Good morning from the BRONX! It's a dazy overcast Wednesday morning- chilly, but not frozen! We have plans to go to the Botanical Gardens and skip over to the Bronx Zoo for a bit today! Get in a little of what's left there before the COLD sets in!!
Such a great week! We had Stake Conference- all of Westchester Stake was there- the Spanish session was at 10:00 am, and it was incredible. Such inspired speakers! The Stake Presidency spoke to us- 2 of the 3 can speak Spanish- and we had translators for the Speakers who could only speak in English. It's so interesting to apply things to your life differently as a Missionary- and to take note of things that I want to remember for after the Mission- especially things talking about families.
After Stake Conference, one of our investigators Justin was baptized! It was such a good day for everyone. Justin and his Mother showed up- they both loved the service and the Baptism- and Justin was glowing throughout the whole thing. It went great! The Spirit was so strong and the two Members who gave talks did SUCH a good job.
Remember Elder PRUE!? Haha He and I were finally reunited yesterday- we went on a companionship exchange and I spent the day with him in his area!! It was so fun- especially to see how much we've grown and changed since we were companions over 6 months ago. Haha reminiscing! We even kept up a tradition we had and got ASIAN food for lunch! We were sitting on a park bench eating it, when I dropped my egg drop soup (ha ha... pun...) and ALL of it spilled on my shoes and all around us- all the pigeons nearby saw and we were suddenly attacked by about A HUNDRED dirty birds trying to eat up the little pieces of egg. We had to flail and try and scare them away- 100 pigeons in mob-mentality is scary, man, they have no fear! FAIL. :)
We all went down to the Temple/Chapel in Mahattan last Friday to get FLU SHOTS! The dreaded flu season is back- every train and bus has at least one big ad about coughing or sneezing into your arm and "giving the flu a hand!" I told them I had an egg allergy when I was younger, and they told me never to ever get a flu shot EVER! Apparently terrible things can happen... So I'm NOT IMMUNE! Haha I wouldn't be anyway.. but I'm EXTRA susceptible! Hand sanitizer= new best friend.
WELL my dears, I'm being kicked off the Laptop.. I wasted a bunch of my time on the computers cuz I'm dumb and accidentally bumped the wireless service button and had to go to customer service and figure out what was going on for 20 minutes! FAil.
I LOVE YOU ALL!
The CHURCH is STILL True! ( I checked the status a few hours ago...)
Be safe! Be healthy! Be sanitized!
AlWAYS,
