New York PIZZA

I have never seen a pizza slice as big as you do in New York. The pizza pie is about 2 1/2 FEET, yes almost 3 feet in diameter. They are huge. The slice is enough to fill up two people. They are amazing. Two pieces are about as big as Little Ceasars whole Pizza back home. And they are actually pretty darn good. You can get a slice for $2. We found this out as we were looking for something to feed the 4 sister missionaries that we moved into an apartment today along with the 4 elders that helped.

Try moving into an apartment that is on the 17th floor out of 29 floors and there is only one elevator working, and it is saturday when everyone is home and going everywhere. Waiting line to get on the elevator, about 20 people deep and 20 minutes wait, and that is if you are number 10 or lower in line. Then try putting furniture in the elevator. Always an adventure.

Doug did share a gospel message with a lady while in line. She said she would read the book of mormon. Sister Sterling was great too. She gave a pass-along card to someone in the elevator and had a nice chat with her. While on one of the many buses today, the bus driver said he wished he had time to sit and visit with a missionary, but he is always busy driving bus. Have you share the gospel with someone today?
