Hello!
Well it's finally spring here
in PA. There have been about 4 days of warm sunshine. It's been
awesome. I have definitely missed that. I've practically gone albino
this winter. It's starting to get so green here as well! It's crazy,
because it just feels so natural here. It feels like i have always been
here, and gone to the Pitt 3rd chapel. Our week was pretty grand too!
The beginning of the weeks started good! After P-day we went
and taught P. Our investigator. He always talks about
the book of revelations. We looked on his desk, and he had all these
creepy satanic movies. So we pretty much got out of there pretty quick,
and dropped him from our investigator pool. Then we helped Brother
Memmott do some more service. They are frantically trying to get their
house on the market by tomorrow, because they are going to Disney World
for a week. They are moving to Utah in the summer. Brother Memmott got
a job at BYU as a nuclear professor. Tuesday i went on an exchange to
Greensburg, with Elder Glick. Elder Wilson came to my area with Elder
Bowers. They had a great time, and picked up 4 potential
investigators. I had a great time in Greensburg helping Elder Glick
with his missionary work.
Wednesday we switched back, we went and taught A. and
K. K's. friend
P. wants to learn again. She said that she is going to beg her
mom to let her be baptized. After we had dinner at the Memmott's, and
went to BoM Class. Thursday we visited with T. Our investigator
getting baptized on MAY 9! Previously before the lesson, we had to get
our oil changed which took 4 hours!!!!!!!! It was ridiculous. After we
had dinner with the Cooks.
Friday was interesting. In the morning we went and helped
Memmott with his house. Then we did our weekly planning. After we went
to a members house and had dinner with them. Then we dug a grave for
their dog in the pouring rain. I mean it was pouring; of course only
while we were digging. It stopped right when we finished. After we
went and taught C. He's from El Salvador. He doesn't speak much
English so the lesson was... rough. We are going back today to teach him
with a member who speaks Spanish. He's investigating though! Saturday
we did a lot of service. We helped a member rebuild his retaining
wall. Our FHC had a big event to we helped with that. Then we helped
the Memmott's and then had dinner at the McDowells. It was super fun,
but not a whole lot of proselyting. Our appointments fell through.
Sunday we had church then went to dinner at the Snow's. After we went
and taught a less-active family with Brother Memmott. He gave them his
PS3 and they were SO happy! It was really neat to watch.
Overall it was a great week. I'm excited for this week,
but i cannot believe i only have 3 more weeks here! I really am going
to miss this place. I've been here for 7 months now! CRAZY! Well i
hope you have a great week. Love ya.
