Crazy Week!

 

Sent Shoemaker home this week.  It was sad to see him go, but I love my new companion elder Key.  He is a small town hick from Wyoming!! We get along super well and we are always singing country music. haha he's a cool guy.  

So This week has been super weird.  Wednesday while my companion was unpacking I decided to call Carolyn (our only Progressing investigator) and see if we could set up another appointment and she told me she wants to get baptized into another church... So we are down to zero investigators.  That night our power went out in our apartment and then Thursday morning two guys showed up and shut off our water.  We found out that the lady who owns our apartment hasn't paid her bills since January.  We also have no heat. haha So no electricity, heat, or water.  It's great.  We are staying with Rotterdam north elders but their apartment is one little room and whenever the guy above them showers then it rains from the roof. So they are in the process of moving as well.  We have also gotten a lot of other bills in the mail and this lady who owns our place hasn't paid taxes in a long time either and we got a letter saying if she doesn't pay soon then the cops and a repoman will show up and take everything out of the apartment.... our things!!! haha so we try to carry all of our valuables with us just in case.  So the church tried to just pay off her bills for her but they won't allow that without permission from her.  The only thing is they think she is either dead or left the country.  haha its great! Almost no missionary work got done this week because we have to sit in our apartment waiting for calls and such and we have to travel every night and morning from Rotterdam north and back so we haven't gotten much accomplished.  We might move next Saturday to a sweet apartment with the rot north elders.  It’s on an island!! Their bishop told us we would be moving from hell to heaven.  So I'm pretty excited about that.
