Memorially...Its the 5th monday of the month, so besides a combined 3rd hour, we get to questions at the beginning of the letter, so....
Questions for Elder Sky:
1. How are you and how was your last week of May? Im soo good, and the last week has been gorgerous. We had one day that was sooo hot, but it has been amazing.
2. What happened this week that put a smile on your face? We got invited by Carson, vickie's husband(I hope I talked about them last week, if not, let me know) to go to an event called fleet week. They brought like 6 ships into port on staten island so people can come and check them out. Carson is a cop and is friends with the guy who was in charge of bringing all the ships in so we got to be VIPs. There was one coast guard ship, it was 270 feet long, and it was huge. The tour was sweet, but the coolest ship was a 350 foot long naval destroyer. It was ginormous. So coool.
3. Where are you in your Book of Mormon studies and in Preach My Gospel? In the Book Of Mormon Im in 3 Nephi for atleast another week, its soo good. And in PMG, Im all over the place. This week our district meeting was about ch. 8 and ch. 4, so we were studying that alot, way good sections, and very interconnected.
4. Have you heard any more about the newspaper article they wanted to do on Missionaries? Yeah, we are going to be meeting with them in 2 weeks for the article, pretty cool.
5. What is on the horizon for the month of June on Staten Island? Lots of good things. There is a baptism on Saturday of a members husband, Juan Carlo, and he is actually fillipino, chuck. They are way cool. And we should have 3 more baptisms for the rest of June if things work out. This island is great.
6. Anything we can do for you? Nope, I could use about 10 stamps to last the rest of the way home, so that would be amazing.

This was an awesome week here on Staten. We got to go aboard some big boats, get chased by wild turkeys, and see a couple families continue to progress.
One of my favorite parts of the week was yesterday after church. We went and taught Carson and Vickie, and Vickie's brother Mike, the plan of salvation. They loved the lesson, and were so accepting of all of it. They loved the idea that there is a heaven for the richeous, and a heaven for "G's(gangsters) and rappers" haha, Mike is a funny kid. I loved the whole experience. I wish all the lessons we taught went that well.
Other then that, we got to celebrate Elder Oliverson's b-day yesterday, and also welcomed a new missionary to the apartment, Elder Judd from Sandy. He is a super good guy.
Because its memorial day and therefore the libraries are closed, we are once again in the apple store. Its pretty busy today because of the holiday, so we dont have too much time.
I love NY, and the people in this amazing city! its the sweetiest place on earth, and the coolest place you could go on a mission.
