Dear friends and family, I met an apostle of Jesus Christ this week. I don't have the picture he took with the mission yet so if/when I get that I'll send it. (Provided they get it to us within the next two weeks.) On Saturday we arrived at the church building where it was to take place. This was the entire mission meeting in one location, which never happens unless an apostle visits. We were told that Elder Uchtdorf was in a meeting with the mission leadership so we quietly gathered in the gym to line up for a photo. We got lined up and arranged for the picture waiting for a while as more missionaries filed in and we awaited the Uchtdorfs. Finally I spotted Sister Uchtdorf walking in and going near to her seat. I don't know how many people recognized her--we don't usually see her, just her husband. A few moments later Elder Uchtdorf strode in and everybody went dead silent. He said something like "I've looked all over the building for ...

Hello everyone, This week we had an epic exchange on the campus of Youngstown State University with our district leader and his companion. That was fun. Kinda weird being on a campus. It's a whole different world being swarmed by students and trying to talk to them. Thankfully the elder I was with, Elder Johnson, is amazing and talking to everybody. The campus isn't very big either, but there were plenty of people to talk to. That was fun. Now you may recall that Elder Johnson is the super tall dude from the pictures I've sent. And he plays basketball. Well, he actually found a finding opportunity through basketball--a guy on campus invited him to play with them. I didn't have basketball clothes and I certainly am not very good at basketball so I decided to just sit out and finish a poem I had been writing. But I watched the game too--he's REALLY good. Like, he already has a scholarship to attend college in Oregon and play for the Ducks. So ke...

Is This Thing On (9/23/2019)

Dear friends and family, Firstly, someone I taught was baptized! Not by me though. It was Alberta, who I did not find but started teaching pretty early on here in Warren. We weren't really getting anywhere with her however and though I can't remember all the reasoning behind it as this point, we made the decision to hand her off to the sisters in the ward. From there Alberta seemed to take off, so I guess it was a good match-up. I also got asked to give a talk this week in church. I got asked on Friday. I spent most of my spare time writing it. I got the inspiration to actually tell a personal story, which I almost never am prone to do because I don't consider any of my life experiences very inspiring. This one wasn't particularly either--the talk was about "love one another" and I felt inspired to tell the story of when I trained a new missionary and failed to demonstrate love. It seemed to work out okay. The microphone has been broke...
