Holy smokes! This past week has definitely been a fun one! It was nonstop good times like normal filled to the brim with grilling and exploring! I hope that you all are doing good and I'm wishing the best for you!
Here's a quick run through of the week:
Monday was yet again another hoot n a holler! Chillin' and grillin' are always the highlights of my P days now! We spent the day with the Zone leaders and Assistants having an all out good time. We grilled up corn on the cob, steak, ribs, donuts, rolls, and we had some mac n cheese on the side. This is some of the best eating I've had on my mission so far! After we had our feast we worked it off by roping and throwing a frisbee. We ended up staying the night with our Zone leaders because we were having our training visits the next day.
Tuesday was a day long to be remembered. We got a text from President Stratford saying that if any Elders in our zone wanted a haircut, they could come to the mission home and get one. We were pumped so the 4 of us scheduled a time with Sister Stratford and drove down to the mission home. What ensued afterwards will be included in the funny moment of the week. Following that harrowing experience we went on a hike in the same spot that we did last week. It was pretty fun overall and the 4 of us stayed together pretty much all day except for a couple hours. That night the 4 of us stayed the night in Worthington and had an absolute blast.
Wednesday we spent the entire day together again which is always fun. We went on some adventures and the fun came to an end when we got a call from the Sisters asking us where all the jumpsuits were in the Dublin building. They thought we stole them since we had the last baptisms. The only problem was that there weren't any of them there when we had our baptisms, we had to take the jumpsuits from the Marysville building. In the end we ended up just giving them a couple jumpsuits from the Marysville building and calling it good. They still weren't happy and we're pretty sure they hate us, but it's all good. After that we went our separate ways and went back to our areas.
Thursday was a rather boring day. We didn't do too much. We had a couple lessons, but that was about it.
Friday we had a Zone call with President Stratford and he told us that he is changing up our daily schedule. He is wanting us to start doing more and more finding and teaching online. We are now doing 8 - 30 minute finding sessions, 4 - 30 minute teaching sessions, and 4 - 15 minute break times. I'm excited for the work that we will begin doing and the miracles that will come of it. After that we had a couple lessons that went really good.
Saturday was a slow going day well. We had a couple really spiritual lessons that really brightened my day. More will be mentioned in the miracle of the week.
Sunday was another slow going day. We had a couple lessons that went well and the devotional that we watched. Overall it was a really good day!
Miracle of the week:
On Saturday when we were having the lessons, we called one of the members to set up a time and to check up on them. They were so happy to hear from us. They said that they had been having a rough time with self isolation and not getting to talk to anyone. When the lesson was over, the member said that she wanted a lesson again next week and was super excited to get weekly lessons. It is a blessing to have such amazing ward members that are always up for a lesson!
Funny moment of the week:
So on that fateful Tuesday morning we drove to the mission home not sure what our fates would be. When we got there, Sister Stratford opened the garage and said that this is where she'll be cutting us. We asked her if she had cut hair before and she replied, "Well, I watched 2 hours of hair cutting videos yesterday!" I knew at that point I was going to kiss my hair goodbye. She looked at Elder Erickson and said, "you're first!". She sat Elder Erickson down in a chair and put a trash bag over him and started cutting. I don't know who was more nervous about the hair cuts, us or Sister Stratford. The funniest part was right in the middle of Elder Erickson's haircut, President came out and just started laughing and said, "You all are so screwed!" And then he went back inside. Next it was my turn and I was pretty scared. I thought I was going to lose an ear or something, but in the end I survived and my hair doesn't look half bad, from a distance of course. It was pretty fun getting to hang out with the Stratfords again and have an all out good time. Whenever I think that they can't get any better, they get even better!
Love,
Elder Bohn
