The Lord has poured out his blessings upon us this week. So i am in " The Great Lorain Ward" as they call it out here and it is pretty great, I like it a lot. Lorain is about right in the middle of Ohio by the lake. It is a smaller place from where I have been the last 15 months or so, but there are still lots of people to talk to too.
My new address is: 1310 Shaffer Dr. Apt. A Lorain, OH 44053
There was an investigator in the area book that hadn't been contacted in a while and Elder Walker didn't know him, so we went by. When we got there a man was setting on the porch and said his son wasnt home, but said we could visit with him. He speaks Spanish as his first language it seemed but it was a super awesome lesson. When we were getting towards the end his son showed up and visited with us for a few minutes and it was super cool. They both wanted us to come back and visit with them more. We also got to start teaching a man and a lady who is hopefully his wife, who just moved from Cleveland not to long ago and there last name is Morman, so they took a Book of Mormon for sure. They are really looking for the right church and how to better follow Jesus Christ in their lives. It is pretty cool. We have one man who has a baptismal date for July 23rd so that is pretty fun too, his name is Josh and his wife is a less active member.
Elder Walker is from Pleasant Grove and is a great guy. He has one older brother and his parents are both school teachers. He has been out on his mission about a year but is older than me. I didn't get a picture with him before we came to email, so we will shoot for next week.
I am doing great, learning so much everyday. One thing I learned in my studies this week, and I cant quote it exactly from Preach My Gospel, ... when we let Christ's words sink deep into our hearts then we are able to be enlightened with new knowledge. It made me think about the importance of pondering and not just reading the things we study, or in other words " treasure the words up". I later learned how we cant just learn things from reading them, and we cant just learn from experience, we need both. When we have the knowledge and the faith, we have the " power of God unto the convincing of men".
The weather has been pretty good for us really, we have had some great enjoyment walking and biking around and talking to all sorts of people. I hope you all have a great week. I didnt get to tell dad Happy Fathers Day! I am 2 steps behind this year. I appreciate all everyone does for me and the support I receive. I hope you all have the best week ever and keep it up.
Love Elder Koden Hunt
