LeBron's House

This week has been a little slower week for us, it was still good but there was quite a few of our investigators who weren't able to meet this week. We do have a baptism, at least we are planning on it for Saturday, it is an older lady about 55 named Jannie. She is friends with a member named Sister Hunt, so i can remember her name anyway. Elder Mitchell is from Idaho and fell away from the church for a little while but then turned himself around and came on a mission. He is 27 and goes home in about 10 weeks. This transfer is actually 7 weeks because they are keeping missionaries in the mtc longer now, 3 weeks instead of 2 so everyone has to have a week longer transfer to keep on track. I have learned a lot about the scriptures for sure, but something that we have came across recently is that just by reading the scriptures makes a big difference in peoples lives. If people will read the Book of Mormon they probably come to church and will get baptized, if they don't they probably wont. The answers are in the scriptures. So i will send a picture of Lebrons house, we pulled up to the fence in his front yard and a security guard told us he was home, so he must have not been in utah yet, and if we hurried we could take a picture. I am sure they get lots of visitors. We get dinner appointments about 2-3 times a week on average so far. There is no brother phillips to feed you every night haha. I did see the copes family. We were able to talk to lots of people, not all were interested but it was good to be able to have conversations with so many people. We also went on exchanges this week, I went with Elder Klinglesmith to there area. There area is really rich so it is slower, but it was good. We also helped one of their less actives move this morning. It has been a little cooler here so we are hoping the weather warms up this week. We are going to be singing in the ward choir Sunday, and we have Zone conference this week as well. I am doing good and things are going pretty good. Things are flying by pretty fast. I appreciate all the support. I hope you have a wonderful week.

Getting to know the area

So things are still going good. I am still trying to get to know people here, I have only met the investigators with dates coming up soon 2 times, but they seem like nice ladies.  I do live just a little bit away from Akron city limits, but it is pretty close. There is definatley more stories that go on in a 4 elder apartment, I did live in one for a few weeks at first as well. So this week we biked all around Akron, and we were able to talk to lots of people. We met with Jae'len yesterday and we taught the plan of salvation and he was really excited to know he could find out his great grandmas name, and that we come here for 2 years. He is about 20 or so and looks good at this point. I have gotten to know Brother Callahan good so far. We got the car on tuesday and he came with us for half the day to visit people. He is a funny guy, he is 63 and has only been a convert for 9 years, but he know a lot and doesnt see very good thats why we have to drive him. We also have 2 other Elders from New portage branch in our district, Elder Elggren and Elder Liddel, they are both from northern utah. I also have a couple pictures for this time. I still get to shop at Aldi, it isnt my favorite store for sure, but the cheapest out there I think so thats where we go. I hope you all have a wonderfull week and that everything goes good for you.  Thanks for all the support and all everyone does.

First Week in Akron

So things in Akron are going pretty well. We actually dont have a car so we either bike or bus or walk almost everywhere. My companion is from Circleville his name is Taylor Whittaker and he has been out 1 more transfer than me. We get along fine, he played baseball and golfed all of his high school years, but he wrestled a little to. He is familiar with the same things I am so it is fun to talk about things. So it ended up taking about a few hours to figure out the rides from Kirtland to Akron, I rode with the zone leaders to the cleveland stake center, then drove with elder strickland to Medina, then drove with elder whittaker to Akron. There are 4 elders in our apartment, Elder Klinglesmith from roy and Elder Mitchell from Jerome Idaho. So it is fun to have 4 in an apartment. It was kind of like leaving home away from home, but i am sure the Akron ward will at least get close to being like Brother Phillips haha. Also, Jamie and Jadyn is going to send you a picture in the mail of us. the blatters were my buddies too( Mike and Ronica). Ya i knew about the sisters, I didnt really know them, but sister west is out of the hospital at the sites now, and sister morrison is getting out of intensive care tomorrow i think. But they are all improving and doing good. It is pretty crazy they even lived. Yes, we did go to the Kirtland temple as well, so that was pretty cool. So in the other Elders area, but in our ward, lives guess who, Lebron James! So I keep telling them they need to talk to him somehow. We are going to go drive by his house either this week or next, so i should get some pictures of it. Our apartments address is: 168 Kenridge Rd. Fairlawn, Ohio 44333. So that is our physical address as well. It should be the same for packages too. It sounds like it is still going good their. It has stayed pretty warm still here and today is in the 50s, it has been a little colder, but no snow so that is good for us. They have 7 people with baptismal dates right now, so things are going along pretty good here. But I am doing well, i will have to relearn how to cook thought, because we dont have the phillips here. I'm sure i will have some good stories next week. Have a great week.

He's moving!

This week has been a really good one. We found some new people to teach and Daniel came to church and Mark and Kelli are doing awesome. They should both get baptized next weekend, the 11th and 12th. So I am headed to Akron and my companion is Elder Whittaker, he came out with me but I never really talked to him before but it will be fun. I will for sure get the the new address next week. There really hasnt been anything to weird I have eaten. I ate thanksgiving dinner in October on some dirty dishes but that was about it. Mainly just good stuff, but who knows what they eat in Akron.I usually jut cook a quesdilla or ramen noodles or a sandwich for lunches. Elder Schmidtke cooked a Alfredo pasta thing but Elder Koppenhafer doesnt really cook crazy things.  I am glad to hear the wind still blows in Enterpise.  Things are still going good for me. Today we are just getting ready for next week and packing up for Akron. I hope your week is going good, and you have a great one ahead.
