Our Broadcast today will include many different events of the week

learning from the best

now we continue 

Life . In . Middle . America

The Thursday started out with some weekly planning 

here we see Elder Worthington and Elder Bone carefully planning for the area 

lets zoom in on the scene...

"So Elder Worthington how can we help Tessa Moore get to Church this week with her Daughter?"

"well Elder Bone this week is conference..." 

"Oh right...."

"Elder Worthington"

"yes Elder Bone?"

"How are we going to watch Conference?"

"That is an Excellent question Elder Bone. of which I do not have an answer.."

 *DING DONG*

"That must be the Zone leaders" 

We now will follow our Four Missionaries to there meeting place a wonderful Restraunt..

   

Thai Jasmine

there our missionaries met with the sisters and had a great lunch before going to there group service opportunity at..

The Daily Bread

"Why Hello Randy"

"Hello Elders it seems you brought company this week?"

"these are some of the other missionaries from our Congregation"

"well you arrived just in time we are making some Sleeping Bags for the Homeless and we are just about to start another one"

The Six Missionaries busied themselves with sewing and tacking the bags together.

Our Six missionaries then split up and parted ways so they could be about the Work in there respective areas

Our two got on bicycles and went to see a referral they had received earlier...

This concludes this weeks broadcast come again next week to 

Lost . In . Middle . America

Welcome to Lima Ohio

SO, Starting from the top

I got transferred Wednesday, I drove the first leg from New Castle to Cleveland then met up with my new ZL Elder Fransen who drove me and a few other elders to our new homes in Toledo South Zone 

Elder Worthington and I met up and got right on out working. and once again I'm on a bike again among the people 

all 5 of them XD 

Lima isn't a very big place but it is certainly pretty interesting I'll take some more photos this week of Lima as I forgot to take my camera most of the week 

we went tracting Immediately and totally found 2 solid investigators within an hour! both we got to teach the Restoration and set up for a return visit on Friday when one of our members comes teaching with us!  

we also had a district dinner at a really cool members 

and we met Jovonny for a new member lesson he just got baptized in February

unfortunaly when we were there the EQ was playing ball and one of the members fell down from a jump funny and disloacted his knee 

it was really bad they had to call the ambulance but he's doing fine now at least! 

  

Thursday I got to remember what it's like not knowing ANYONE in the area XD it's been a while since I was in the JC's shoes but I'll pick it up soon, I always do :)

We did a lot of weekly planing before.. (goes to consult his planner, realized last week is in last planner which I didn't bring... so much for details)

Friday...what did we do friday..... progress record.... annnd dangit

OH thats right we had dinner with the Jones and then went out teaching with.. brother Stanley? I think.. SORRY MOM!

Saturday we went out with Brother Kelly who's the Elders quorum president, Unfortunately Scott, one the Investigators we met on Wednesday was a no show and Jamie had to call and reschedule so we will hopefully get to see them again this week 

Sunday was church and all 

so that was cool 

We had dinner at Brother Babers again this time just with the Zls (who are in our district) as the sisters (who are also in the ward) couldn't make it 

oh and I got to play with Legos with some of Brother Babers nieces and nephews that were there. it took me back to playing with the cousins at Grandma's House 

good times good times

after that we had call ins where I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THEM!!! mwhaHAHAHAHA 

I did help walk Elder Worthington though them as he is my New District leader :)

btw quick bio on Elder Worthington 

He is from Vermont and has been on his mission a little over 4 months 

lima bike has been his only area so far and he's 20

back to the week 

Monday was an interesting District meeting, turns out Elder Fransen and Elder Parris go WAY back to like High school and whatnot so and they have very similar personality so it was like a lisbon district meeting throw-back

after district meeting we had an exchange and I got to talk to Elder Fransen, He's a transfer behind me so he goes home with Elder Nelson and Elder Brinkerhoff

other than Meeting with Jovanny again (and him taking us to a sweet hole in the wall legit mexican place) not much happened on our exchange.

Tuesday we did some service at a nice soup kitchen and then a lot of file updating and alot of walking like a LOT of walking 

about 5 miles  

it was a good day though!

Love you All! 

photos will be following this Shortly

21.....

Shesh

21 years and 21 months all in one week XD

I just got word that I am being transferred to the other side of outer darkness XD 

(mission lingo for the Toledo Zone as they are literally 4 hours away from everything else) 

I am excited to be serving with a relatively new missionary (I'll be greenie breaking him) and once again I'll be back on a bike in the Lima Ward

not much else to say to be honest XD 

we had our final exchange with New castle sunday-monday and I officially got released from my calling as a District leader in the New Castle District

I have been glad for my time in leadership, I learned a lot from those I served around these last few months and I learned a lot about myself these last few weeks 

I love you all and thanks so much for the Well-Wishes and Happy Birthdays! 

Have an awesome Week!
