"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

Slow week….


That is sad about the funeral and stuff.  Thats is good they are taking it so well though.  I dont know what we would do without the gospel and plan of salvation...  It'd be tough.  
This week was horrible teaching wise… We couldn't get any appointments or anything all week.  It was nice weather though so we got to bike and stuff so that was fun.  I really don't have much to tell you since it was so slow.  I did get a little good news.  I was talking to Elder Newey and Elder Read on the phone and they are ZL's in Tallmadge together and Elder Newey just spent the last 6 months in Alliance so I was seeing how everything was in my old areas.  Do you remember like 9 months ago when I was all excited in the library about some guy named Jay coming up and talking to us about food storage and we gave hima  Book of Mormon and stuff?  Well Elder Buxton and I tried to teach him but we could never get a hold of him and he was always busy so we never saw him again.  Like a month ago Elder Newey and Elder Read ran into him again somewhere else.  He just came up to them and started talking to them and said how he met a couple missionaries a few months back. They made an appointment with him and taught him at the church and Elder Newey said he thinks he may have read the whole Book of Mormon we gave him.  When we first found him he had no idea what was in it and Elder Newey said he was talking about everything up until the 3 Nephites in 3 Nephi.   I guess they had a really good lesson and he is still hard to meet with but really interested.  That like made me so happy though!  God is good! 
Thats about the only exciting thing that happened this week though.  We are going to a members for Thanksgiving and then probably playing basketball.  I dont know what the difference is about football and basketball or what the difference is about not playing football on thanksgiving but we can on any other p day but whatever. 
I will keep thinking about the christmas thing.  I dont know if I want to do the DVD thing but I will let you know.  I have a couple of those DVDs with it on there from last year.  It is only like 6 mins long though I don't know if I need to give it to people, we will just show it like we did last year. 
Well I hope you have a good week and a nice quiet Thanksgiving!  

Love and miss you!
