This week Ohio let us know it isn't quite spring yet, but it has been another wonderful week. It has been about 25 and some of the time snow pretty much he whole last week.We went on exchanges again this week and Elder Miller and I were on our bikes pretty much the whole day and it was not the warmest day ever. We were trying to find someone to teach, and we did teach a couple less actives but no investigators. Elder Stephens and Elder May had all their appointments cancel on them except 1. As Elder Stephens puts it "we went hard in the paint", but not a whole lot of luck. We were being looked out for though, because the next day we were able to contact 3 referrals and we started teaching them all. We also still have James and a couple others we are blessed to be able to teach so it is really great. There is also a less active man who his daughter is getting home from her mission in April and we have been able to teach him, take him teaching with us and he will be feeding us dinner twice in 3 days. He whipped up some pretty good food too. his wife is super picky and doesn't really eat anything he cooks. We also have been learning that people just cant sit around and wait for things to fall in their lap. One man we are teaching sort of has that mentality and we cant help him much if he doesn't want to do anything, but he is starting to change, slowly.

Things are going good here. We have a whole lot of blessing all the time. What I learned the most... that is a tough one. Honestly, it is that it all comes back to Jesus Christ. There is a lot of stuff, but it is really simple too. Faith in Jesus Christ so we can repent and then make covenants and keep going. You always have some help when you need it from Christ, I know that too. I can tell you for sure that through Jesus Christ we can be happy and peaceful. Many people have it temporarily, maybe, but we can have it all the time now and beyond. Christ is the Savior, Joseph Smith was called of Him, The Book of Mormon are Christ's words.

I just get pumped about everything these days so I am just excited for everything for sure.  We have zone conference tomorrow and then exchanges and transfers are next week so I will be talking to you Tuesday. I would assume I am staying here with Elder Stephans, but you never know for sure. Thanks for all you do.
Love Elder Koden Hunt
