It's a Kodak moment!

I made it to the Kodak apartment. It's a nice area. The apartment is in a nice place but it's kind of far from a laundromat, walmart, post office. Etc.

Let's see... So far, we've just stopped by a lot of random people. Nothing too crazy. Checked up on some referrals that they hadn't visited for some unknown reason.

The area had no organization to it. I feel like I spend all my time organizing areas then get transferred. So far we've began to organize everything. Split up the area into 4 sections. Made 4 lists, one for each section. Then listed everyone in order by geographic location. Which wasn't too hard this time around. We did it smarter this time. Then we got the white board set up and organized.

The ward has a "fasting calendar" which is pretty cool. People sign up to fast on that day for the missionaries. The problem is the missionaries have to call the night before to remind them and tell them what to fast for. So we need to set up a way to make sure we contact them.

So they had a baptism this Saturday. That was almost a train wreck! Nothing was planned so we were frantically calling people Thursday night to make sure we had everything. We ended up getting everything. Then we show up at the church at 8am to fill the font. Which is an elaborate process to make sure it's warm. We turn it on the the steady stream of warm water. 3 hours pass. It's only a foot full and the water isn't keeping warm. Frantically we start a bucket filling system from the other side that is hooked up to another water heater. We fill it up and dump it into the font. Back and forth. Turns out there is a slight leak in the drain or something. So we are fighting against that. The font barely gets filled in time but the janitorial closet on the other side ends up flooding over a little bit and we had to set upa fan to dry off the carpet for church the next day. But we barely got the font filled (and a decently warm temperature) in time for the 2pm baptism. Barely. She got baptized and all went well from there. She had been coming to church for a year or so. So she should be a solid member.

Other than that we are going to the Redwings game with Ron (non member, never going to change, not even investigating But filthy rich and likes missionaries. I was friends with him before I came to the area). Supposedly. The AP's invited themselves and told us we have to wear Proselyting clothes. Which is weird, awkward and kind of inappropriate attire for the game. Oh well. It'll be fun!
