Pace 9:3






Usually my emails make no sense so today i thought i would give u guys a fur real update for my fur real friends back at home. 


Today is Tuesday but it's my pday since I am going to the temple with some of our newly baptized friends! We have been making an extra focus on helping them continue in their conversion process and it's been awesome! I will make sure I add some pictures. After the temple we will be going to the natural history museum. I've been there already but it will still be fun... I guess

The work hasn't been progressing quite the same as it was last transfer so we have been doing a lot of finding new friends to teach but this week will be a great week! 

My trainee Elder Hansen is an absolute DOG 🐕 I always wanted a son but sometimes being a parent ia stressful! I just hope I'm raising him right. 

I started wearing my companions glasses because I wanted to and now I'm looking fierce as ever! But since I got my haircut yesterday I didn't like the way it looked as much so I will wait until my hair grows back out 

I guess this update hasn't been as different as I thought it would be. I will try and add some pictures 

Spiritual thought
One of my favorite one liners in the Book of Mormon is from 1 Nephi 9:6 Nephi closes this chapter saying "And thus it is. Amen" For some reason that is so powerful to me. The things we read in the Book of Mormon aren't just something made up. This stuff really happened. God really is our Heavenly Father and he really did send Jesus Christ to pay the price for our sins! Joseph Smith was called by God to restore Jesus Christ's perfect church to the earth! It's true no matter how many people reject it or cuss us out. It's simply true. And thus it is. Amen

(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!!
