Hey everybody! I'm going to be honest, this was just an average regular missionary week. There wasn't anything too awesome or spectacular that happened, but I'll try to make this worth the read!
Here's a quick run through of this week:
Monday was pretty awesome. We went down to Easton mall with a bunch of the elders and had a good time there. Afterwards we had a District activity with one of the districts in the zone and it was lit! We played some basketball, then some whack card games.
Tuesday was absolutely spectacular! We had zone conference in the morning and the spirit was definitely strong there. We learned a lot about having a soft heart and being willing to change. Afterwards we did a lot of contacting to set up lessons. This in turn provided a lot of rejection and ignoring. Don't worry, we're not crying, they are.
Wednesday we had training visits with the other OSU elders and I was with Elder Jeppson for the day. He is a total hoot! We did a lot of walking around campus followed by some lessons and contacting. We also worked on a sweet video for the missionaries. I'll put a picture down below because words can't do it justice.
Thursday we went on training visits with the Greenfield elders and I was with Elder Jones (there's like 4 in the mission). We had a super awesome day full of lessons and put in some good work.
Friday we had a fairly busy day running around having super awesome lessons with a lot of the members here. We walked around campus a little bit and nearly froze to death, but we got subway so it all evened out.
Saturday was awesome! We started off the day with a 4 mile run at 7AM with President and a couple other missionaries. It was 4° outside and the pathway was still very icy. At least it kept us alert! After that we had an incredible lesson with a friend of the Horgesheimer's that they wanted us to reach out to. More on their lesson will be included in the miracle of the week. After that we did a bunch of contacting and set up a bunch of lessons.
Sunday was a fairly average mission Sunday. We had both ward meetings in person which was awesome. The members actually shared testimonies which was awesome, not just ramblings about random things. Afterwards we had a couple meetings and worked on a video we are making for the zone page!
Miracle of the week:
So the people we are teaching are Bellinda and Derrick. Long story short, they met some members a while ago and they became good friends. Those friends talked with Sister Horgesheimer about referring them to the missionaries and they wanted Elder Wayas and I to work with them. So we had the opportunity to meet them this week and have an incredible discussion. We pretty much played question and doctrinal whack-a-mole with them. They absorbed and seemed to accept everything we talked about and they wanted to read the Book of Mormon to find out more. We have another appointment with them in a couple weeks and President wants to join us for it so it's going to be awesome!
Funny moment of the week:
Long story short, we are making a video for the missionaries and we needed them to be excited. And nothing is more exciting than making an action movie trailer. Pretty much we made a video of me getting kidnapped and interrogated and my companion comes and rescues me. Just look at the picture and it will give you a good taste. Hopefully we finish the video soon.
Love,
Elder Bohn
