Adri Goes to Cleveland

What up fam? This week has been a good one! Here are some highlights! We were visiting some former investigators and we were able to start teaching a family! They have a little boy named Caleb. He's 11 and he's pretty solid. It's so great! He and his dad came to church this week and it was ward conference! It was such a blessing.  We've been working a lot on talking to people about family history and it's been great! We've been able to have some real success with some less active members we work with through doing family history with them. #SpiritofElijah   We stopped by Connie's this week with Sister Haslam (aka the bombest ward member ever). We hadn't been able to get in contact with her so we just stopped by and it turns out she has a cracked rib! Poor Connie! We love her so much! We were able to read some of the Book of Mormon with her and it was so great. We also went over another time this week and read with her.  Last pr...

What up fam? This week was so great!  On Saturday we had a great opportunity to go to Cleveland for a mission conferece where we were all able to hear from Elder Christofferson from the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Elder Neilson from the Seventy and it was so great! We talked about missionary work and hope and faith. Elder Christofferson talked a little and then he opened up time for us to ask him questions and I loved it! I didn't ask any but those who did asked great questions that I was really glad they asked. It was so wonderful and the Spirit was so strong! We also were able to take a picture with them and shake their hands. In case you wanted to know Elder Christofferson has the softest hands ever. Literally his hands were so soft. I wish I had some quotes or something that I liked from it but I do not.. I forgot my notes.. Sorry! But know that it was really good and the Spirit was so strong!  Also we were in Richfield this week and were able to go to...

Hello familia! This week was a blur! It's been good though!  We taught Connie the restoration on Saturday. She is so sweet. She even made us cookies! To refresh your memories (because it's been a LONG time since we've seen Connie)... Connie was a referral for a large print Book of Mormon. Her granddaughter is a convert in the YSA branch here and is on a mission in the Idaho   Boise Mission. We're now teaching Connie the lessons because she wants to know what her granddaughter believes. We met with her like Sister Grimnes' first week in the field (aka like 6 or 7 weeks ago) and haven't been able to meet with her since, but we've talked on the phone a lot so that's good! But we were able to teach her the Restoration and that's my favorite lesson to teach. It's the best. So many blessings have come from the resoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm so grateful that I know that Joseph Smith was called to be a prophet and was calle...

What up fam? Saturday  marked a momentous occasion! I REACHED MY 9 MONTH MARK! It's nuttso.. and it kinda makes me sad because time is going by so quickly! These past 9 months have been wonderful and I'm so grateful I have 9 more!  It's been a good week! We had some good times!  We tracted Grant street! No one was interested yet but it was fun!  We also had interviews yesterday! YAY! It is always so fun to see President and Sister Brown. They're the best! It's been so nice here it's weird to think that it hasn't been nice at home too. I wanna go snow shoeing with Collin next winter! And mountain biking with you all that next summer!   I'm great! Akron is good. The work is slow. We thought it picked up but then our new investigator dropped us. We do have a potential investigator that we will be seeing in a few weeks! That will be good! He took lessons in Ashtabula (by Youngstown) and moved out here but has been gone but when he gets back ...
