February 18, 2013

Dear Family,
Well, I guess you want to know where I am, who my companion is, what he is like, and how well we are doing! First of all, I am serving in the Oxford, OH area. It covers Oxford, Somersville, and College Corner. The area is mostly in Ohio, but we do go a little bit into Indiana. Oxford, OH is the home of Miami University so most of our time is spent on campus. My companion is Elder Moore, he is from Pason, Utah. He has been here for 4 and a half months. He just barely got done being trained himself! Scary thought huh? So ya, he is really good, He has taught me a lot so far. Neither of us are very good at street contacting, but we have gotten four new investigators through tracting in apartment complexes.
So, a little bit more about the area and the members within. Our area is the same as the Branch here. There are about 20 or 30ish members here. We have a grand total of 2 students who go to Miami and the rest our families in the area. We are not the only missionaries in the area. Elder and Sister Bass are the senior missionaries here, they are really helpful. So far, I like all the member's that I've met! They are all nice people.
So yesterday, we had dinner with the Proffitts. They are an inactive part-member family. They love the missionaries, but don't want to go to church. We ate really well there! We had a small salad, then we had STEAK and POTATOES!!!! It was probably the best meal I have had since I've left. Zane would really like Brother Proffitt, they would get along very well.
So ya, that was my week! I will be sending my journal entries today!
Love all of you!!!!
-Elder Lemmon


p.s. You can still e-mail me back!
