Hey everyone! This has been quite an eventful week! We said goodbye to the Stratfords and we got to meet the Horgesheimers. I am so excited to be serving with them for the this next year and a half!
Here's a quick run through of this week:
Monday was just another average P day in the life of a missionary. We went on a quick walk after going grocery shopping. After that, we went over to the church and played basketball.
Tuesday we had a bunch of lessons planned and it was going to be an awesome day, but then all the lessons cancelled. So we ended up just improvising and just found other stuff to do. Facebook work is only so much fun. To end the day off we got some teriyaki from this restaurant down the street, it was pretty dang good! Then we had a video call as an entire mission and we got to talk with the Horgesheimers. They are so nice and they are super ready to go to work. This is going to be a good time!
Wednesday we had District Council which is always a hoot. It went pretty good and we had some good trainings. Throughout the day we managed to set up 7 lessons for the rest of week which is awesome! At the end of the day we were on a branch coordination call and apparently we ran out of our unlimited data from the church so we couldn't be on the call. It's just nonstop good times!
Thursday we had a bunch of lessons scheduled which is fine and dandy, but we don't have high speed data anymore. So we were pretty much camped out at the church for most of the day for lessons.
Friday we got to have interviews with the Horgesheimers in person. We met with and talked with them as a companionship for the sake of time. They are such spiritual giants and they just pump you up and get you wanting to get working! After meeting them we cleaned the apartment and did some Facebook work.
Saturday was quite the day for us! We had such a good time! We called a bunch of members and set up lessons for this next week and had really good studies. At the end of the day we watched fireworks in the penthouse and ate some Panda Express. It was nonstop good times!
Sunday we had our branch devotional in the morning which went pretty good. We had companionship study with the Cleveland 3rd Elders and ended up talking a lot about random deep doctrine and read some scriptures together.
Funny moment of the week:
We were doing Facebook work one day and Elder Parker came across a post on a Christian Facebook page that was pretty wild. Someone was asking a question about sinning. In the comments someone asked the question, "Is it bad to take pills and get fat?" If that wasn't weird enough someone replied to that comment saying that if you do take pills and get fat, you should be stoned because your body is a temple. I love Christians on Facebook! They are so kind and insightful!
Miracle of the week:
While we were watching fireworks in the penthouse, some random guy was up there. We were just sitting watching the fireworks and we invited him to come sit by us and watch the fireworks. We started talking and we introduced ourselves and got to know each other. His name is Rhetta (I'm not sure how to spell it) and he is from Saudi Arabia. We talked about what we were doing in Ohio and just life in general. When we were leaving he said that we would have to meet up sometime and talk some more. He didn't seem too interested in the gospel, but he seems like just an awesome guy to be friends with. It was awesome getting to talk to people in person again!
Love,
Elder Bohn
