Buenas Tardes!
Not a lot has been going on lately... Don't know what the
deal is- maybe things are just getting routine-ish.
Last week after
writing you, we went to the temple and that was great! I love the Manhattan
Temple- it's beautiful all around. And the temple is just great all in all.
Afterwards we went shopping at Century 21 (sweet clothing shop- like Marshall's
but 20x better). I got a new tie and some
presents that I'll be sending home soon. Hopefully...
Can't remember
much from Thursday.
Friday was a good though- we went to a our first
appointment with a guy that we knocked into and committed him to baptism! He's
ready to change his life and we're excited to continue to share our message with
him to help him do such. We also had some good experiences with an "Area
Proselyte Focus" where everybody in our zone went knocking for a set of English
missionaries in the Zone. We talked to some people and taught the ten points of
"How to Begin Teaching" (in chapter 10 of Preach My Gospel) to a lady and it was
good. She almost committed to baptism too. We're being kind of bold in
inviting people right away because that's really what it's all about- baptism,
and using that as a step be able to fully access the Atonement. That night we
taught English Class and it was great! I love teaching English class and I
really love our students.
Saturday was great- got to teach English Class
again and then we got to go eat at one of my favorite member's houses. We had
flautas- probably my favorite food I've had. If you ever get the opportunity to
have flautas, take it because they're the best! Nothing terribly exciting
happened after that.
Sundays are pretty draining- lots of time spent at
the church and that's about it. We had a couple of appointments after and that
was about it.
Monday we had interviews and those were good. It was the
first time getting to do that since coming from the mission home. President
Morgan is great and he gave some good advice. Afterwards we had a couple good
appointments.
Tuesday we had service- working at an old folks home where
everybody speaks Spanish, had a couple appointments and then English Class.
That was about it.
Today we did our normal preparation day chores, then
we went to the United Nations! Kind of crazy, but yeah there's a member in our
ward that works there so he gave us a good inside tour of the place. I'll send
some pictures. It was really inspiring though seeing where the world comes
together to try to make sure things aren't crazy. I would love to have a career
that allows me to interact with people from all over the world.
Random
note- there's an Alex Bermudez who works with the Young Men in our ward that
served in Grayson and Collins Hill- he remembers eating at the Gregerson's and a
lot of the other Grayson Ward people and so he says "Hey!" It was good
reminicing over good ol' Georgia.
So that was my week! We've got
transfers in a week, so we'll see what goes down! Things are going well (and
we've got a good Mexican dinner tonight, so even better!), and I'm looking
forward to the upcoming week. Thanks for all the support back home- I hope you
have a great upcoming week!
