Week 33:Training Visits are Cancelled!


Hey everyone! This has been an interesting week to say the least. We had a lot of good times and we had a couple bombs dropped on us from the Stratfords. Transfers are this Thursday, stay tuned to discover my fate!

Here's a quick run through of this week:
Monday was overall a pretty good day. We didn't really do anything too exciting. We bought groceries and played basketball at the church, and that was about it. Things did get interesting when we first got to the church. More on that will be mentioned in the funny moment of the week.
Tuesday was slow going. We made a video for our zone Facebook page and played some basketball at the church. We spent a lot of time up in the penthouse in our apartment building which is on the 27th floor. The view is incredible!
Wednesday we had training visits with the District Leader. They live right below us, so we had to go on quite the adventure to see them. We had a whole bunch of lesson with investigators they have, which was super awesome. Other than that, we didn't really do too much.
Thursday we had our last Zone call with the Stratfords. It was pretty depressing because they are the best. The time flew by too fast with them here, but I'm excited for the new Mission President! After the zone call we called a bunch of members and set up some lessons. Other than that, things were just slow going.
Friday was a whole bunch of the same stuff as yesterday. We called a whole bunch of people in our area book and set up some lessons. That was pretty much it.
Saturday we had another training visit with Elder Hibbard and Elder Allen. It was pretty dang fun. We had a few lessons and then got some Wendy's. After that we played some basketball at the church and listened to a couple church talks.
Sunday was the fateful day where we found out the news. Training visits are no more for the time being. We had a mission wide call and the Stratfords basically said that they have some wrong information and training visits are a no go. After that nothing else really happened.
Monday we did a whole bunch of Facebook work which didn't really go anywhere. We reached out to a bunch of members and most of them seemed open to lessons. The others just ignored us. It's nonstop good times.
Tuesday was the fateful day of finding out about transfers. Things really got shaken up in the mission! There are so many missionaries in each zone! Things are definitely getting crazy! 

Funny moment of the week:
When we went to the church on P day we accidentally set off the security alarm. Yep. Our church building has a security alarm. When you get in the building you have to type in a code on a panel inside the church. When we went in, Elder Hibbard accidentally hit a number twice and the code was wrong. The siren started blaring and the cops were on their way. We kept trying to punch the code in again but it didn't work. We called the Bishop and he said to put it in again, so we did. It actually worked surprisingly! The cops never showed up though which was interesting. But yeah, good times!

Miracle of the week:
My miracle is that I'm staying with Elder Parker here in the Cleveland YSA. I'm pumped that I get to finish training him here. This is definitely going to be a fun transfer! I'm keeping my hopes up!

Love,
Elder Bohn
