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

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi!

Well it was another pretty slow week...  seems to be going that way across the mission now for some reason.  Winter is tough.    I got your package!!  Thank you!  I wish I had something exciting to tell you but its been pretty much the norm.  Thanksgiving went really well!  We had dinner at the Carlson's.  They feed us every week, they are pretty cool. I couldn't really taste anything though...  The night before we had dinner with a member in his way cool apartment.  It's right on the shore and it overlooks the bay and all of Cleveland.  He lives on like the 20th floor too so its pretty cool.   But anyway we had tortilla soup and I burnt my tongue from it way bad.  I woke up Thanksgiving and had like little blisters on it and couldn't taste anything haha it still hurts really bad.   Thursday morning we went over to the Jacklin's and had breakfast with them and the other senior couple and the 2 new office sisters that came this week.  It was so fun.  The Hokansons are going home this week though so I am sad about that.  The office staff is like our grandparents out here haha especially when we are neighbors with them.  After dinner we went and played basketball for a few hours.  It was fun and it was nice to have like a full day off to relax.  Much better than last Thanksgiving haha I read my journal from last Thanksgiving and I wasn't very happy haha
I am so excited to see the baby!  Especially in an NU hat! haha Have they decided on a name or anything yet?  I cant wait to see her at Christmas.  What are your plans for Christmas?  Are you just going to Boise?

Well hopefully we have a better week next week.  I am excited for tomorrow.  We are having our Christmas conference in Kirtland.  We are doing it with Youngstown so I get to see my whole zone.  Although it is bitter sweet because I have to say bye to Elder Johnson and Elder Dowley...  They are going home on the 17th...  haha honestly that will probably be the hardest goodbye yet.   I love those 2.  Both of them changed my life.  Hopefully I will get to see them soon though.  I may have Elder Johnson convinced to go to USU with me in the fall but we will see. He doesn't think he is good enough at football to walk on at USU now that they are good haha
Well I home you have an awesome week and I cant wait to hear about the baby!!

Love and miss you!
