Dear Family,
So yesterday was zone conference, it was pretty interesting. President Summerhaze pretty much put the hammer down on the rules for the mission. The Pittsburgh Mission has been pretty lazy and president is pretty much ending that. They have had 2 general authorities come here in the past and have said that the elders here are too casual and in a somewhat of "rebellion." President really wants the mission to change since we're together now. "If that means sending elders home, so be it."
Nothing really new for us, everything he said we've already been doing in the Harrisburg Mission. Now I know why President Pugh told us not to lower our standards. Other than that things have been going pretty well, We've found a new investigator so far. Elder Tuipulotu has taught me how to play the ukulele, its pretty funny.
WE ARE MOVING APARTMENTS....... Just have everyone send mail to the Mission Office, they do forward mail to Pittsburgh areas, I got a letter today from the office, so I don't know what the deal is on mail, just have everyone send it to the office. I don't know when the exact date is for when we are switching apartment but don't send any more mail to the apartment after Friday. We'll go to the post office and have them forward anything we might get to the new address.
I doing good, and the work is slowly progressing but its going, the ward here is really awesome, a lot of really cool families. We get fed pretty well, at least 2-4 times a week, I'm getting fatter......... >.< gonna have to start cycling when I get back home again.
Love yunz,
Elder Holmes
Later that morning I asked Devin L. what he would do for his one year mark, I also hasked him if he new about the shooting that happened in the fitness club in Pittsburg...
Aaaaa its time to party! and go tracting.... heheh, yea I heard about the shooting, the instructor is in our ward... we heard about it yesterday.
Yeah its crazy she was shot twice, but she is going to be ok. We'll probably find out more on Sunday, but yea its crazy. The apartment we are in right now is crap, that's why we are moving, plus we are in a really really bad area. worse than Johnstown. When I got here I found some 9mm bullets in the parking lot. Tell mom about that one for sure!
Then later in the afternoon we found out he is moving within Aliquippa...
The mission office just called and said they are going to move us on Monday so don't send the package to the apartment, send it to the mission home and I'll be able to get it on Friday. We are having interviews so I'll get it then, the office brings mail/packages to interviews and zone conferences.
Got to go
Love ya
Don't send to the mission home, send to the mission home, so confusing where to send letters. A weird freaky thing about the Fitness Club Shooting, the instructor in the same ward as Devin L.
