Week 4: 1st week in Ohio

Hello everyone!

So some updates.
1. I can't talk on Tuesdays anymore because that was in the MTC so my new P-day in Ohio is Wednesday.
2. I am now in Ohio 🎉🎉🎉 it has been great the past week being here.
There are not any mountains so that is a bummer but it is so green and there are so many trees!!!  There are trees everywhere, and squirrels to.  there are so many squirrels here and they get so close to you because they are used to people.    There are also so many bugs.  However, not mosquitos surprisingly, I have not seen a lot of those.  There are a lot of crickets and cicadas, cicadas are the most annoying things ever. 
3. So my area is the Worthington ward and it is the entire town of Worthington.  It is just north of Columbus and it is a really cool town.  The buildings all look colonial and it is cool.
4.  I also have family here!  The ward I go to now is the same ward that my cousin and his family that lives here goes to so it was really cool to see him on Sunday.  
5.  My trainers name is Elder Paul, he is from Arizona and he is a real cool guy.  He really likes music and artsy stuff like that.  
6.  On Thursday we went to the Kirtland Temple and learned a lot of that history.
7.  I also have been doing more family history.  BYU has a relative finder online and it uses your family tree.  It shows you famous people you are related to.  Here is a few screen shots.

 

 

So I do not actually have any pictures to send this week because I didn't take any or haven't gotten the ones that were actually taken of me yet so sorry about that.
But for my first week here it has been great.  I have met so many really cool people, both members and non-members, and some people that were not as cool, lol.
But this place is really cool and I have loved it. 
Something I want to share with you guys that happened in the MTC and I didn't think about sharing it last week but I will this week.  
So while in the MTC there was a weight room that we could workout in. It was nice and it had ten tv's that would repeat whatever was put on them.
One of the tv's just repeated the "Joseph Smith, The Prophet of the Restoration".  It is a great movie and y'all should watch it.
Because it was on repeat all the time, I got to watch it a lot.  It made me realize that all of the opposition that Joseph had in his life, and all of the people trying to stop him, I feel that it would not have been as bad as it was, unless Lucifer or Satan had his hand in it.  And if he had his hand in it then he must have really not wanted it to happen.  So to me having this realization helped me to know that this gospel has to be true and that Joseph Smith was truly a Prophet.  I leave this with you in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.  
That is all I really have to say, if y'all want to talk or have questions then feel free to email me.  
I love you all and I know God loves you all to.
