Letter #4 Great week!

Dear Mother and Father!!

 

This week wasnt to bad! We got a big list of all the members and non active members in our area and we called all of them and tried to set up a apointment with them. Some came through and some juked us!! Dont worry me and jesus are working on them! haha But me and my chocolate companion walked a lot this week. We get bored walking around so we play games while walking to our other apointments. The trash game is a classic where we kick a coke bottle or a vodka bottle :) that some hobo left on the ground and kick it back and forth, but my favorite is my companion taught me how to beat box hahahaha can you imagine my red headed butt beat boxing its awesome..well he is super good at rapping ...of course he is black! so i beat box and he rapes about our day its pretty legit! But on Friday we went and taught a girl names Santina! she is way cool. She has two boys who are 4 and 7 she got divorced after 14 years which would be crazy hard. But she just wants the best for her boys and she is a way good mom! She has been taught before by missionaries but they just gave her a book of mormon. But me and the chocolate man taught her about the gospel of J.C. And that went way good so about half way the spirit was way strong and Jesus pretty much told me to invite her to get baptized....so i did!! And she said yes! it was pretty sweet! we also invited her to come to church but she flaked on us. So hopfully she is serious about this and we will get to see her this friday. But thats the only new investigator we have this week. Its starting to get warmer here so thats always nice! But NJ is just like Cedar......bi-polar the other day its was a blizzard and the next it was 60! Well I didnt have to say the prayer this sunday but my MTC companion did HA!! People didnt set there clocks so half the ward showed up at like 45 after! But thats about all for this week. Oh And last p day we drove up and played b-ball with Colby! it was way good to see him. But his area is way nice only saw like 4 black people it was a whole new world but i could for sure live there! And i saw my first Ferrari dealership in Morristown! ive decided im going to go test drive one some day while im here! haha love ya!

Weekly update #3 March 4, 2013 (This one makes me laugh!)

what up ma and paps!

 

This week has been a lot better. We have moved 2 people into new places this week so it was really nice getting to just dress in our street close and do some work. Also the teaching has picked up. Its a lot different then i expected. I figured we just focused on getting people into the church. But we also work hard on people that have fallen away from the church. Which is nice to go talk to them cause they know what we are talking about and so all we do is try to boost up their faith and testimonies so its a lot easier. And usually i can relate to them so thats nice to. But im starting to learn a lot more about the scriptures which is nice cause before i didnt know jack! but im getting there. But i got to tell you about a member that we went and saw. His name is Akoto. ya goofy names over here! But he lives in a apartment building and we knew from the beginning that he had a mice problem but this time was nasty. We went over to teach him a quick lesson like we always do everyweek. Well as i was getting my scriptures i looked over and a mouse ran across the floor and my chocolate companion just about soiled his pants! haha he hates them he act just like the black people in the movies its funny! But after the lesson Akoto asked us to move some suit cases in a closet for him so, not looking forward to this we did. So we went in his room and grabbed a suit case and the one i got had mice crap allll over it! It was horrible and not to mention the fact he hasn't opened these in 5 years ya my companion about lost it after hearing that! But there was mice crap alllll over the floor underneath the suit cases! it was horrible! But that was my nasty story for the week. haha i figured you would enjoy it!. But other then that we have just been teaching members Frances and Kou Dou Gou haven't really showed much interest we call them a lot but nothing happens. But yesterday was fast and testimony day and guess who had to say the prayer AGAIN! YES me the red head! these people need to learn how to set sacrement up! but its all good i also bore my testimony so that was cool but i was soiling my pants the whole time so i will need some new Jesus Jammies! hahaha jk jk! Well thats about it for the week im still white and my companion is still black so thats about it! :) The days are going a lot faster so thats nice cause i sleep like a champ at night. but love ya tell everyone hi for me!
