Hey everyone! This has been a busy and exhausting week to say the least. I'm with my new companion Elder Newberry. He is coming here from Washington and he's here to stay! We've just been grinding getting adjusted to the new area and getting to know the people we'll be working with!
Here's a quick run through of the week:
Wednesday was my last p day on OSU. It was a pretty sad day because I loved this area. We got some shopping done, and then we went and chilled for most of the day while I packed.
Thursday was the day of transfers. There was a little hiccup in the plans because there was a plane issue with the 2 missionaries coming from Washington. They ended up missing their flight on Wednesday and had to fly out a day later on Thursday. We were in the train the trainer meeting and President said that everything was good to go, except for my trainee wasn't there yet. So we had to run over to the airport at 6pm to pick them up. After meetings and long drives we finally made it back to our apartment at like 10pm. We unpacked all of our stuff and immediately passed out.
Friday was a pretty good day for us overall. We just spent a lot of time contacting and trying to set up lessons to meet with people. We talked to a lot of cool people so it was pretty awesome!
Saturday was more or less the same as yesterday. We went on a walk around a park and tried to talk with some people. After that we had a lesson with Belinda and Derrick that went super awesome. We talked about the beginning of the Plan of Salvation with them and they had a lot of questions. After that we helped feed their cows and we pulled weeds in their garden. It was a good ole time!
Sunday we had in person church and it went pretty good. We tried our best to introduce ourselves to the members and a lot were very friendly. Some didn't seem as enthusiastic about us being there, but it's all good! After that we did a whole lot more contacting to set up more lessons. That's pretty much what a lot of the next while will be like: calling, texting, and more calling.
Miracle of the week:
When we were meeting with Belinda and Derrick we could see the gears turning in their heads as we read the scriptures to support the things we were teaching. It's awesome to see the spirit working on them one visit at a time!
Funny moment of the week:
We have an... interesting lady in the ward that calls us almost everyday. She just talks about the most random topics with us whenever we talk. The first conversation we had with her she was introducing herself and then just stopped and said, "do y'all like cottage cheese?". We just busted up laughing by the rather unexpected question. It's just nonstop good times here.
Love,
Elder Bohn
