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

Best Week Ever

hey everyone this week was awesome!! rans baptism was amazing! she was so happy and just beaming afterwards. a member of the branch baptized her. there was an awesome musical number by a couple of the music students and really good talks too. she even invited a bunch of friends to her baptism and then on sunday introduced herself to a new guy that came and invited him to come back next week. she just loves the gospel and shares it with everyone its so awesome. every month here they have a fireside at the kirtland visitors center for the investigators to go to and the people in charge asked ran to share her testimony there. so we found an investigator to take so we could see ran share her testimony lol. im so glad i did though. that was the best day of my life. that ten minutes of her sharing her testimony made my entire mission worth it. not that it wasnt worth it before but that event alone could have made the whole thing worthwhile. she bore her testimony about prayer and the love of god and how she has found peace in her life and cant wait to share it with her family so they can be an eternal family and how she knows the book of mormon is true. it was amazing. im so glad ive had the chance to meet her and become friends and help her understand the gospel. i wish you all could have been there but its something ill never forget. hope this is enough detail for you mom. love you all . give hankers the lovins

E Cleveland Transfer Two Week Six

hey everyone! this week has been pretty good. conference was amazing as usual. i loved elder holland talking about the ensign to the nations. his talks from when he was president of byu are absollutely amazing too. i just started reading them and listening to em and im addicted. i recommend you looking at em. especially .. alright well i cant pick just one to tell you to listen to. also his conference talks called "the only true god and jesus christ whom he sent" and the second half the next year called "my words never cease" are amazing. but anyways thats enough bout him. it snowed this week agian. and rained. and had nice warm sunny days. the weather is unpredictable. as i watched conference and especially in priesthood session i thought about you guys alot. i miss watching conference with you and especially being at priesthood with dad. its good to know that we were all watchin the same thing at the same time though. speakin of which im tired of sittin around watching tv all day lol. its the exact opposite of what missionaries do so its weird to do it at conference. ran is still doing amazing. she invited one of her friends in china to go to church there this last week. she also watched all four sessions of conference. were looking forward to her baptism in a couple more weeks. thats bout all from here though. love you. give hankers the lovins!
