The Final Interview and 3 Weeks Left

That week flew by! And was filled with so many awesome opportunities to share the Gospel. As I near the final days of my mission here in Ohio, I'm so grateful for every last chance I have been given to share a little message on how I know that God loves us and sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for us.

Some highlights of the week are:

• I had my final zone conference on Thursday. We went up to the John Johnson farm in Hiram. It was great weather all day, probably a little TOO great as it hit 92 degrees with all that fun humidity ;). I was able to give my departing testimony at it. I've loved all my zone conferences and am grateful I got to have my final one be at John Johnson farm where I began my mission 2 yrs ago.
  
• Me and Elder Sanchez taught 38 lessons last week and found 4 new people. We have been doing as much as we can to continue to build up this area and the Akron Ward. I've been helping Elder Sanchez to get more and more able and comfortable to lead out, and he has done a super fantastic job, and know he will do so great when I leave.
• We had Ward basketball night with our ward and the New Portage ward on Thursday night and that was super fun. I've enjoyed a lot being able to interact with more members the last couple weeks, and am so happy people are starting to come out and about again.
• 
  Me and Elder Bischoff who serves in New Portage, had a training visit on Saturday and went to do service at one of their members house. We took wooden railroad ties and put them all around the yard as curbing for their driveway and flower beds. It took roughly 3 hrs as we had to dig dirt out, cut the wood, and then I went back through and nailed the wood to the ground after we had it in. Super fun time though! That night we went and played basketball with the Spanish elders. A guy came and started playing with us, he said his name was McCall. We played for an hour, and then shared a message of Jesus Christ with him. He said he would come back again when we were there!

Some things to look for this week:

• I have my final exit interview with President Horgesheimer on Thursday.
• We have a ward bbq and picnic on Friday evening for the Akron ward
• A great week ahead of us!

I am so grateful for this last week. We averaged receiving 2 self referrals every single day, and that is a testimony to me that people are more ready than ever to know about our Heavenly Father and Savior. As I said at the beginning, I'm so grateful for every last chance I've been given out here in Columbus, Ohio to serve and come to love these people with every last ounce of my heart. This truly is the work of the Lord. 

Only 2 more emails left!😁

I love you always and forever .  .  .
