Wanted: People to teach


This has been interesting week indeed. I got my new companion;  He is an interesting fella who has 3 months left on his mission and tells great Jokes.  He’s fun.

With the people we’re trying to teach, all we’ve been able to do is try to get in contact with them and set up appointments.  Also, we’ve been setting up get-to-know-you appointments with more members since I haven't been here that long, It's all good here, gotta love the very small branch of McKeesport, the chapel looks like ours except it only has 6 rows of pews.😂

Forgive me for not having a great missionary experience to share this week .  Thus far all we've been doing is knocking on our teaching pool doors just trying to get some lessons planned out.  We haven’t had a lesson since Thursday of last week. Sad isn't it? But anyways that's a little bit about my week.


Love,
Elder Hunt

Mother Nature messed up


Today is supposed to get to 63 degrees so yes, it's hot here and it's going to be like that all week.  Last week it was -12°. Its ridiculously hot this week in comparison, so Mother Nature needs to make up her mind about the weather.


There's not much to say of this past week, we were mostly under house arrest because of the extreme cold.  It was a bit chilly at -12, and we were allowed outside for ten minutes at a time by order of the Mission President.

Alma 12:7 replace Alma and Amulek with two missionaries names and tell me what you think of the following story.

7 Now when Alma had spoken these words, Zeezrom began to tremble more exceedingly, for he was convinced more and more of the power of God; and he was also convinced that Alma and Amulek had a knowledge of him, for he was convinced that they knew the thoughts and intents of his heart; for power was given unto them that they might know of these things according to the spirit of prophecy...

This experience made me think of that scripture. We knocked this man’s door he said he doesn't believe in our church.  So, I asked this question that works 9 of 10 times you ask it.  I asked, “If you could ask God any question what would it be?” And he said “where is my daughter?  She was taken from me too early in life.” We taught the plan of happiness and he said that God hates him and doesn't know him. We showed him examples of God calling people by name and he said, "I have some repenting to do" He has our number so he might give us a call, we’ll see.

I'm sorry, but after spending 6 months in Pennsylvania in the territory of the Pittsburgh Steelers you learn three things 1. The Steelers are the best 2. The Steelers hate the Patriots for winning the Superbowl because now they’re tied for all time Superbowl wins. And 3, the Steelers will be your favorite NFL team.  Forever.
