It's been an eventful week. I went on exchanges with Elder Syndergaard and we walked all over the city, it was a good time. He's s funny guy my favorite quote was to Elder Gille in reference to the wizard of Oz is "Was everything in Color once you left Kansas, or is it still in black and white?"
Near the river with Elder Syndergaard.
We met some new people this week and we've gotten to meet with our people to teach. Our main tops yinzers are Tony, Tonia, and Nick. We had another lesson with Tony and his mom, with the Butlers. He had some walls up at first but Elder Butler completely tore them down. He brought the spirit in so strongly and Tony had a change of heart. He wants to come to church but he couldn't because he had work in the morning.
Right before Tony's lesson we by chance met with Tonia and I gave her a priesthood blessing. The Spirit was strong even though I struggled with every thing to say. Hopefully we'll see her again soon.
We had a crazy dinner with Nick, crazy Linda, Debbie, and Elizabeth. There was absolute madness going on with Linda and Debbie but we had a powerful lesson with Nick. He's always told us he wasn't going to convert but during this lesson he said I think I need to be baptized again. Hallelujah! We're super happy with the progress were making with our investigators. And we should be meeting with more soon.
Other highlights consisted of a crazy woman in a power chair on the bus screaming at me then everyone else on the bus. She isn't a people person obviously. Also on the same ride I met a guy who claimed to be an angel and gave me some very interesting papers. Only on LSD I think can one write this kind of stuff he gave me. So he was entertaining as well. On Sunday Elder Masina and I walked around the Steelers stadium during a game so that was pretty cool.
We were privileged to go to members houses for dinners everyday this week, the Lovelands are always a highlight.
I'm also starting a lighter collection. Authentic Pittsburgh Discarded Lighters, I'm at 2 so far. It's been cool to see all the leafs change color, and now freeze because it got cold the past couple of days! I'm having a good time out here and like any good adventure there's ups and downs. But all is well.
