Elder Davis' Ohio Columbus Mission: Shaker Shack & Lots of Pics

It has been a good week. When we got to Cleveland on Thursday the sister missionaries told us we were supposed to be volunteering in Kirtland. So, we headed up there and worked at the strawberry festival with the Kiwanis Club. Ohio loves festivals. They have a lot of them. They liked us so much that we went back the next day and helped also. I met a senior couple who is serving in Kirtland. They used to be in my dad's ward when he was growing up. So, they know my grandparents and family also. They are the Isaac's. They were super nice. We scooped a lot of ice cream together.

Our apartment is called the Shaker Shack in the mission. It is one of the best apartments. It is so nice. We live above a member family. We love it and the elders before us left a lot of food so that was great.

Our ysa branch has about 50 people who come on Sundays. They were super nice. It is going to be a great area. We have one sister on date for baptism and are teaching several others.

We have all of the cool places in Cleveland in our area. We have two colleges. One is a music school. So, we talked to them about letting us proselyte on campus. They said that we definitely could.

There are a bunch of art museums and cool places to see here. We can't go to the Indians stadium though, dad :). It is out of our area.

Elder Stoddard and I get a long well. We are a lot alike. He is from St. George.

We live near Lake Eerie so that is pretty cool. It is going to be a great area. I am excited to be here.
