The work keeps moving forward

All our appointments fell through this past week so we're back to square one trying to reschedule lessons . It's OK, its all part of the adventure.  We're always trying to find new contacts as well.

We did have one great experience last week, we were at the store and a man walked up to us and was so happy to see us which is always a surprise because that never happens.  He said he felt God told him to go to the store that day and now he knew it was to meet us.  He took off his cross necklace and gave it to me.  It was the most genuine gift.  He was so kind and sincere and wanted me to have it.  He took our number but he hasn't called us.  Maybe one day.

We have the best branch in all the church.  Our Branch President is so great and the members are so loving and caring.  They are always asking us if we need anything or if there is anything they can do for us.  They really value missionary work here. Members are always willing to go teach with us.  They are always feeding us and they buy us groceries every week so we hardly have anything to buy.  Sister Murphy takes us to dinner every Friday and not to McDonald's either.  Last week she took us to a nice Italian restaurant and this next Friday she's taking us to P.F. Chang's. This branch is so thoughtful.

I loved my time on exchanges with Elder Nave.  He's our district leader and he's awesome.  We had some great bonding experiences together.

District meeting was great.  We have three companionships in our district, the Elders from Greensboro, the Pitt 7 Sisters and us in McKeesport.  Our district leader, Elder Nave, asked each companionship to share a Christlike trait that can help us in the work.  The Greensboro Elders did Knowledge, the Sisters did Humility and we did Patience.  The other missionaries said they love it every time I share because they "feel my sincerity, genuineness and love." I'm not sure what all that means but I thinks it's good.

That's it for now. The work keeps moving forward.

Have a great week,
Elder Hunt
