Is This Thing On (9/23/2019)

- 7:46 PM

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...

15 Pages (11/11/2019)

Dear friends and family, We sent out a mass text to all the people in our area book who were marked as "not interested". Someone responded saying they'd be happy to meet again, but the last elders never answered some of his questions. We said we'd be happy to try to answer them if we could. So we get emailed to us a 15-page document containing the lamest anti questions you've ever read. We're talking questions about Jesus being born in Bethlehem and not Jerusalem like the Book of Mormon says (he even had a visual aid for that one), Jesus and Satan being brothers, the Church of Jesus Christ prophesied to be undestroyable, why the passover isn't mentioned in the Book of Mormon (" Hmmm... Don't know, don't care. How's that? " - Emperor Cuzco), and even how Moroni became an angel (" Like anyone could even know that. " - Kip Dynamite). 15 pages of this cr@p! Haha. The actual visit with him ended up being no...

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...
