Hey everyone, what an
interesting week this has been! We had a mini transfer on Wednesday, but Elder
Parker and I both stayed. However, Elder Allen's companion, who was the
District Leader, left and he is now with a reassigned missionary. Which brought about the fateful phone call telling me I was the new District Leader. Wish me luck! The work is
going forward, slowly but surely, but it's going forward!
Here's a quick run
through of the week:
Monday we went and
shopped at some thrift stores and hung out at the church for a while. We played
basketball and called it a day.
Tuesday was just
another average day. We set up some lessons and played basketball at the
church.
Wednesday was the day
of transfers, we said goodbye to Elder Yukihiro and he got shipped off to my
old stomping grounds in Worthington. When the Cleveland 3rd elders came back we
met Elder Allen's new companion, Elder Black. He's a reassigned missionary from
Chile. In the afternoon the housing coordinator came by and dropped off an
entire apartments worth of stuff because next month the mission is opening
another apartment in this building. However they decided that it would be a fun
idea to just store all the stuff in our apartment until then. It's fine, it's
whatever. Other than that nothing too crazy happened.
Thursday we had
District Council that went pretty smoothly. Afterwards we had a bunch of member
lessons that went really good. It was a pretty busy day overall!
Friday was just
another average day. We had our weekly planning session and we listed out every
single member in our area book and we are going to contact them all this week.
Saturday was yet
another average missionary day. We did some Facebook work and set up some
lessons. We had a missionary coordination meeting and played some basketball to
wrap up the day.
Sunday we did a lot of
painting in the morning and joined our Branch Council call. Following that we
had our Branch devotional and the speaker talked about feeling the spirit and
receiving revelation during hard times. The rest of the day we called a bunch
of members and set up lessons. At the end of the day we had our weekly mission
wide devotional call. President Horgesheimer's old Bishop talked about prayer
and how to receive answers to our prayers. It was one of the most spiritual
devotionals I've had out here, it was phenomenal!
Funny moment of the
week:
Well, to be short.
Missionaries on Facebook have single handedly destroyed the Church's Facebook
page. I'm not sure how it works, but somehow the Church has a negative rating
on Facebook because of the missionaries leaving positive reviews on it and the
Facebook Admins thinking we are spam accounts. Its tragic, but horribly funny!
Miracle of the week:
A member of the
Cleveland 3rd ward bought all 4 of us pizza because we did a Come Follow Me
lesson with him. That was some delicious pizza! It was much needed this week!
Love,
Elder Bohn
