First week in Pitt!

So I am in the Pittsburgh 7th ward now. And I have been called as the
district leader. So this area covers a lot of ground. It is the
biggest walk area in the mission! So Pittsburgh area covers a lot of
little boroughs. So I cover a bunch of boroughs and then a small part
of downtown Pittsburgh! We ride the bus as much as possible because
there is no other way to cover all that ground.

My companion is Elder Butikofer. And me and him get along a little too
well! Haha we are already very good friends we like to work hard but
have fun at the same time. He just got done being trained so I am his
second companion. It's cool to have him bring that greenie fire back
in me.

So this week has been strange trying to get used to a new area. I have
been studying the bus routes and where everyone we visit lives so I am
not lost. This area doesn't have a lot of people in the teaching pool.
But I guess it's time we get that back up. I know it is going to take
hard work and some time but me and Elder Butikofer are determined to
make this area great!

So we have one solid investigator his name is Martez he just married a
member. She is very active and so he wanted to start learning more
about the church. So my first night here we went to their house to
teach him the restoration. And I could just tell that he has been
prepared. He said that all of this makes sense and he can tell that
what we say is true. He said he is definitely going to read and pray
about the Book of Mormon! It was such a cool lesson to be in the
spirit was so strong it was incredible. The funny part is right after
we taught Martez our team up started talking and he basically taught
the restoration all over again by himself! Hahaha I was trying not to
laugh because he literally repeated everything me and Elder Butikofer
had just said. Haha

So I guess we taught two great lessons. But ya that was the highlight
of my week.

I'm doing great and hope I get to hear from you all!
