well everything is going really well. i love every second out and here, although i am starting to get frustrated and not liking how i just cant talk to everyone and just enjoy the mission. Right now the language is really hard for me the progress is really slow but i am trying hard. i will work a little hard this week to really work on it but thing other than that are really good. I get tired a little bit throughout the week since you work all day everyday but i love it non the less. i love all the latino people and everyone is just so friendly and nice. well that is a stretch. lets say the members are good. its a branch yeah. just one. anyway everyone else is like were penicostle we don't want to here your or i am a catolothic to heart. ha ha we just laugh and share our message anyway. the worst spanish here is from Dominican Republic, i cant understand a thing. As far as the spanish, i understand almost everything but i just can't talk so we will see how this next week goes.
I love all the food it is so crazy, i have to get used to picking out my own chicken bones though in like every meal cause they just throw it all in there and i guess it just adds with the flavor and everything. there is always a lot of fruit drinks, which have been really good, but the last one was cantalope whatever... terrible. um... every meal now seems to have rice for sure the corn tortilla which i have fallen in love with, i could eat them all day long they are so good. and then lettuce too... for some reason it is always part of your meal and you just put everything on the lettuce. it has been really good and i have come to like eating the hot food. there is always pico salsa on everything and the jalapeno sauce. i just love it. Actually the normal food now, never sets well in my stomach i need the spanish food.
um... i dont think there is anything that i don't like everything is just amazing. i will tell you a few stories now. Luiz Mendez.. he had met with the missionaries before and been taught a few times but he didn't really make any progress or go anywhere. well we have been teaching him. on my first visit with him we talked about the plan of salvation and more of what are purpose is here. we committed him to be baptised and he excepted so he is going to be baptised on the 17 sept. we are just helping him prepare and he is doing really well. he wanted to go to the temple so we went to the temple visitor center in dc. that temple is amazing, but luiz had a really good experience and he is loving the church. it is hard sometimes to get him to church because of work but we are doing our best. Another story. we were going by a potencial and they didn't answer so we were walking back to the car and Elder Crawford want to knock this one door. we had met the parents before they were penicostle and we didn't really want to knock cause we knew that they didn't want to listen but we did anyway. we knocked and then knocked again. nothing.... we started walking back when this kid comes out of the house. he told us to come back up. we told him we wanted to share a message with him and he let us in. i guess we had woken him up, but i think the spirit moved him alittle to come to the door. our lesson was amazing. we talked about the restoration. right after the joseph smith story he got really interested and he was just really feeling the spirit. it was amazing. but we asked when we could come back and he said that he works in washington dc from 5 to 10 everyday and we just happened to catch him. um... so we are trying to work things out cause he really wants to listen. um... other than that everything else is just normal, trying to help the recent converts out, or the less active. we teach alot of lessons to them. he actually helped this latino lady lay down her wood floor. we just had to cut it with a hand saw and fit everything together. it was pretty ghetto if you ask me, but she loved it and it was some good service. anyway i got to go... tell everyone hello.
love,
elder pitt
