This week has been a really crazy week for us. After last email Elder Walker ended up getting pretty sick so we would go out in the morning (Thursday and Friday), then after lunch he wouldnt feel to good so I listened to some General Conference talks mainly. On Saturday we went on exchanges with the other Elders in the ward and it was great. We have had some amazing weather lately and we got our biking in for the day for sure. We had our Stake Coordination meeting on Sunday with president Brown, President Snyder (stake president) and the sisters and other Elders ( which would be Elder Stephens and his companion) so that was fun. We also ate dinner with a family that used to be in the Cleveland Ward a couple of years ago, so that was fun too. We had interviews on Monday, and then we went on exchanges for the 4th of July with the Elyria Elders.
I have been able to learn so very much this week and it has been wonderful! I have been able to begin to see people in a different light, I have been able to see more of people's true identity which has been great. I have also" learned again, for the first time" as Elder Gong puts its, about how powerful prayer can be and the effect it can have on all things. Thought I learned much about prayer before, it actually goes right along with the talk I am giving in church on Sunday. I am giving the talk on prayer and they referenced me to a article from the October 1981 Ensign by President Spencer W. Kimball which is super good.
We dont have anyone who is moving super fast right now, we were able to meet a younger man with some great potential. He just got out of jail and is really looking for the truth right now. We went to the wrong house for our appointment with him yesterday, so we tried to call him and he didnt answer. He tried calling us back while we were driving but forgot to get back to him once we parked the car. So later while we were riding our bikes we didnt recognize him, but he flagged us down and we were able to talk to him, it was pretty great. We also have some others in the wood works.
There are only Elder Walker and I in our apartment, the other Elders are on bikes and dont live super close, but we pick them up a lot because they are a long way from things, especially the church.
Glad to hear you had a great 4th of July. Elder Brown who I was with yesterday loves the 4th of July. He has lots of family in the army or some used to be. His mom also works at the Joseph Smith building on temple square so she has some cool stories. I hope you find all the cows and that you get some rain too. We keep chugging along here and it will be a great week to come , I know that. I hope all goes well with all the activities and that your summer is super great, which it will be with all the fun family things going on.
Thanks for all you do and I hope you have an amazing week!
Love Elder Koden Hunt
