This week has flow by super fast since I emailed you last. We had Zone Conference in Kirtland and it was super awesome. We had to combine with one of the Kirtland zones so President's schedule could all be worked out. We went on exchanges with our district leader and they dont have a car, like a lot of missionaries in our zone so we rode our bikes, buses, and even a train. We found out that Elder Stephens and I are staying together here for another transfer. One of the more solid people we are teaching is a man named Johnathan and his sons Johnathan (8) and Joe-nathan (7). They are super funny, the dad wants to be serious and learn and the two boys are super excited and ask lots of random questions and so their dad is always trying to have them listen. Their step mom is around sometimes too, but we aren't really teaching her yet. They, at least the dad has been reading the Book of Mormon really well and is getting close to coming to church, we are planning on this week. They live up in Cleveland but they have a car so that is a big bonus.
It is starting to show some signs of spring, still in the 30's mostly, today might be about 40. It hasnt snowed to recently so we are getting their.
I think I can tell pretty soon after we talk to or even after we start teaching someone if they are ready or not. There are lots of different factors, especially commitment, but you usually can tell after not to long. Sometimes it seems people are like one of the parables in the new testament, about the seed that springs up fast and then quickly either by the sun, or because their roots cant got down because of rocks or hard ground they wither away. We talk to many who at first shows signs of progression, but for one reason or another fall away, they aren't ready then but maybe a little later down the road.
Glad to hear all the updates, I cant believe how time just goes right by. Thanks for all you do. I hope everyone has a great week.
Love Elder Koden Hunt
