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

"Free meetings" and cold calls

Hi!  

I do like boring weeks!  I wish I had one of those once in a while haha.  I love staying busy but it would be nice to not be so exhausted alllllll the time haha.  I guess that's gonna be like the rest of my life though.  We had zone training meetings this week so we were traveling all over the place.  The 3 of us had to take turns driving and sleeping and stuff haha.  It is fun spending so much time with president though. He has what he calls "free meetings" with us where we get to talk to him and he won't charge us for it.   haha I seriously have learned a lot though spending time with him.  
We saw the Elder that is in the hospital this week again too.  He is doing much better but he is still going to have to go home to get better.  There is like a ton of sickness going through the mission right now.  Sister Vellinga has been on the phone constantly with missionaries and stuff.  She has gone crazy trying to make sure every ones apartment is clean too.  I am just glad I have never really been too sick to work my whole mission. knock on wood....  
So like I told you AP's have their own phones and mine has like 600 contacts in it so I have been going through and just calling everyone in the phone.  I called a woman named Holly who had met with missionaries a couple years ago and we taught her this week.  It went really well!  She has a rough personality because she works in inner city Cleveland high school and has been stabbed before but she really opened up and she looks promising.  Its so hard to find people to teach in this are because we are always doing office work or traveling or at other appointments.   We had a mission fast yesterday to be able to find the elect which went really well so I am excited to see the results of that around the mission.  
I am hangin in there in this assignment.  It has been exhausting and hard but I know I have received help.  I have loved every minute of it though.  Time is gonna fly though.  The weeks are just more of blurs than they usually are.  
Well I hope you have a good week!  Love and miss you!

Elder Skalla

I did get the blue tooth and it worked great.  It took me forever to get it into pairing mode and once I got it I had a password for it so I spent like 30 mins putting every number combo I could think of in until I finally got it.  But thanks for sending it!  No rush but I need a couple more hair gels in  the next package you send me.  Thank  you!!!
