's way nice up here! Rained a bit off and on, but ain't no thang. I live in the basement of a family's home, very neat. Their four kids are quite the bunch, I hear 'em running, jumping, and carrying on frequently. They started school today 'cuz it's a law in Michigan for schools to wait till after Labor day, so I'll probably hear less of them. Their parents are way involved in activities and stuff, very supportive of us missionaries. Oh! four elders serve in the branch, the other set are Zone Leaders, living in an apartment. I'm serving with Elder Bob, this transfer will be his last one! He's from Idaho, and has 7 siblings. A few days ago, he really wanted to teach with the painting of Jesus visiting the Americas, but no one would listen long enough for us to get to the, "here's a painting, ever seen it?" The very last door of the day, we introduced ourselves, the woman was like "I've got a church," then Elder Ferons whipped out the painting, the woman was interested a bit, and a conversation ensued! She mentioned that her daughter read the B.O.M., so she was open to us giving her a copy. I really like Moroni 7:33, it mentions that with faith, we can accomplish or achieve all that God would have for us.
 Love!
Elder Brian Stolp
