So this week has really been a pretty fun week. Elder Whittaker left and Elder Taylor came in and things started doing good this week. Elder Taylor is from Bountiful, he is a video game player and his family is in an interesting situation where he is the only child, but he has half brothers and sisters. He was just companions with Elder Murphey, who was an assistant a month or so ago so he learned a lot that I am able to learn from too. He was in our Zone before so I knew who he was, but hadnt really talked to him a lot. We have at least one thing in common and that is trying to baptize people haha. Elder taylor is also getting used to biking everywhere, he has never really rode a bike before wednesday. Luis, Caleb and Josh came to church this week, along with a new family named Juana, Alberto, and their 9 year old son Brandon. I guess I need to learn how to speak Spanish. The Lee's were good, the members here are really nice for sure. President Brown just always knows what to do and it seems like it is always the right move too. We also had to drive to Cleveland because our phone broke, so we got a new one at the mission office. We can do service Tuesday through Friday, but we usually just end up doing it then except this week we went to Cleveland on Friday. The homeless shelter was a good prep for Akron for sure, but the food bank is a pretty neat and clean place. It sounds like lots of busy and fun around there, that is about what we have going on as well. The weather hasnt been too bad around here, staying pretty sunny and warm. But I am doing good. I hope you have a wonderful week and we are going to work on finding people to baptize.

So I am staying here in Akron and Elder Whittaker is leaving to Wauseon, and my new companion is Elder Taylor, he is coming from the ward next door to Akron ward. And of course Elder Mitchel is going home and Elder wright is staying here as well. This week has been a pretty warm week here. The humidity is different for sure, and has been about 85 to 90 degrees for most of the week. We also didnt have a/c most of last week so it got a little warm sometimes even in the apartment, but it is fixed now. Nothing really to crazy happened this week. We had zone training meeting on Thursday, did service on Friday, and tried teaching people the rest of the time. Caleb, the son of Luis really loves church. Luis isnt sure if he is ready to get baptized yet but they are looking good still. People in akron are outside a lot when it gets warm, mainly on their porches and always grilling. I'm not sure how they keep the chicken and ribs in supply around here. I am glad to hear you had a good trip. It looked like Mancos is kind of a cool spot. President Brown just wants us to make sure we try to keep in contact with investigators everyday, plan better, and work with the members because as Elder Oaks told him thats where the break through will happen. It is going good for me though, always just trying to get better at being a missionary. We are making it back down to the Lee's today, and we always get to see Brother Jeffries because he always comes out teaching with us. Brother Jeffries is great because he is home almost all day every day. Have a great week.Love Elder Koden Hunt
This week went well and we were blessed a lot for sure. There is a push since interviews to keep in contact with our investigators everyday so we have been trying to do that and it has worked out pretty good for us. Josh is able to read about 1 verse a day and he came to church again. Luis and Caleb have also been able to read and they came to church as well. At our lesson this week with them we had Luis, Caleb, Elvira(Luis wife), and Elvira's sister Melrose at our lesson, and Melrose even came to church too. She is going to the phillipines for a month but liked it and she is looking for a church so that is exciting. We always talk to lots of people who we may or may not see again, but hopefully we plant the seed at least. President is a really good guy, he likes you to get to work and not mess around with unimportant stuff. He sticks to the rules mainly, but he has a great sense of when to do something that isnt the normal thing or when the exception applies.Have a good week.Love Elder Koden Hunt
So this week was a little bit of all spring and winter. The wind blew some, it tried to snow yesterday but today is sunny so we never know what we might get. Our week was full of bike problems. I blew 2 tires, my tire had a piece of glass in it we couldnt see so it kept poking the tube. Elder Whittaker blew a tire and had chain problems so I guess I am going to get my time in on how to fix a bike. We had interviews with President this week so that was good, he always has good tips, and we had Stake Conference yesterday. Elder Perkins, who was at the Stake conference in Kirtland, was there and spoke again. He really talked about the importance of reading the Book of Mormon every day. We are still working with Luis, Caleb, Elivria, and Josh and lots of others who could get serious anytime. You will have to wish Grandpa Scott happy birthday for me. I have 1 or 2 pictures of nothing to special, but I will send them so you can see a little of Ohio. Elder Mitchell is doing pretty well considering, I know he is ready to be home but he isnt showing it to much. Elder Whittaker likes to give him a hard time about it. We also went to the food bank and boxed up food this week. I thank everyone for all they do, and for the support. I dont have to long of a letter this week myself. I hope the cows do good and hopefully my calf starts doing better. That is pretty awesome to hear about the baseball team too. We are still just trying to find people to teach and trying to better help those we have found to read and pray. Have a great week
