"Thou art called to labor in my vineyard, and to build up my church, and to bring forth Zion, that it may rejoice upon the hills and flourish.
Behold, verily, verily, I say unto thee, thou art not called to go into the eastern countries, but thou art called to go to the Ohio.
Inasmuch as my people shall assemble themselves at the Ohio, I have kept in store a blessing such as is not known among the children of men, and it shall be poured forth upon their heads. And from thence men shall go forth into all nations."

Doctrine and Covenants 39:13-15

Week 8-First Baptism

Hey!!
Well first off we did have the baptism yesterday!!  It went really well and Ben was really excited.  Even though he is only 9, it was still cool to have my first baptism!
Thank you so much for the package and also what you told Sister Swingle to make for dinner :)  That made me really happy and it was sooo good!  I also loved the note you put in my baptism pants, that just made everything even better.  I am glad I found it before I got in the water though haha. 
Nothing else too exciting has happened this week.  On Wednesday we went to the hospital to give someone a blessing and we had to like wear surgical gear.   They made us put on gowns and masks and gloves before we could go in so it was interesting giving a blessing in all of that stuff haha.  Things are going well with our investigators though!  Alex is doing well and we are teaching a couple new people.  
I did find a Qdoba though!!!  We found it at ZDM in Canton so next time we have to go to Canton we are eating there.  haha I am excited!  
I am able to get your pictures. haha Sorry I never say anything about them but I enjoy them so keep sending them! 
Thats funny about President Maynes coming to the house though!  If President Sorensen came to our house I know I would be a little worried!  haha But I know they had everything cleaned up and stuff he wouldn't come without letting them know.  President Sorensen has never come to our place to study with us but when we were helping move the sisters a while back he sat down with us and helped us prepare a lesson which was awesome.  I am pretty sure he is like the most inspired man I have ever met next to the prophet haha. 
Its starting to cool down here a lot.  Everyone says Ohio is amazing in the fall because of all the trees.  Its like a jungle here to me so I am excited to see all the leaves start to change. 
I am sorry I dont have much to write this week,  I just cant think of anything that happened!  The days just jumble together but were doin good work every day.  I need to start writing things down throughout the week that I want to tell you then I will have more too write.  Everything just isn't all new to me anymore so things that I thought were so crazy and exciting are just normal now haha so I forget!  I promise I will get better!  I hope everything is going well and I can't wait to get your letter this week!   I love and miss you all! 
Love,
Elder Skalla
