Hey everyone! This was a chaotic week that had as much crazy stuff happen that could possibly happen. The condensed version is that we had some sweet lessons and awesome training visits. And then we had to deal with evil spirits in some other elders' apartments over the period of 3 days. Then we got to hang out with some donkeys. It was lit!
Here is a quick run through of this week:
Monday was a rinse and repeat of last week. Basketball with the boys!
Tuesday we had interviews with President that went pretty well. We were with the Greenfield elders for the day so it was a good time. We talked to a couple pretty cool people, and we got those elders 2 new people to teach with a couple phone calls.
Wednesday we had a pretty average day. We met with a couple cool people, and then we met with some rather crazy individuals. We talked to some grandma and her daughter about the restoration and it went pretty good. They both just went on and on about their spiritual experiences at religious revivals and just being overcome with the spirit. They were wild!
Thursday we were with the Madison Lake elders for the day. We had one of the most interesting days of my mission on this day. They just have so many interesting people that they meet with down there, it's obnoxious. We did some service for some people and then cleaned out a turtle's tank at another dude's house. Overall the day went by pretty quickly. Also we got vaccinated.
Friday we mainly just did service for a family in the ward that is moving out. We pretty much just cleaned out their house with them and put up some drywall. So yeah, that was pretty boring. Things got wack when the Greenfield elders called us and said that their apartment is haunted. They said that they tried to dedicate the apartment, but the evil spirit just wouldn't go away. So they ended up driving to our apartment to stay the night.
Saturday morning the elders left and we went about our day as usual. We had a very long meeting with Belinda and Derek. We did service for quite some time and then had a long discussion about priesthood authority. We gave them a lot to think about and left them with a homework assignment, so it was awesome. Things then again took a turn for the worse when the Greenfield elders called again and said that they tried casting out the spirits and it again didn't work. They were still horribly spooked and stayed the night with us AGAIN. It was quickly not becoming a good time for anyone.
Sunday the elders again went back to their area and we went to church. After talking to president he told us to go down to Greenfield and stay the night and see what's up. So after church we boogied on down and spent the day with them. When we went to bed we dedicated the apartment and everything was fine. No more weird spirits or weird feelings, so we all just went to bed and called it good.

Miracle of the week:
I think the miracle for us was finally getting that annoying spirit to leave so that we can have things go back to normal for everyone.
Funny moment of the week:
To sum it up, I had a companion who paints journals and copies of the Book of Mormon for people. So naturally, I had him paint President Horgesheimer's face on Captain Moroni's body on my journal. At interviews I got President to sign it so it was probably the greatest moment of my life!
Love,
Elder Bohn
