Hey i am hanging in there pretty well...... So i know that you are all dying to know where the Lord has sent me to labor for the next two transfers.. Well I hope you all are... ;) But for the next 3 months or the rest of my training I will be in Hershey PA!! Yes the home of the beloved Hershey Chocolate. Its so crazy being here! my real address is actually 134 Rosedale Hershey PA 17033 ( Mariah put that one on my FB please :) ) Well the work here is great, kinda. Hershey is one of the harder areas in all of the Pittsburgh mission. The numbers here are not very high, people are just stuck in there ways here. But with my faith in the lord and it being my second week, I know that things will start to fall in to place. The ones who are ready to hear the Gospel will fall in to my path. But it will all be according to the Lords will. I learned a lot this past little while, its not on my time table for the next two years its on His. Its no longer two years of my time its two years of his. And I can honestly say that two years of my time will not be enough.

The people here are crazy awesome! The way you feel love for them the second you meet them is truly, Christ love for them! Its amazing to be able to see his love through my own eyes. For example today we were walking here to the library, oh yeah I am in a walk area, so everywhere I go will be on foot!! Fun huh ;) ha. But anyways we were walking here and we have to OYM, open your mouth, so we seen a lady walking down the road so I OYM'd I started by just saying hi, she looked at me and my companion lowered her eyes to our name tags. I continued by asking her if I could ask her a question, she just looked at us and said I only believe in one God and walked away... At first I was so mad! I was so mad cause she didnt even just take the time to hear us out. But as she walked away I got this over whelming feeling of sorrow... And I know that was the Lord allowing me to see her as he does. That feeling of sadness that someone would turn down this happy message that would make her just as happy as I.

This mission is great, all missions are great! I am in love with this work. I just want to stand and have every one feel of my love and of His love. Thats the only hard part about it, is you see all these people that just dont know what they are missing. Oh yeah so my companion His name is Elder Rasmussen, he is related to Peter Newman for those of you who know him. He has only been out for 3 months, he is fresh out of training himself. He is very in touch with the spirit. I love him already, lets just hope it stays that way for the next 3 months! Ha I hope to hear from you all real soon!! I love you all!

Hey family,

So two weeks, its been nothing short of great! I love this work that is going on! Its so crazy to see how many missionaries come in now days! There are SO MANY!! And you know what that means..... long lunch lines.... AHHH! I hate lines. So I am being shipped out this coming Monday, the 18th at 3 in the morning!! Ha but its totally whatevs. Not a lot has been going on this last week. I just have been so lost in the work. I met Elder Skinner here the one from Ramona.... At least I think so, he is going to Norway right?... Oh and bt the way dont be afraid to share these emalis with the family. I dont know how it will be out in the feild but here I dont get a lot of time for writing letters, meaning it will be hard to write every one updates. So if you feel so inclined feel free to forward these emails! Its feels weird to think that I will be out in the feild soon, these other Elders and Sisters are like my other brothers and sisters. I love these guys so much! Us pitts boys we fly out a day before the Canada Sisters and Elders. So we all have to say our goodbyes a day early. It almost feels like I am leaving home again! I dont know if its me being a district leader or what? But my love for these people is so crazy, I truly feel Christ love for each and every one of them. So my compaion, Elder Hill, he is amazing. He shouldnt be here because he was born def, he could not hear at all..... The Dr said that he wouldnt go anywhere in life, but thanks to tech. he is here! He teaches me so much! A very vry cool thing happened last week in the temple... I had been feeling like Devin wanst in my life anymore... dont ask me why cause I know that he is always here with me. But anyways, Before the temple I said a little prayer in my heart asking God to let me feel Devin in my life again.... So I went through and after I was sitting in the Celestial room, I started to pray, and in the middle of that prayer I felt a hand on my shoulder... I opened my eyes and saw no one, everyone was over sitting or talking to each other. Thats when I knew that it was Devins hand on my shoulder. I could just feel him there sitting with me. The most powerful moment of my life. I know that my prayers are answered. And yours are too. I love all of you!

Hey mom and dad,

So today is our P-Day, and it has been the best da yet. No not really ha its just been a good day to relax. So here in the MTC we have like over a 100 teaching experiences and we have whats called TRC. In TRC we get to teach real people, like people that are real investigators or real less active people, my companion and i, Elder Hill, we have a guy by the name of Carlos. He is catholic but had his problems with that church so he was refered to us by his friend. We have taught him twice Elder Hill and I and we have him commited to baptism this month on the 27!!! And our other investigator is Kent, he fell away from the church a while ago. He just had his problems with the church plus his dad and brother both we extrem alcholics but still went to church but both evetually passed away. So his questions was how can God do this to his children and does he not love us. So we have taught him once but already have him commited to come back to Church and read the Book of Mormon! 

Its so crazy to see that the Lord really does lead us to teach what he wants us to teach his children. I mean me, I have always felt as if i didnt know as much as I needed to know for my mission, and that really scared me. I felt like I could have done a lot more to help myself know what I needed to know. But its so crazy how we open our mouths and his words come out. I got to go. I love you so much!
