Hey everyone! This has been a wild week for us! It seems like every single week I talk about us running around like mad men, but that's pretty much what we're doing. There is nothing better than being busy as a missionary. I am absolutely loving it here in Youngstown and Elder Vaughn and I are having an awesome time!
Here's a quick run through of the week:
Monday we had a pretty awesome day. We did some service in the morning and then had a lesson with Lebron. He's a pretty awesome guy, he has a super strong testimony of Jesus Christ. He has a lot of interesting beliefs on his belief window, but we are hoping to help him resolve those things. To end off the day we played a ton of basketball and called it a night.
Tuesday we had MLC so we drove down to Columbus in the morning for like 3 hours. MLC was absolutely incredible with the trainings we got. They were all exactly what we needed to hear and focus on as a mission. When that was over we started the 3 hour drive back up to Youngstown. By the time we got back we had an hour left in the day so we just called a bunch of people.
Wednesday was a pretty uneventful day. We had a sweet District Council in the morning and we ran out of time so I didn't have to give a training so that was a blessing! Other than that the day was just spent contacting and setting up lessons.
Thursday we did training visits with the Elders in our apartment. I was with Elder Sahagun for the day and he is a stud. He's only been out a couple weeks and he is doing awesome. We taught a couple lessons together and we did some contacting to give him some practice. He's getting the hang of things pretty fast!
Friday was pretty uneventful day. We had weekly planning and did a bunch of reporting for numbers in the Zone. It's just been nonstop good times!
Saturday we went down to Alliance and did training visits with the Elders down there. I was with Elder Young for the day and we had a good time. We did a ton of Facebook work together and contacted a bunch of people. In the afternoon we went out and shot a video for our Zone Facebook page. At the end of the day we just called a bunch of people we're teaching and talked with them for a while. We were able to set up a bunch of lessons with them so it was sick!
Sunday started off pretty interesting with church over zoom. It was literally 17 minutes long. It threw us all off when we heard one speaker and them saying, "Awesome we'll end with a prayer and we'll see y'all next week". After that we had a couple really awesome lessons with people we are teaching and had an awesome miracle with a lady the Spanish Elders are teaching.
Funny moment of the week:
We were at service and some random dude walked up to us and said, "y'all from Utah right?" So we said yes to which he responded, "Ahhhh, Mitt Romney!" And then walked away. Then anytime after that when he would see us he would just laugh and say "Mitt Romney". You meet some interesting people!
Miracle of the week:
We went to a lesson with a lady that the Spanish elders are teaching. We talked with her for a while and we helped resolve concerns that she had and extended a baptismal invitation and she accepted! She already is talking about wanting to go to the temple and do missionary work! She is such an incredible lady!
Love,
Elder Bohn
