Fastest 7 months of my life

This week has been a pretty good week. We taught a bunch of lessons
this week and we had some awesome experiences.

So our investigator Martez we were able to see again and we taught the
plan of salvation to him and his wife Sora. Sora is already a member
and she just married Martez and so now Martez is interested in
learning more. So we taught the plan of salvation. And it was so cool
to have the spirit testify through me and elder Butikofer about the
truthfulness of the plan of salvation. We weren't too sure how the
lesson went because Martez doesn't show a lot of emotion but this
Sunday our Patriarch came up to us and said I just talked to Sora and
she said that Martez really felt the spirit that lesson and loved and
really needed to hear what we said. Me and elder Butikofer felt so
good to hear that Martez felt the spirit that lesson. He is
progressing so well so far.

Our other investigator Danielle has been progressing so well too. She
has been reading the Book of Mormon and knows that the priesthood has
been restored. She loves everything we have to say and wants to learn
more and more!

We had a lesson with a guy named Matthew. He is a youth pastor and at
first that scared me a little. But he turned out to be an awesome guy
that sincerely wants to learn more. He had some disagreements with the
restoration but he never argued with us. He loved to hear what we had
to say. He had some interesting questions but nothing too bad. But it
was great to be able to have a great discussion with someone that
understood what Jesus Christ taught.

Well life is good here in Pittsburgh. And the work is progressing. I
can't believe I have been out almost 7 months now. Feels like the
fastest 7 months of my life!
