Transfer

Hola todos los personas, 



It has been a couple weeks. I had transfers last week. I am staying in Far Rockaway but am opening a new area. I am moving out of my current apartment and moving into a new one not far away.  



A really interesting thing happened a couple weeks ago. We were at church at our small branch. If you remember we meet in a rented room on the 5th floor of a building in Far Rockaway. In comes the Presiding Bishop Gerald Causse and his counselors. They spoke at our sacrament meeting. The counselors spoke about the truthfulness of the Gospel. Bishop Causse spoke about how he has always been the happiest in his life when he has the companionship of the Holy Ghost. It was really neat to get to meet with him and his counselors after the meeting. Crazy they would just show up to a small branch in little Far Rockaway.  



I have been working with a family from Peru. The entire family was going to be baptized the Saturday after I left. Because I was so close, I was able to attend the baptism. The husband was not baptized, but he is close and a I think he will be baptized soon. My weeks of doing missionary work are a lot of the same thing everyday. We go out into the streets and just talk to everyone and invite everyone to church. We do get rejected quit often, but we do find those who are ready to hear about the Restored Church and accept our invitation.  



The weather is starting to get cold. The day time highs are only only in the low 40’s now. I have had to dig out my sweaters and coat.  



Thank you all for your love and support. Your prayers are felt. I know this work is the Lord’s work and I am honored to be able to be a part of the gathering of the elect. I know this Church is the only true Church on earth.

Greeting from the Bronx. It has been a busy couple weeks. I am starting to get use to the area. The hardest thing to get use to is how there are pockets of people. In Flushing it was mostly Chinese people. The Bronx is mostly Dominicans. It is really interesting how people gather in pockets to different boroughs. I have been on a few travels the last few weeks. I spent some time in Manhattan last week and today I went to a Yankees game. The missionaries here are treated well. The Spanish people are glad to hear about the Gospel. I would explain it as, they love God and are glad to hear more about Christ. It’s the commitment that is the struggle. They make a lot of excuses like, it’s ok, I have Jesus in my heart.  The missionary work here is the same as my other areas. We do all street contacts. We work in the areas of the apartment buildings mostly. We do spend some time near stores or parks, where ever we can find the most people. We had a media referral come in from one of the Ch...

Hola from the Bronx. It’s been a few weeks. All is going well. I just wanted to check in where it’s been a while. There is honestly nothing new or too excited going on here. We did have a baptism last Sunday which is awesome. It was Sister Yudelky I talked about in my last email who was sick and postponed her baptism. We were able to get it scheduled and taken care of (picture below). We have been doing more street contacting and have a couple people who I believe will get baptized in the next week or two. I have faith we will keep finding people who are ready. Weather here has cooled a little. The highs are in the 80’s which makes it a lot more pleasant to be on the streets. We have had a few rainy days lately. Having said the weather isn’t to bad, the Bronx is still not the place to visit or plan a vacation. I have been studying how everything testifies of God. I have been more mindful of how even the ability, knowledge and material to build such big buildings came from God. It is am...

Last Transfer

Image
Hola everyone. All is well in the Bronx. Having said that I’m in the Bronx, means I stayed here for my last transfer. It is crazy to think I am in last area. Remember though, I am staying two extra weeks. I don’t know if I will move my last two weeks for a trio. I guess I could have one two week transfer, but officially this is my last. We had a mission tour last week. This is when a General Authority comes and tours the mission, gives devotionals and meets the missionaries. Elder and Sister Daines from the Seventy came and gave two separate devotionals because of the size of the mission. Elder Daines spoke about covenants and baptism. He focused on teaching how the Savior would. It was good to remember and refocus on why we are missionaries. I have zone conference this week and I get to hear from President and Sister Taylor. This is the second zone conference since they have come into the mission. We are teaching two people who are looking good for baptism this week. Nuris from the Do...
