my mission goes! And it is a small town only known for the Little
league World Series other than that it is not known at all. And the
people are very interesting. A lot of mentally ill, and financially
troubled people. The ward is awesome we are fed pretty well. My
trainers name is Elder Bell he is from Moraga. And it turns out that
he played volleyball for Campolindo! We played against each other my
junior year and his senior year!!!!! How crazy is that! He is a very
good trainer and he works me hard! I thank my Heavenly Father everyday
for the trainer I got. But it's been hard because we opened up a new
area so he knew nothing about this area going into it and there was no
information on anyone. So we had to start from scratch but it has been
getting better. We already have 2 investigators. One was from a member referral and the other one we were teaching a lesson and her friend came in and he was interested in taking the lessons. I gave a Book of Mormon out my
first day through a street contact. And all kinds of great things. Oh
ya and my area is a walking area so ya it's cold and we have to walk
everywhere. Our heater is currently broke so our apartment is 30 degrees. I sleep in lots of layers. There are four elders in our our apartment. They are all great guys. The other elders are from Utah and Arizona. Soooo ya. I have an interesting first area. I am doing fantastic and I love being a missionary! And for the first time in my life I am starving. I can't get enough to eat! On a sad note, The day I arrived in my mission four sister missionaries were involved in a car crash killing one of the sisters. It has been very hard on many of the missionaries who knew her well. We are having a memorial service for her tomorrow. Please pray for the families involved and the missionaries in the Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Mission.
Love Elder Swisher
