Ohio Cleveland Mission

"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 10

I am glad you made it to Florida ok!!  Im jealous!  But the weather here has been beautiful all week!  Its been like low 70's and clear so we got to ride bikes without suits and the leaves are all changing so its really pretty here!  I hope the weather in Florida gets better though!! Too bad you didnt go to church, I know like 6 people from the mtc serving in that mission.  I cant wait to hear more about it and see pictures with nice weather.
 
This week was really good.  I got in my first door tracting! haha After the hundreds I have knocked and been rejected I like didnt even know what to do when the guy invited us in haha! It was funny but he is an older guy named Paul and we taught him a first lesson and have a return appointment with him so thats good!
 
On Wednesday when we taught Brian he texted us and said he really wanted to dive into the Book of Mormon today so we were all excited but he clearly found some anti.  He really wants to find the truth and wasnt bashing with us at all.  He has trouble with 3 seperate beings of the godhead and Christ and Heavenly Father having seperate bodies.  We have studied everything we have and cant find an answer he would be satisfied with.  And we have thrown the whole one  in purpose thing and everything I know about it but he wants like scriptures. It should be an interesting lesson on Wednesday. 
 
We did have an awesome week for church though!  We had 2 new investigators there and had multiple less active families that havent been to church in years back it was awesome to see.  Everyone was so excited they were back. 
 
We have met a lot of people through the table we have set up at Akron University too so we have been teaching quite a bit!  I wish I could just teach every hour of every day and not have anyone cancel on us haha but that would make a mission way too easy.  Its hard to find things to do when people cancel and its 8 at night and you cant tract because its dark and you just make people mad. 
 
Well I am sorry to not write much but we have to drive to the Akron building for zone p day and play football and I would rather play football than e mail haha no offense haha we just dont get to play sports much :) 
 
I love you and miss you!  Have fun on vacation!
 
Love
