Christmas

 So everyone I finally managed to drag myself to write an email. This last week has been a freaking grind that's all I have to say. Every day was pretty close to 8 hours walking around on the street and it kind of gets depressing sometimes. I think what honestly honestly drives me is Christ's atonement. Trying to help others learn about it and be baptised.  I know that he truly did suffer and die for everyone of us. I know that it's Christmas and we are focusing on the birth of the savior too but I know that my savior lives.  


Today was a crazy day. Woke up opened a few presents and headed straight to Brooklyn for a little zone pday. We watched a movie on Netflix called Klaus. If you haven't go watch it. It's pretty much all about charity. Then we headed back to the island for games at the church with the district. I got a torta from this Hispanic run down deli from lunch because it was closed. But honestly... it was amazing. Then we were planning on going to a members house at 6:30 then we found out that she was sick and we couldn't go. There was a few people in the district that weren't hungry so we didn't end up getting any actual food. We did end up getting ice cream so I guess that was good. Not really. I got Twix ice-cream that had been frozen and un frozen a million times. But got to talk to my family so that was definitely the highlight of the day. I didnt get back to a few emails from you all today so I promise I will next week. Anyways take care and I love you all.

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...
