Warren Transfer Two Week Two

hey everyone!

another nice warm week here. things have been going pretty well. were still workin on finding new people. seems like everyone we find or get members to invite lives in another area haha. so its cool but we still want to find somebody we can teach. all the recent converts here are doin well.

so i forgot to tell you what happened last week at the fourth of july bbq. there was a couople elders tryin to grill over charcoals but couldnt get them going at all so i went over and opened the bottom of the grill up so the charcoals could light and then they gave me the matches to start it and all took a step back. that shoulda been a red flag but i didnt think bout it quick enough and as soon as i struck the match the whole thing blew up. so i lost most of my eyelashes and some of my eyebrows and arm hair. i looked really funny cuz everything was all burnt and white. but hopefully they come back before i get home.

im excited to hear nana and papas papers are going in. love you all and give hankers the lovins for me

hey everyone!

this week was pretty good. yesterday was a really fun fourth of july. the whole zone went down to lisbon to the browns house and had a barbeque. it was so fun to go back to an old area. really weird at the same time though.

as far as the missionary work goes were still just trying to find people to teach. weve got some prospects but nothin too solid yet. the ward members here all just talk bout how soon e anderson and i are goin home its kinda funny. were tryin to keep em focused on the missionary work though lol. kinda backwards.

we were out tracting this last week and were walking on the grass and my foot sunk all the way up to my knee in mud lol. it was funny and gross at the same time. my shoe was full of mud. so we had to go to the church and try and scrub it all off. but thats probly the most exciting thing thats happened.

anyways love you all and give hankers the lovins too

Warren Transfer One Week Six

hey everyone!

sorry i didnt email last week. things here have been awesome. elder anderson and i are staying here and finishing our missions together which is awesome.

the weather here has been beautiful. doesnt feel like summer at all. those that have recently been baptized are all doing well. were still working on finding new people and have had some success. we found this one couple named the schaffers and have seen them twice. she talked to her pastor bout the church and got some anti from him but was still willing to listen to us and read from the book of mormon and pray. hopefully they stick to it and dont get too much opposition from those around them.

things are goin well. i got an email from ran. shes still in china and her family is going to church with her. she says that shes doin well and likes the church there a ton. it was really exciting to hear that. but i love you all and will talk to you soon.

Warren Week Four

hey everyone!

i cant believe that this is the last full week of this transfer. time has flown by. this weekend was pretty awesome. clinton got baptized and naomi and lexi were confirmed!!! it was really exciting and the spirit was so strong and they were all really happy. so it was a great week. we were supposed to be going to kirtland with clinton tonight but for some reason they told us we cant go. not sure why cuz bishop wanted us to go and talk to clinton bout serving a mission so well see.

im really hoping e anderson and i get to stay together another transfer. we find out next week so i wont be emailing til tuesday. the weather has warmed up quite a bit and the rain has stopped coming so often. i wanted to send some pictures but i forgot the card reader so if i remember it next week ill send some.

we met a lady yesterday named prophetess pam haha. she was funny. you get to meet all kinds of people out here and some of em are kinda crazy. keeps it interesting. but things are goin great.

love you and take care of hankers for me

Warren Week Three

hey everyone!

this week has been pretty awesome! naomi and lexi got baptized yesterday! it was great. they were really happy. next sunday clinton will be getting baptized too. so we will have a couple good weeks in a row. its always awesome to see it all come together.

we had zone conference this week and it was awesome. the next day i got a call from prez saying i was supposed to go home in september but he changed it to august so i could make it for school and stuff. that was weird. i kinda got excited to stay a little longer but it had already been changed and sent to salt lake so ill still be coming home in august. and to answer your question mom you can email pictures. thats fine. id love it too.

we also had a service project this week. we went to youngstown with the whole zone and boarded up an abandoned house and took care of some community flower beds. it was fun. except i got bit by something on my leg and had a huge welt and it itched like crazy. its doing good now though. just added some excitement.

i cant believe its june already. blows my mind. this transfer is going by so fast. so e anderson and i found this board game in our closet that is way fun. its an old clue game called the great museum caper. so thats probly what we will do today lol. anyways i love you all and give hankers the lovins too.

E Cleveland Transfer Three Week Three

hey everyone! happy easter!! this week was pretty good. there were a few days we didnt have to wear jackets! thats really exciting. there was also another baptism in teh singles branch here on saturday. his name is justin. we didnt teach him cuz he lives out of our area but he has been coming to the singles branch on sunday for a while now. my bike seat broke again this week too lol. i was riding down the road and all of a sudden i fell off the back of my bike! luckily i landed on my feet somehow and ended up running down the road while my bike did a ghost rider and crashed. it was pretty funny. everyone was laughin at me on the street but i was laughin to so its alright. its been raining like crazy here too. probly just like g. one day we were out on our bikes and it poured rain all day and every appointment we had cancelled haha. we were so wet and so cold that day but it was pretty fun. i wish it would snow instead of rain. cuz its so cold you can see your breathe and its still raining. the snow gets you much less wet but oh well. its a step towards warmer weather. so im giving a workshop in district meeting this week (ive given alot of em now i just never mention em) but every time i do i always use an analogy bout hank haha. its awesome. so im totally gonna use those easter pictures you sent me this week mom. thank you for the package i loved it. but give hankers the lovins for me. love you all
