Aloha Family and Friends,
This week was particularly difficult for my district, and I’m not sure why. I ran exchange Thursday night and the other set of elders seem to be doing fine now. Then on Saturday I had interviews with the sisters and talked to or rather just listened to them for over an hour. I’m not sure what happened but I think everyone was tired, and needed an ear to pour their souls into. If the other sets of missionaries have been working like my companion and I have, then they have been going non-stop, taking no thought for themselves. I think everyone just needed to stop and take a breather. I myself have been exhausted lately, but despite that I kept pushing. It got to the point that I couldn’t focus, I couldn’t think and the only reason I did anything was because If I wasn’t working then I felt like I was wasting time. Not the happiest feeling ever.
Anyways from now on I’m going to try to take it a little easier. There’s no point trying to push if in the end it’s only going to have a negative effect on the work, and make me miserable, not to mention physically sick.
I’m still tired, but that will probably pass in time. I imagine that if I could have watched conference it would have been a nice refresher; however we don’t get to see it until after Easter. Even then I’m the only American out here so I might never to get to see it in English. The mission President is on his way here and we will be having mission conference tomorrow so maybe that will provide the spiritual refreshment I need. At the very least he will bring mail which is always nice.
Sorry I can’t think of what else to write this week. Love you all,
~Elder Pitt
