Hello Fellow Friends, Family and Acquaintances,



The Cav's Home


Yesterday we were given some foam fingers as we walked the streets...
 (yes that is the covered bald spot from the barber) 





    Hope your week went well and that god has watched over you as he has watched over this poor wayfaring city this week! It was one for the books... It looks like all the prayers really paid of for Lebron and Co. #champs the city went wild last night after the cavs won and I couldn’t fall asleep due to the amount of gun shots, fireworks, sirens and horns going off for about 3 hours or more straight. People were literally taking their guns out side and just unloading them into the air, ha-ha the people here are crazy. But when I woke up this morning and went outside it seemed like the city was brighter...  or something like that.


Well here are some bright spots from the week.


We had 12 investigators at church yesterday plus 4 less actives :) . It was one of the craziest days at church because I was playing mommy for Charisses children, like 6 of them ha-ha. I had to help them stay reverent during church, guide them to their classes and then find and round them up after church and then guide them to the car.... by the end of all of it one of the kids turned around to me and said "hey Happy Father’s day dad" ha-ha, it was the funniest thing and all the members that were around couldn’t stop laughing. But we were able to get most of the things planned out for the 4 baptisms we have this week at church, so it was all good :) ‘Twas a good day.

Other miracles, this week Elder Brady and I were conversing with some members and the idea came up of getting one of Charisses kids to girls camp this week and so I took it and ran with it. So we made some calls, visited with the girl (Alexis) and presented it to her and she said yes. So, when they came to church she and Charisse met with some of the members and they talked about it for an hour (talk about a miracle for fellowship) and got it all worked out! So she is going one day this week for girl’s camp. I think that will be a really awesome experience for her. 

Charisse has only smoked one cigarette this week! She is still on date for baptism this week and so are her other 3 children, Tiffany, Alexis and Mercedes. Another cool thing is that we set a Temple date with her and Alexis for July 9th and this week, we are having a stake member come and do family history with them both to get them names :)))) miracles, miracles, miracles :)))) Who woulda thought 3 months ago that this family would be where they are now?? God is a god of miracles. The other fun thing that happened with that family this week is that we went over for a BBQ on Sunday night and let me tell you that these inner city folks really know how to cook up some mean ribs. Also I had one of the other family members try and propose to me, it was kind of funny... later that night I texted her the scripture story of Joseph and Potipher’s wife... I don’t think she was to happy about that, lol. 

More miracles, so we have been working with a returning member towards the temple and this week he met with the bishop and set a date for the temple!! We also found him a ton of names to take to the temple :))))) Another less active/ returning member miracle was that we took another guy to the Family history center and he found 15 names to take to the temple! He was crying after wards because of the spirit he felt during that time... it was quite amazing :) 

Weird story, well Elder Brady and I came in contact with another man in the streets of Cleveland that thinks Jesus is black and that because of it that us white folk will not be saved... well I wasn't in the best mood because right before that the chain on my bike had broken and we were by a Spanish shop so I went to ask the Spaniards for help but I didn't know how to say tire in Spanish. So, I kept saying the round things on my bike in Spanish and we all had a good laugh about it...buuut after they helped me fix it the guy came up and proceeded to try and bible bash with us so I just said, " Alright sir, if you can prove to us with scriptures that Jesus was black and that he is only going to save a certain color of people then I will pay you 5 bucks, but if not, then you have to take this Book of Mormon and meet with us and let us share a message with you." So he agreed and then tried to prove to us that Jesus was black but failed miserably and accepted the book. We got him the info, but he still wouldn't accept the restoration pamphlet because the pick of Jesus was white on the front ha-ha-ha. It was a good time. 





Well this week was great, miracles everywhere, The Cav’s are the champions, the people are happy and nice and life is hopeful. The book is blue and the church is true :)
