Well this week was a good one! We traveled the mission again.... This stuff never stops!! ;) It was kinda fun though cause we drove with the Johnson. I really do love them. It was nice to really getting to know them though. We spent like 9 hours in the car with them so i better know them by now huh ;). Not a lot happened though like we traveled around and i got to see all the missionaries, which i think is always my favorite part of all this stuff! So this last week we found out that we are getting a sold investigator moving in to our area! She lived in the Pitt 6th ward and we are in the Pitt 5th ward. So its still the same building and all that jazz just a different ward different people and a different meeting time ;). Nah but we get to meet her on Wednesday to have kind of a switch off lesson and its gonna be amazing ;) Ha 

Well the 4th of July was AMAZING!!! We had a ward BBQ at the Bushmans whom i love they are an awesome family! But it was great!!! Well besides this one random lady was there and she is like 28 or something like that... She served her mission here in the Pittsburgh mission like 7 years ago! And she has moved her and is living with some members and came to the ward party, she usually goes to the single ward. But she was there and she was talking to Elder Shields and i and we had some of the most awkward conversations.... Like how she is not sexually active and how she went on this date with this guy but she dont like him.... It was probably one of the worst awkward moments on my mission.... hahahaha Ah i love my life. But other than that the party was AMAZING we played ultimate Frisbee i was in stinking heaven! But we started playing  really late so we thought that we would only have like 30 mins to play so we were playing and the next thing i know fireworks were going off and i looked at the time and it was 930!!! So luckily President Johnson was there so we ran over to him and we asked him if it was still okay that we were there and he told us that he couldnt think of a better place for us to be than with the members and with him!! So we got to watch Fireworks with the members and it was AWESOME!!! I loved my life that night!!! Ah it was great!

Well this last week i have been thinking a lot about the Book of Mormon. In the ward here we are trying to read the BOM before the school year starts this next year and the ward is on fire! It is amazing to see how the BOM will change someones life! You can see the effect it has on some of the members! I know it has a huge effect on me! I have learned so many simple little truths from the Book of Mormon! And they are the small and simple things that i have built my testimony on! And i have gained so much faith and knowledge from those things. But at the same time those things being so simple and small i can see how easy they would be to forget. I have seen a lot of people forget those things sense i have been on my mission. And i can now see why some of those people back at home have strayed away. Its because they have stopped reading the BOM. Or in some cases have never read the BOM, so they do not know what they are missing out on. I have a testimony that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. I know that it is the word of God. And i know that it will lead and guide us in these latter days. The book is blue, and the gospel is true ;)

The stink in the apartment is gone only to be recovered by a new smell of smoke from us grilling with some other missionaries on the 4th.... My bad... ;) The garments.... well they are still stained... Its best if i just throw them away its that bad.... But i also had some of my white shirts in there so it would be nice if i had a little extra somethin somethin to go buy maybe one or two shirts.... :D But i told of the sisters here what happened and she went out and bought me this mexican soap that is supposed to help and be all amazing.... But i have to do my laundry in the bathtub so its been a fun experience :).... But the results arent amazing yet... We will see what happens. Well i love you all! I hope that you all are doing good :)
