wow!
i dont know if im allowed to start off my letter with wow, but im doing it. its just a wow kind of week. Im so excited about everything going on around me, its just so... wow!
first off, happy anniversary to mom and dad! 30 years is a looooong time, so congrats on that!
now to the work in brooklyn, ny!
so some things have slowed down: Johan, and other Russians, but there is some awesome news, and his name is Greg! Greg is a native brooklyner, and has been to church a couple times now, and wants to get baptized. He has quit smoking, and believes the book of mormon is the word of God. He is reading it as fast as he can, because he is loving it so much. We are meeting with him on wednesday with one of the young men in the ward, and we will set a baptismal date for him, and so he will probably be ready by junish! soooo awesome!
we also are working with alex who was at church again, and loves the spirit he feels, and wants to learn more. We got to go work with a less active named miguel who hasnt been to church in a long long time. His son, miguel jr. wants to be baptized, and he wants to get worthy to baptize him, so things here are pretty amazing!
On a sadder note, this is elder howells last week in bensonhurst which stinks, but he is excited to see a new part of the mission.
i feel like im using alot of '!'s but its just because im way excited to be a missionary.
now for the weekly Q's and A's
