Cleveland Week Three

hey everyone! hope all is goin well for you. things are goin good here. we had an awesome lesson with Marcy and her family this week. we taaught them about family prayer and theyre workin on saying them every day. she is our most promising investigator right now and will most likely be baptized soon. other than that were just trying to stay warm and find solid people to teach. every friday we go to the college here and have a booth up. its pretty fun. get to talk to alot of people. its really weird to see white people there too haha. one of the member families we have been working with finally invited some friends to church this sunday and we were so excited cuz they were really nice and interested to learn more so we set up an appointment with them this week but found out they dont live in our area. that was a bummer. still awesome though but we just have to keep looking for more families to teach. i want to teach a whole family so bad. that would be awesome. hopefully ill get the chance. also this sunday two less actives that weve been teaching came to church which was really exciting. the ward actually said hi to em and stuff too it was sweet. thank you all for your letters and make sure to write the other elder berry too! love you all. give hankers the lovins for me

Cleveland Week Two

hey everyone sorry its been so long since iv emailed. its been a crazy week. we have all just been passin around different sicknesses and theres been some pretty funny stuff thats happened but ill spare you the details cuz it all involves throwing up. so not alot has happened unfortunately. although one of the days we were feelin good we went to this place called mama santas down in little italy and had the best pizza iv ever had in my life. it was soooo good. we also had interviews with president today which was good. i was sick and didnt shake hands with anyone so he gave me an elbow bump haha. but things have been good. i dont have much else to say really its been a slow week. love you all and give hankers the lovins for me. tell dill dill ill write him soon too.

Cleveland

hey everyone! im up in cleveland now! its waay colder up here than down in the falls. i miss the people there so much. my new companion is elder judd and hes pretty cool. ive been sick the past few days which is a terrible way to start out a new area but im doin better now. this place is so different from anywhere ive been before. theres a little italy part of town which is awesome and smells so good all the time. then we have a really rich suburb of cleveland and the bad parts of cleveland as well. its strange too cuz e judd and i are the only white guys around usually haha. the church is really small here and struggling but it will turn around soon. its weird being in the kirtland stake now too. in the district there are seven sisters then elder judd and i so it will be interesting. its way cool being so close to kirtland though. we get to go there almost every week. other than that im just tryin to figure out my way around and stuff. oh and our apartmnt uses steam heaters to heat the place up. i thought that was weird. anyways i miss you all and thank you all for the letters. love you. take care of spanky for me.
