Sorry

 Well it's been almost a month so I apologize. The mission has honestly been testing me lately. This transfer might be one of the most testing ones yet. It's a close fight for my first transfer but the lord is truly helping me with patience. I know everything is in his time and even tho I feel sometimes things should workout and they don't I'm great full for the lessons he's teaching me. We haven't had any baptisms this month which is kinda unusual but that's OK. We have one this week for our awesome friend jose. He's 18 years old and comes to church by himself. It's so cool to see his desire to change and draw close to the savior. 


    As far as any other items in elder coca colas brain that I think I need to write about.... hmm........ well I guess my dads plumbing skills rubbed off on me a little. Not enough to leave a crack but I did fix our sink kinda. Our bathroom p-trap rusted through and started leaking so I took it off and went to the plumbing warehouse and they gave me a new one for free. That night I proceeded to put it all together and it worked but I forgot to mention it still didn't drain. I got upset and took the toilet plunger to the sink and it didn't work but it left crap all over in the sink. I then got a bucket and loosened the p trap the tiniest but and it started spraying that crap water all over me and I hadn't even changed out of my church clothes yet. I was not happy and I'm working on my patience. I'm so thankful for the atonement haha. 

Went on a few exchanges this week both in a row. They were pretty fun and I felt like I learned alot about teaching and stuff. 

We had a ward BBQ this weekend so that was fun. Probably the most least productive day of my mission. We got there at 1 and left at 5 and all we did was eat burgers and play soccer. Jose even came with us and it was so much fun. I haven't been taking a whole lot of pictures so I apologize but I'll add a few in here.  Send me an email back. Love,

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...
