Howdy howdy!
Wow what a week! Well it's pretty crazy how fast time flies when you're having fun! Missions are awesome and I think anyone who is able to, should go! My testimony of serving a mission has grown exponentially. I love the good Lord! Anyways, we had a pretty great week. Starting off with last Monday we had a sweet lesson with a guy named Gerald then we headed out to Shane's for family home evening! That was pretty awesome! The lesson we had was super sweet. He was one of the most genuine guys I have ever taught! Not only that but he's very normal! Has a family and a career, and he even has a car! Most the people that are willing to talk to us, if we're lucky, they have one of those things. Family home evening was cool, we got to play can jam with Nick and his kiddos.
On Tuesday we spent most of the day finding. We met one lady named Christina, she was pretty awesome, but other that not all that much went on! On Wednesday we had a pretty cool miracle! We were told we needed to get our car serviced so we headed to the nearest firestone! We had a member come pick us up and we had a solid member visit! Afterwards we went back to Firestone and we talked with everyone else that was waiting for their cars! We ended up finding a new guy to teach out of it! It was a big miracle! That night we saw a crazy storm as we ate at the cheese cake factory! Man that was my first time and it was soo good! Our waitress was also pretty legit! Haha It was a good day!
Wednesday morning we had district council! It was pretty awesome! The rest of the day we had a couple of appointments fall through so we spent the whole day finding! We knocked around our apartment and found a lady who said she wanted to meet but ended up missing her return appointment! We don't have a car for this week so after a hot long day of walking we went and got blizzards! On our way home we even got to change someone's tire! It was awesome!
Thursday was the fourth!! Happy for everybody! God Bless The USA! We have a training visit/ exchange with Elder Millward and Elder McNeal! It was a such a good day! Right off the bat, in the first hour of finding, we found three people! Two of then were Puerto Rican and the other guy was a fisherman! God is too good to us! It was really good to have a full days of work!
Friday was weekly planning and mowing Shane's lawn! We celebrated the fourth that night, out at Shane's with a bunch of fire works which were fun to watch! Even though fireworks are illegal here in Ohio, everyone does them!!
Saturday morning we went and played street ball in the heat and humidity! I had never been so sweaty on my mission! Let alone dehydrated! And in case you were wondering, shade doesn't help that much with humidity... Saturday night we experience some great miracles! That night we went to these new apartments and found four new people to teach! It was a great blessing! Miracles are real, and they do happen!
Sunday was so refreshing! We had a wonderful sacrament meeting! I realized it was my last fast and testimony meeting so of course I had to bare my testimony! We also taught the 16-18 year old class! It was a blast! After church we went out to Shane's and had dinner with his sister Cynthia! He had me grill the steaks and they turned out super dreamy! We had a super good lesson with Cynthia afterwards and she's committed to read the Book of Mormon! That good 'ol life changing book!
This morning we got a call from President Stratford telling us he was gonna pull a quick one on us. He proceeded to tell us that Elder Kamerath was getting moved! It was kind of a bitter sweet moment! I sure love that guy and I'm grateful I had a chance to serve with him. He left this evening. For his last pday we played ball with a couple of members, I swear with this heat and humidity, sweat is a whole new thing! Haha!
Well I love you all! Hope you have a wonderful week! I'll see you in a quick two!
Love Elder Smoot!
