Elder Stuart Hunt: Greetings from Pittsburgh!!

Hello all,

Holy mother of pearl, the humidity is terrible in Pittsburgh, I hate it. It's so bad I feel like I could just inhale air and get a drink simultaneously,

I'm in the true gangster zone of the mission. We have an investigator his name is ______, but his gang name is "______" he talks like a regular gangster from New York. He is the best guy, he’s a saint on the inside but a shoot to kill ask questions later guy. He wants to know about the gospel but doesn't want his appearance to look different in the hood.

My companions is Elder Atkinson. He’s a great trainer. He’s been out for a year and he’s a magician of cards and coins. He taught me some tricks and I taught him the ways of the Rubik’s Cube. He learned really fast. I'm happy that he’s my companion. He and I are so much alike, we both like soccer, basketball and volleyball. We like sleep, food and we love it when the members feed us.

A little about leaving Utah and getting here. Packing in the MTC went well, it was super easy to pack. We got to bed at 9pm and got up at 3am to catch our Flight. We took FrontRunner and then switched to Trax to get to the airport. It all went well.

I was the Assistant Travel Leader for our group of 27 traveling to Pittsburgh. Some people were able to call home, but as you know, I didn’t get a chance. We had a connection at the Minneapolis airport then on to Pittsburgh.

President Bednar is the best mission president anyone can have. We spent the first night in the mission home, there were a lot of people in that mission home. The next day we got our companions and went to our area.

I love study time, it’s the best! In the mornings we study our own stuff then we discuss it together. We can sleep in a little only on P-days so today we slept in until 7, so nice! The rest of the days we get up at 6:30am.

The members here are wonderful and super friendly! The Bishop and his family fed us yesterday. I never thought about how much missionaries loved being fed until now

I love this place!! This is the best thing I could ever do with my time!

Chat next week,
Elder Hunt
