Well, it has been pretty good since I emailed last. Last Wednesday night we stopped by a referral and we were able to teach him the Restoration and give him a Book of Mormon which was really great, and of course he is from Africa like 2 of the others we are working with. Thanksgiving was good. We played a little basketball in the morning with a couple other missionaries, we went to Wal-Mart and got an umbrella, then we went to the Insch's house until about 6. We played a game with their son and daughter in law called Codenames, it was pretty fun. We ate dinner at the Insch's and it was good. Most people in Ohio don't make as many things homemade, but we were very grateful to eat at there house. Nothing to crazy we ate, the regular things except we had green bean casserole which I don't think I ever had before coming here, but everyone has it. We also had pie from Costco, apple, pecan, and pumpkin, they were really good. The rest of the evening we visited a old man in a care center who is a member, a returning less active, and did some stop-bys at people's homes.
This week I stayed here in Toledo with Elder Cortez for exchanges. He is from Mexico and has been out about 2 months, but speaks English pretty good for how long he has been out. It was really great to have him with me because the after stopping by a less actives home, we started knocking doors and the first door we knocked on 2 little kids came to the door and then left. We waited for a minute and then went to the next door. At the next door the lady said she didn't speak English so Elder Cortez started talking in Spanish to her. She wasn't interested but said the, door we just knocked on, that house spoke Spanish. So we went back to the previous door we had knocked on and eventually a lady answered and Elder Cortez and her started speaking Spanish and we found out that she is a member of the church. She was baptized in Nicaragua and moved here about 11 years ago and hasn't been to church in 11 years. So we are going to take someone who speaks Spanish with us to see her this week hopefully.
Also, Larry Mitchell, the man with the gold dollar tooth came to church on yesterday so that was awesome. Elder Eardley and I spoke, along with President Hamilton who is in the mission presidency and it was all about member missionary work. President Hamilton doesn't sugar coat it either.
We are still teaching most of the people we were before, at least investigators even with the split of the ward. We have our Christmas Conference in Kirtland tomorrow so that will be fun, but a long drive. I hope you have a really fun and awesome week. I am doing great.
Love Elder Koden Hunt
