Jamaican me crazy

 Well everyone it's been a fast week. The work is a little slow but I had some really cool experiences. I was out finding some new friends on Jamaica Avenue when I invited this little Hispanic man to church. He spoke no english but he said yes and asked what church. I told him what church and he started to get so excited then he proceeded to give me a hug. A day later when the Spanish speaking missionaries called him they told me that he had almost been baptized back in Mexico but wasn't able to as he moved here so quickly. But it's a miracle that God put us in each other's paths.

The Amaya family we have been teaching are finally getting baptized. They've had missionaries trying to help them be baptized for years. Kinda crazy that we are the last missionaries in this part of the work. There is 5 of them. Please keep them in your prayers. Herson, Hailey, Iverson, aiden, shivanie. We are so happy to help them out and really help strengthen their family relationships. I know they are ready. 
We had Interviews with President Holmes this week so that was fire. He told me I'm doing amazing and he sees how far I've progressed so far, but he knows how much more capable I am. It was amazing. I encourage all of you to ask God and pray out loud every morning and night too and I promise that you will have more sincere prayers. God will help u out more is what I'm trying to say. I've seen it help my work out tons. Ohh and president is mega rich so he bought us all halal which is like lamb over rice stuff which is good. Definitely destroyed my stomach and almost died on the train ride home. 🙃  
Ahh and I forgot about zone conference last week. It was fire too. And I got an award for the cleanest apartment contest. Only 10 missionaries out of the 100 missionaries there so yeah I'd say I keep my apartment pretty clean. Crazy huh. 
It was an amazing week and I'm so excited for this next week. More and more miracles to come.  
I pray for all of you everyday.
Love, Elder mikkola. 



Well I didn't make sure it sent so that's why it's late. My bad.

Well everyone I'm still here in inwood. The work is going alright. We had a cool friend rose and her little brother that were going to get baptised. She called Saturday and said that she is no longer Interested in baptism and that she would rather live the worldly life. It kinda broke my heart but it happens so much I know that she will come back at some point and god will provide another friend for us to teach and baptise.  Transfers happened and as far as it goes on where I'm at and who I'm with I'm still in inwood. Im going to miss elder narvato and i love that man so much. He taught me so much about charity and being content with life and what we have. Im excited to go visit him in the Philippines some day! I'm with elder bjornberg. I did get a training call and I guess you could call me his trainer but he's been out for 20 months and he went home from another mission and came back out to NYC. I don't feel like a trainer at all but oh well we are working...

 Well brother and sisters, moms and dads, aunts and uncles, friends and family, oh and great grandma. Wait.... u don't have any sisters...... It was a great week to say the least and I'm greatful to be here in brooklyn. The Lord is so involved in this work and I'm so so greatful to serve as a missionary. We have been teaching a family (mom and son) "Moe and Amaziah". I had met them on Coney Island back in May and she wanted to come to church but couldn't that week then from May into August she didn't answer the phone. Fast forward to about two weeks ago she picked up and I invited her to study with us and to be baptized. She was a little hesitant but after teaching her about the restoration, The Book Of Mormon, Joseph Smith, and especially Russell M. Nelson it was lights out and she desired baptism so much. All of the lessons were so fire and she even said this " I want to live in the Celestial kingdom and keep my covenants". I'm telling you ...

My bad my bad

  Hey everyone its been a long while since ive done any writing and i feel a bit guilty thats why im here haha. For those of you that dont know im living in brooklyn now and its been a wild ride and im loving every bit of it (almost...) we switched apartments almost a week into the transfer into a dumpy little apartment that needed and still needs some attention. I served the role as a plumber for a day. the p trap in the bathroom sink was rusted out and pouring water all over the place and no one said anything anything. the past tenants were pigs thats all i have to say. they didnt clean whatsoever , especially in the bathroom. I used a whole thing of paper towels and half a container of clorox wipes that was a nightmare. Oh i cant forget i had to recaulk the shower becuase the landlord wouldnt fix anything. ON the brightside we had two friends that were baptised this last week (anthony, Marjorie). they are some pretty cool people who wanted some change in theyre lives. Theres a b...
