Justin Pace the NYC Missionary

 

  They serve in a SA ward....Sunday they were fed dinner.  A boyfriend was there but I don't see him (probably taking the picture).  Their apartment was awesome....Rooftop view of Empire State Building Their church is in a multi-level building but there is no cultural hall.  They do have this basketball court behind the church. new companion is from Utah I haven't written a letter in a while simply because I don't enjoy it. But I will write one today for my posterity  I am living in Manhattan again. Laundry here is expensive. I am broke. We had a good week alot of cool friends we are teaching. One of our friends is planning on getting baptized this Friday.  We had zone conference this last week and talked alot about the gathering of Israel and the Abrahamic covenant and Jacob 5. It was fire   learned much Listened to a talk the other night and he said that most of the time the problem is not closing the gap between our actions and our beliefs, but...

Editor's note:  Justin sent this last Monday but I forgot to send it out!!!  Ooops!!  And he was so obedient too!! So I am writing this because i love my mom and she said I had to for Valentine's Day. Anyways I'm not sure when the last time I wrote an email is so we are still working with Milagros our Burger Queen. We also met a cool Haitian guy who came to church and he is awesome. We are also teaching another lady named Christine who is awesome. It has been a really warm winter in New York. Like record breaking. We haven't had any snowfall. I'm not mad. We drive out here where I am and we have to take our car into the shop. I heard about KD going to the suns and I can't wait to watch it. Also I am having alot of fun. I am waiting for some of my recent converts to reach a year so that I can go to the temple with them for their first endowment. I really have to go tho. It's nerf or nothin

No letter today but he sent these two pictures. Eating with a member (can’t tell what the food was) and before he left the Bronx.  This is the mission leader of the Spanish ward but Justin really liked him.  He said he was awesome!   Justin has said he’s gaining weight and I can see some extra fluff around the middle in this picture.  He eats a lot of sandwiches.  He says they are cheap!  They don’t often eat at members which is what he prefers.  He says a lot of time is wasted eating with members.  He’s got work to do!!

Lynbrook has been fun! I've laughed, I've cried. Just kidding I don't cry because I'm a man. We play alot of nerf here so watch out when I get back. Anyways I've recently taken a challenge from momma to teach her the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It's helped me to look back on what I've learned.  Also this past transfer I've been District leader here in Lynbrook and it's super stressful.  The work here is slower than it was in the Bronx but there are still some super cool people out here. Right now we are teaching this one older lady. Her name is Milagros. She definitely was a miracle for sure. We met her 4 weeks ago at Burger King. She was sitting there eating and we invited her to come to church. She said that she went to her own church and maybe she would check it out sometime so we told her we would send her the address but then she wouldn't give us her number. Oh boy we will never see her again. We wrote it down for her and left. Then she walks...

I love babies Anyways I've really been getting into the Christmas mood. I was able to listen to Christmas music this week without getting bullied. I can't wait until everything is decorated and there is snow! As a zone in the Bronx we are studying different aspects of Jesus Christ every day and sharing insights together! Each day a different missionary gets to pick the topic. It has been so amazing and I encourage all of you to implement that it into your families I just took a crispy nap, crispy like poppeye's crispy chicken sammy and it really boosted my mood.  Our friend Lisa was baptized on Saturday. She is so sweet! When we first started talking to her she was going to a different church but when we shared the message of the restoration with her she felt God's love for her so strong and it was over from there. She had been going to church for the longest time simply because she knew it was a commandment from God but she didn't know why. In our last study before...
