Happy Thanksgiving!


This transfer is going to be an interesting one.  For starters, Elder Atkinson is leaving, he is going to Huntington over in Altoona and I'm ready to take over the area. Then the Spanish Elders are becoming Spanish entirely and we will get new missionaries in the South side.  My new companion will be is Elder Zarges.  I don't know anything about the other missionaries on South side.  I am the only one left in the English part of our district. Transfers are tomorrow because of Thanksgiving on Thursday.

My favorite part about a mission is the first lesson with people.  I love when we can teach!

As of right now we don't have any dinner date for Thanksgiving Day but previously we had an inactive family have us over for dinner and it happened to be a Thanksgiving dinner.  After dinner they gave us 2 bikes, so I have four bikes at our place, but we plan to give 2 of them to the South Side Elders.  Another dinner we were invited to was also a Thanksgiving dinner with one of our investigators we’re teaching.  Her name is Michelle and she is the best!

It snowed on Wednesday night and Thursday Elder Atkinson and I enjoyed a snowball fight. Then on Friday it all melted so no, I don’t count that.  It only snowed a couple of inches.  It doesn't snow a ton in the big city of Pittsburgh because of the pollution from the steel industry and the whole downtown big buildings thing.

This city is getting more violent by the day.  I’m not afraid of the gangs, I know why I’m here and I know I’m protected.  I hear gunshots almost every night while in bed. It’s pretty weird.  At first, I thought they were fireworks, now I know they’re just gunshots.


Have a great Thanksgiving!
