Pace 2:1

 









Ahhhh Goo Lagoon,


It's been another fantabulistic week! Ima get right into it this week since right now I'm on the train heading to Chinatown🥢🍜🐲  
Monday: last day with my father (trainer)😭 Went to the top of the Rock 🤘🪨🎸
Tuesday: transfers, got a step dad 
Wednesday-Saturday: on the grind
Sunday: Chris got baptized!!!! When he came up out of the water he said "Wahooo!"Later he said "Jesus has always been my homeboy bit now I have the holy ghost too" and he said he "felt like a million bucks" It was a really awesome baptism!

Stay classy San Diego

address:  250 W 85th St Apt #12C
New York, NY 10024-3222

NOTE:  I asked him about his numbering system for his email titles.  It's about his companions.  This is his first email since his second companion.  Brilliant!

Chris is the friend with all the bunnies.  

The "Rock" is the top of the Rockefeller Center (he said it cost $40 to take the elevator to the top!) 

Chinatown was a let down...not much to see other than a few lanterns.  The district ate there today (also pricey for fried rice with shrimp, ham and beef)

His new companion is Elder Golightly from Gilbert, AZ.  He was also a cross-country runner and went to a high school Justin ran against so they most likely competed against each other.

(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!!
