Well ill just get this over with. Im so ashamed about how bad I am at writing emails. Lets get to the juicy stuff. Right now theres 3 things that are specifically on my mind. The first one is that we had our friend mahmoud get baptized. He converted from being a muslim to being a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. It was a cool experience and we went through alot to get him there with the lords help. Sunday morning 3 weeks ago no one was answering the phone for church so I randomly called his number and he picked up and he came to the church. Found out he had a desire to be baptized and the very next week. Soooo with alot of time and faith we taught him and he hasnt missed church since. 2nd thing..... For the first time my whole mission I got Punched/slapped it was kind of a mix. Just on coney island which is sketchy as Frick walking with this homie that I'm chill with. This other dude passed us and my friend just tried to introduce me to him. Then the dude exploded and first said why you talking to this cracker crazy bleepity bleep and i stayed for a few more seconds then he shoved me and I started walking away and he followed me screaming at me then smacked/punched me upside the head 😄😅 don't tell anyone but I turned around with a clenched fist and I was gonna let it loose but the spirit comstrained me to not do it to say the least. Im glad I didnt because we are there all the time and it would be such a bad look and for all I know it would have escalated. A few people started yelling at him so I hope he felt bad. I wouldve been his friend😅😅👍

Last but not least I was called to be a trainer for a brand new missionary who I dont know yet. We had transfer calls tonight and im going to the bronx again I repeat im staying in brooklyn haha elder kwons going to the bronx anyways send me an emaill. 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...
