NYC

 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 they were more than prepared. The mission president even showed up to the baptism and stood in the circle when we confirmed them and the spirit was so strong I will never forget it.  I know that this church is true even though my knowledge isn't the best, I cannot deny the feelings I've felt not only sharing the gospel but living it. Anyways I love you guys and don't be afraid to shoot me an email. I'm honestly scared.... October 25th is coming up quick. Those of you that ride dirtbikes plan on a ride for the 26th at 8 am. Ps. I'm not trunky yet. 

Love ,  Elder Coca-Cola

  Well jts been another few weeks but i guess i managed to make it back to the keyboard. It's been quite the grind like usual and we have been struggling to find lots of people. We have had a pretty good progressing pool so that's been nice. We have a family that we are teaching. Chris, Kayla and Destiny are all preparing to be baptised on the 24th of december. Right now they are struggling to know if they want to get married or not. We gave them homework to read the family a proclamation to the world. We are working with them alot and we know that the spirit is going to lead them to the water. We did have a miracle baptism for our friends Lilian and Leo. Last week one of the Spanish missionaries here in staten met them on the street and referred us to them and we gave them a call. They made it to church that sunday but they came after the sacrament so we planned on baptising them on the 24th. The next week we struggled to teach them consistently as she's a busy...

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...
