Pace 1:3









 

Yo,


Alot happened this week so I'm gonna try and hit the highlights from each day so I don't forget anything. Before I start this week I forgot to mention that while I was on the plane to New York the main actor in the RM (a movie about a missionary) was on my plane, ironic, so I got a Pic with him. 

Ok so now we're at Monday. For my first pday in the field me and some other elders went and balled up at the church 🏀. Tuesday I don't remember. Wednesday I have no idea. Dang this ain't working,I don't remember when I did what. So here's the rest of the weeks highlights. 

I saw Time Square (we aren't aloud to go in but I could see it) BIG disappointment 😞 the ball looks so big in that one episode of Jesse but I looked up and there was a poster of Clifford the Big Red dog that was 50x bigger 🤔 I forgot to take a picture of that so I'll add that in one of my emails when I do. 

Also the New York City marathon was this Sunday plus it was the 50th anniversary so it was this huge deal and it finished in Central park right by the church so we got to go and cheer some people on. 

Also we went to dinner at one of the members house this week and they have the cutest family and the little four year old daughter drew a picture of me and my companion. It was pretty impressive. Plus it was my neice's birthday this week. Bemmy just turned 3!!🥳 I'm told she had a piggy party🐷 wish I could've been there. 

I had my first zone conference which is where all the missionaries in our area get together and we hear from our mission president and his wife and a few other people but it's like an all day thing so they fed us and since it's November they gave us like a nice Thanksgiving feast 😋🤤. 

Also I just went to see the Statue of Liberty which was fire 🔥🔥🗽. Hot dang! I think that's about all for this week so I guess there wasn't as much to say as I thought but I'll end the letter off with a thought I heard In church on Sunday. 

A woman who was speaking said that sometimes as she walks around her block she likes to listen in on some of the conversations going on around her, which I think is hilarious, and as she was listening she heard a mother ask her daughter this question. Have you ever seen a bird with an ulcer?🤨 (huh) Naturally she was interested and a bit confused so she followed this mother and daughter and listened to the rest of the convo. The mother explained to the daughter that you won't ever see a bird with an ulcer because birds don't worry. But even though they don't worry, God provides them with everything they need. So she explained to her daughter that we worry too much. People worry too much about things that don't matter and we need to trust in God and that he will provide for us. It reminded me of a scripture in Proverbs 3:5-6 that says "trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path" 

Until next time my little angels 😇😘 Elder Pace us lunch and since it's November they gave us

(I somehow missed this email so it is out of order!) We had transfers again. I am now in the Bronx. It is the best area in NYC by far. So blessed! All the fire hydrants here are broken and spew out water 24/7. There is a great deli right next to our church building so I'm gonna be fat. There is also a new drink there that is my favorite. People here are super humble and prepared by God. Should have some baptisms coming up. There are a lot of street vendors here selling a bunch of cheap fake stuff so that could be cool. One of the missionaries has a pickle ball net so we will be playing that on Mondays. My apartment has a washer and dryer. There is also a lot of places in the city where you can get big slices of pizza for a dollar. My comp is from Surprise Arizona. We went to a members house the last day I was in Long Island and she made us a cake and had lots of balloons and she won't leave Ashlyn alone on Facebook Bye Bye

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!!
