Hello everyone! Holy cow, this has been one crazy week with all the good times we've been having! I'm excited for this new transfer and all the good times that are in store! I hope that you all are doing good wherever you may be and I wish you the best!
Here's a quick run through of the week:
Wednesday was a pretty laid back p day because we didn't have to pack any of our stuff up for transfers. We hung out with the ZLs and the Polaris Elders for the day and had an all out good time. We grilled up some chicken, steak, and pineapple. After that we played some basketball and just sat and talked for a while. We stayed the night with the ZLs because they were replacing the water heater at our apartment and they didn't want us there. We weren't complaining!
Thursday we got up in the morning and we went to transfers. We had to go because we were picking up a missionary who was going home the next day. His name was Elder McVey. We got to transfer and talked with all the Elders there and waiting for him to show up and it was pretty fun. When he got there we loaded up the car and decided to go to the mission home. More on this will be in the funny moment of the week. Afterwards we went back go Marysville with the ZLs and had a party. We grilled up some burgers and wanted to make the best of Elder McVey's last night in the mission. As we were partying, we all had the fantastic idea to pull an all-nighter because we had to leave at 4am the next morning to get him to the church building. Elder Holmes and Erickson went over to the gas station and grabbed some Rockstars and some snacks in preparation for an even better time. (Don't worry, I didn't drink any of them) We stayed up all night just talking and reminiscing on good times and it was amazing. At like 2:30 we all got pretty hungry so I made some mac n cheese. I don't know if we were just crazy from sleep deprivation or what, but that was probably the best mac n cheese I've ever had in my life! Eventually it got to 3:30 and Elder McVey went and got ready for his flight and we slept for like 30 minutes.
Friday started at like 4am I've decided. When Elder McVey finished getting ready we loaded in the car and drove over to the Dublin building. We got there and just threw the football to pass the time until the APs got there. When everyone finally got there we loaded up the trailer and they left. But, as they were leaving everyone who just dropped them off stood by the exit to the parking lot and shouted, "Hoorah for Israel!". It was sweet to see their faces as they drove by. After that morning we were dead. Nothing else really happened for the rest of the day until the ZLs came that night for Elder Bosworth's birthday. We baked a cake and sang him happy birthday and then they went back home to Marysville.
Saturday was a pretty slow going day. Nothing too exciting happened for the most part. We had a couple really awesome lessons, but that was about it.
Sunday was a lot of fun overall. We participated in ward council in the morning and it went pretty good. After that we had a lesson with Bishop's family and then went to the church to give a Sister a blessing which was pretty sweet. After that we went over to the APs apartment to grab a cake pan. They weren't there when we grabbed it so we made a mattress teepee in their living room and left a note saying that the ZLs did it. And that was pretty much it for the day. We had a good time!
Miracle of the week:
A miracle this past week to me is all the progress we were able to make with the ward. They talked about how happy they were with the way we were doing things during ward council and that they want to help us with anything we want or need to do. It's truly amazing to see how diligent and helpful this ward is with missionary work!
Funny moment of the week:
So right after transfers, I'm not sure whose idea it was, but we decided to go back to the Stratford Salon. We all got another round of cuts and Elder Erickson is missing a chunk right above his ear. She did pretty good on mine, but I'm still not sure why we went back besides the fact that Sister Stratford is the best ever!
Love,
Elder Bohn
