Bautismo

 This last week was pretty awesome. 

Well time is really flying. Pretty soon I'll be at 9 months which is crazy. I wouldn't trade my time here for anything. I've been apart of many miracles lately. One of them being my friend Clarence. We met him on the train a few weeks ago. He's from Pakistan. He had been to the church a few times there. Worked with missionaries a tiny bit and was planning on being baptised and Got busy with work and moved here. Clarance came to the church the day after we talked to him and he's came a long ways. Including his family who he told that they needed to talk to missionaries. We contacted elders in Germany. That's where his wife and 3 kids live. They started teaching them and were baptised on July second. I know the power in this work. Coming to see the joy that they have from the gospel has changed me forever. I will be going to Germany hopefully to watch them get sealed for time and eternity. Clarance isn't just a friend I baptised. He's one of my best friends and he loves coming to studys with go and coca cola. He calls me Spiderman because I always give the Spiderman sign to him haha. 

My birthday was this week. It was good. Had some fajitas for dinner and was able to talk to some very nice people throughout the day. Thanks for the gifts and cards and packages from everyone. You know who you are and I love and appreciate you all regardless if you sent something or not. 
I had pigeons eat from my hands this week and I saw a huge dead rat. 

I encourage you all to go read helaman 5:12 today and always remember that Jesus christ is our rock. I love that scripture and I share it daily. I want you all to share it with someone this week and write me an email and tell me how it went. 

Love you all, Elder Coca-Cola

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...
