Good another not so exciting week!! haha (I told him nothing exciting at home lol) My week has been way good! First to answer your questions I have already been to steak and shake like 3 times. haha Don't send a giftcard because we dont have one in our area. We eat out every once in a while but mostly at home. Its cheaper and healthier. We usually only eat out when we go up to Youngstown for the day but even then Rocky takes us out. Thats good you finished your yw project! Hopefully it all turned out ok! Drive safe to Utah! I am so jealous but I sure I will be well taken care of here. Not sure where we are going yet but we will find somewhere. My p day is the same as the elders there. We get untill 1 today to e mail and shop and then Thursday is an all day p day except we have to weekly plan that day too. Im so sad this ward doesnt have a turkey bowl. Tallmadge does and appearently it's a big deal and a good missionary oppurtunity I wish I could go back there for that! haha
So my week was awesome. On Wednesday we had zone conference and after went on exchanges with the zone leaders. Zone conference was the best! I went with goals, questions and things I wanted to work on and really gained a testimony of personal revelation. If we ask Hevanly Father for answers and dilligently seek to find them he WILL answer every one of our prayers and inspire our minds on what we should do. It was awesome how it all worked out and I recieved answers to my questions. I had to give a short workshop at zone conference as well and its awesome when you are talking and the spirit just takes over and you dont even go off your notes and just know what you are supposed to say and ask. I love when that happens. I went on Exchanges with Elder Helton who was in my first district in Tallmadge. It was awesome getting to serve with him again and getting advice and help with things.
Saturday we went to Kirtland with a less active named Tommy, our investigator Bruce, his daughter and his less active girlfriend. It was awesome! I love Kirtland and Bruce really enjoyed it too. They are doing this nativity thing this year and they have like 1000 of them all over, its pretty cool. It was cool because in the school of the prophets when they were talking about the word of wisdom Tommy told us that it was in that room he decided to quit smoking and hasnt had a cigarette since going in there. It was pretty cool and I hope Bruce has the same experience as Tommy since Bruce is trying to quit smoking.
So remember Tim? (the guy from the robbery story) He showed up at church yesterday! I was like seriously shocked. We havent talked to him since Elder Vang and I went there that one time but he found a ride on his own and came up to me and shook my hand in church and said thank you and that he is starting to get his life in order and solved his arrest warrant, figured out how to pay the rent and found a job. It was truly a miracle we showed up that day, but we are gonna start teaching him and Tina again so hopefully he will figure it out.
Speaking of things I want for Christmas I kinda already bought myself one haha. They sell replicas of the original printing of the BOM in Kirtland and I wanted one and didnt have cash so I put it on the credit card haha.
Well I think thats all I had to tell you. haha I hope you have fun in Utah and give all the family a hug for me! I miss you and love you all! Have a great Thanksgiving!!
Love
Elder SKalla
This is a short note that was attached to his photos:
Our shower didnt drain and I got sick of showering in 6 inches of water every day so I stuck a hanger down there and pulled out clumps of hair haha we found like 4 more balls of hair like the one in the pictures haha nasty huh? (I am glad he is so resourceful!)
