Houghton Lake Life

So yesterday was busy, we went at 9am to wake up Bob to make sure he would be awake for a member family to pick him up, and we went to our meeting at the church. We get out of the meeting to the chapel (now around 9:50) and we don't see Bob. He disappeared! We looked around the building, came back in. At like 9:58 he comes in, apparently he just went over to the gas station. After church, we go take the sacrament to a lady in a care facility, she was deaf. Took us a while to have her understand what we we asking her (yelling at her?). Away from the hustle and bustle, we had a great day, in the evening we gave a blessing to an older member, he's pretty cool, reminds me a little of Grandpa Ostler. Tonight I'm going off on trade-offs! Gonna be fun. I love seeing what happens in other areas, and learning new things.
Love you all!

Great Place to Be

Hello everybody! Still having a great time here, met with quite a number of people this week. While door-knocking on Tuesday, we met Molly. Very caring lady. She talked a lot of her family, she has American Indian ancestors, and loves to coupon. She had a rough past, was into drugs, but is now drug-free, and helps others overcome addictions. I'm certain us teaching the restored gospel of Christ will make so much sense to her. She would be a strength to the branch, can't wait to see what changes will happen in the branch in the next few months. Seems like there's already been some excitement, Elder Bob tells me that a few less-actives are already making progress. I may have already written about this, but here goes, there's a young family, Bob and Molly with five boys, that really add to the branch and were actually answers to prayers of the members a while ago. We're going over to their house on Thursday, to help celebrate Elder Bob's 1 year mark. It's gonna be fun! I'm loving this place, and am excited to keep serving here, talk to you all later! Love, Elder Stolp
