Almost a year

Well as you can tell I've gotten pretty bad at writing but maybe I'll get better haha, Better pray for it!!!! Staten Island is a cool area. This week us and the Spanish elders helped a new member move in. 50 stairs up and a whole truck load. It took us two and a half hours but he bought us pizza. Definitely a good work out.  Things have been very very slow but this week things picked up a notch. We haven't been getting anyone to church but last week was conference at we had 6 or so people watch.#conferwncemiracles. Then this week we walked out the apt door to go to church and the road was blocked off for a marathon in which we knew nothing about and they wouldn't let us leave or go anywhere so we ended up walking over to the other elders apt which was blocked off as well and had the sacrament. It was a much needed refresh for the week. We had 3 friends make it to the church who all want baptism. Luckily the sister missionaries live right next to the church so they attended and took care of our friends. Two of them speak little English and mostly French. The other lady is so sweet and they all loved church! This transfer has been a struggle but the lord will provide. I know that as we work hard that the lord will give us miracles. Keep up your faith no matter what the adversary throws at you. Go read your scriptures!!, go pray, go do something nice for someone!! The lord will provide!!!!!!! Have a good week everyone and maybe I'll still be in Staten Island next week maybe not. 

LOVE, ELDER COCA-COLA

Inwood

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...

The work

  Well everyone you probably think im dead again you probably are upset with me. The mission has been pretty hectic lately. I ended up getting trasfered last thursday. My new comp is Elder Kwon from Korea. Funny story behind this. Some elders called us around 12 on thursday asking about a member in inwood, right before the conversations ended he mentioned his name was elder Kwon, and i blurted out of no where "Im excited to be comps with you" then 9 hours later i was called to go to brooklyn to be comps with Elder Kwon. The start of this trasfer has been really good so far. We had 4 people come to church on sunday who are really interested in baptism. Our finding area is mostly in coney island which is sketchy as heck but I want to find more than just a few new spots. Also my cousin Elder Beck is back in my district so thats nice. Theres a few of you who sent me letters I need to write back to so just know I didnt forget about you.  Please respond to this email if you love me...

 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 ...
