Hello everybody! This past week flew right on by as we had nothing but fun times and dean lessons (dean means awesome or sweet. It is and Ohio thing) in the schedule! Nothing too much has changed for us in the mission, we are still doing the same things we have been for the past little while. It's all good though. I'm having a blast!
Here's a quick run through of the week:
Monday was one of the best days of my mission! Today was Sister Stratford's birthday so we decided to surprise her with a cake. The ZLs and APs came over to our apartment and helped us bake and decorate a cake. We all then piled into the truck and went over to the mission home. We got there and we waited for President and Sister Stratford to get there. As soon as they walked in we brought out the cake and started singing happy birthday! It was such a sweet moment! We then sat around and ate cake and ice cream and talked with Sister Stratford for a while. Another fun part of the day was that there was a tornado warning while we were at the mission home. Overall it was a super exciting day!
Tuesday was just another average isolation day as a missionary. We had a couple lessons that went really good and we had a good time. Other than that, nothing too crazy happened.
Wednesday we had a crazy fun day! More on the morning will be mentioned in the funny moment of the week. But, we had a training visit with the ZLs and we had some non stop good times. I went with Elder Holmes for the day and we had a good ole time. We called a bunch of members and had a ton of lessons. We also played a lot of basketball at the church so I was exhausted at the end of the day. We stayed the night with them and just talked before going to sleep.
Thursday we came back here to Worthington and just had another normal day of missionary work in isolation. One fun part was in the afternoon, one of the youth was graduating this year. The ward was going to do a drive by celebration for them, so we decided to get in on the action. We put some streamers on the car with signs and a balloon. It was pretty fun! The family was happy to see us!
Friday we had one of the most interesting referrals that we got into contact with. She seemed normal at first, but then she got weird. All I'll say is that she considers her Thomas the Train toys her children and thinks that trains are living creatures. Yep. It was a very awkward phone call. Other than that, nothing else really happened.
Saturday we went and shot a whole bunch of videos for our zone page with the Elders in our zone. It went pretty good overall and we got some Taco bell so I can't complain. Later that night we got to play some basketball with Aramus our recent convert in the ward and had an all out good time.
Sunday was a pretty good day. It went by pretty slow, but it was all good. We had lessons with a couple members and the ZLs went around to all the Elders in the zone and gave them blessings. It was a sweet time!
Funny moment of the week:
On that Wednesday morning we woke up at 5:30 am and went to have a Surprise training visit with the ZLs. We got there around 6:25 am and started throwing bark at their window to wake them up and let us in. We scared the crap out of them when we started pounding on the door and ringing the doorbell. They weren't too happy to see us at first, but they still let us in and we ended up having a good time!
Miracle of the week:
One thing our mission President has told us to do is to ask God for a miracle. They are always out there, we just need to ask for them. So the night before we had our surprise training visit I prayed that Heavenly Father would send us someone to teach that for that week. When we woke up in the morning and got to Marysville, we saw that we had a referral for someone to teach. We are in contact with them and are having weekly Bible readings, but we left them a Book of Mormon the other day. Miracles are out there, you just have to ask for them.
Love,
Elder Bohn
