Flag Day? Heck yes!
Flag day, probably my favorite holiday of the year because its just insignificant enough to not shut down the library, :) Any day when the library is open is a good day en mi libro. verdad.
Well this was another amazing week, which I think makes about 90 or so in a row, so things out here in new york are about perfect. We were able to meet with alot of the people we meet with and meet last week, and we were also able to start teaching a load of new people too. its pretty awesome.
Highlights of the week:
Tuesday morning I got interviewed by the newspaper columnist, and it was a way cool experience. She was way nice, and hopefully when the article comes out it will spread the word about the church around the island to way more people then we could knocking doors all day. The photographer from the paper is coming tomorrow to take pictures of while we're doing service at a food pantry. It should be good advertising for the food pantry too, a nice bonus. I will let you know more by next week.
On Wednesday, we had a meeting with the head of the missionary department of the church, Stephen Allen. I had spoken to brother allen 4 or 5 times while i was in the MTC because our district got to know him pretty well, so it was good to see him 2 years later. He told us(and hopefully he doesnt tell everyone this) that New York City is one of the most prepared places on earth for the gospel, and specifically Queens, and Jamaica. It was cool to hear that from someone who works with missionaries all day, everyday. I can tell ya though, jamaica is filled with the most prepared people I have ever seen. Its an amazing place.
On Friday we traded in our 06 gold Toyota Corolla with some missionaries on long island for a 09 gold Toyota Corolla. Its sooo sweet, and we have named the car Funrolla II, after its father, Funrolla I. Its a nice car for sure, and makes driving around this island way nice.
Saturday was a busy day of running around teaching lessons and getting feed by investigators. We ran into the subway miracle lady again that day, it was soo cool. Miracles are still happening these days.
now for Q's and A's:
1. How are you and how was your week?
2. How are your amazing investigators doing and progressing? soo goood, and they are all progressing pretty well. Vicky and Carson have become super busy this last week, but we are going to be over there tonight, so things will go well.
3. Have you seen the “Subway Miracle” gal again? YES, she is the coolest lady. We also started teaching another sweet family who knows the bishop and his family. They are sweet, and we are going over again on wednesday, :)
4. What did you learn this week about prayer? Prayer is the key to the door of answers. ask and ye shall recieve, so true.
5. Is this the week of the Newspaper interviews? last week was, but the pictures are this week.
6. Anything we can do for you? Nope, I am completly perfect. :)
It hit me this week the magnitude of knowing this church is true, and knowing about the book of mormon. We were walking around the ferry when i saw a guy who just seemed like i should talk to him. I asked him if i could give him a bomo pass along card, then I told him that God revealed his gospel to people in the america's thousands of years ago as he did in the bible. His reaction caught me off gaurd, and made me laugh. He looked at me and said, "Wow, thats amazing! How do I get one of these?" haha, we got his address and are stopping by wednesday morning.
This island is amazing, but the best part about the church is, its true wherever you are. I love y'all, and stay classy this week, and ricky, no more kidney stones.
