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

No clue what they are missing….


I dont have a whole lot of time so I will just tell you what happened real fast. 
We actually had a really good week.  We found a lot and taught a lot of new people.  I am so frustrated though.  We found 2 amazing families and had great lessons with them, then when we go back for our return appointment we hear about a spouse or family member that doesnt want them to meet with us and all this dumb stuff.  I just wish people would give it a chance.  They have NO clue what they are missing out on but no one wants to take the time to see what the gospel can do in their lives.  
We were at the library this week and some guy came up to us outside and started talking about Mitt Romney and Howard Hughes only hiring Mormons and all that stuff and like 15 minutes later he took off running because he had to go to the bank or something.  We managed to give him a pamphlet though.  Like 20 mins later after we are finished at the library we were walking to the truck and he comes running down the street holding the pamphlet in the air yelling wait haha he said he had some time now so we got to sit down and teach him the restoration.  It was just funny seeing him run down the street waving a pamphlet haha.  
We took our investigator Marcia to the Kirtland fireside last night.  She is pretty great.  Just a really sweet older black lady.  She really liked the fireside though and should be getting baptized the day I go home haha.  
You dont need to send me any more packages haha.  It is just a waste of money, I dont need anything haha Just save it for a few weeks.  :)  I appreciate the thought though!   
Sorry for such a lame letter!  We are going to play ultimate with the zone at the stake center.   Have a great week!!
