Hey everyone! This has been an exciting week to say the very least. We are in another trio with one of the Elders that was in Ashtabula, Elder Durfey, because his companion went home. Not only will Elder Vaughn be going home for school, but Elder Durfey will also be leaving. I am going to be killing off 2 companions at the same time. They will both be flying out tomorrow (Tuesday). Kinda depressing, but what can you do?
Here's a quick run through of the week:
Monday we had a district activity with everyone and it was pretty exciting. But then things got real when Elder Vaughn got a phone call that said he can go home before Christmas if he wants. So that has been heavy on his mind and throughout the week.
Tuesday we went on a training visit with the Social Media Specialists and had a good time. We did a lot of contacting and set up a bunch of lessons.
Wednesday we did some service in the morning for a member which was super awesome. We talked with him for a while and he showed us his gun collection. More will be mentioned in the funny moment of the week. Afterwards, we went on a training visit with the Elders in Warren. We had a good time talking with members and setting up more lessons during the week. This was the day that Elder Vaughn got the confirmation that he needed to go home from the spirit. Sad times.
Thursday we had our zone conference which was an absolute blast! We went up to Kirtland and we listened to a lot of songs and read Luke 2. At the end we made gingerbread houses and went back to Y-Town and we took Elder Durfey with us because his companion was going home the next day.
Friday we did service at Saint Vincent de Paul which is always an absolute blast. After that we went over to the church and had a meeting with the zone and our stake president. We read some scriptures about Christ's birth and talked about how we can share this with others. After that we did a bunch of contacting and called it a day!
Saturday we had our weekly planning session which is... fun! After that we did a lot of work on Facebook and making content for the pages. At the end of the day we did song practice with the district because we will be caroling tomorrow!
Sunday we had an exciting morning with zoom church and we had a crazy miracle! After that I ended up going to a lesson with a recent convert named Howard. Howard is 80% blind and we just read the scriptures with him and discuss what we read. It's always a lot of fun! In going to this lesson I missed out on caroling which is probably the greatest miracle! Afterwards we had some lessons and called it a day.
Miracle of the week:
On Sunday a lady came to the church while we were there. Apparently she was taught in the past and she didn't want to be taught anymore. Now she's changed her mind and wants to get baptized. The sisters are going to teach her, but it's still awesome that she came to the church while we all were there!
Funny moment of the week:
So that member told us how he got into guns because a gun shop owner roasted him for not knowing guns. He then proceeded to tell this guy to f-himself and got super into modifying and building guns. He shared a lot of stories and it was super!
Love,
Elder Bohn
