EMAIL: WEEK 55 - New Companion

WRITTEN : 8/14/17

Week this week went by really fast, can't believe it's Monday already!?

Well I'll tell you how it went.

Monday was my last day with Elder Sillanpaa. It rained all day so we hung out at the apartment and we went to the chapel for a little bit so members could come by and say their last goodbyes and take photos.

Tuesday we had transfer conference. Said goodbye to elder Sillanpaa and got say goodbye to all the missionaries that went home. A lot of the missionaries that went home are missionaries that I've been around my whole mission. I learned so much from those missionaries and we are going to miss them here! When we got back o Perth Amboy with elder Ferolino we just stopped by most of our members and they were all home so that was sweet! I got to introduce them to elder ferolino.

Wednesday we had district meeting. I'm still district leader and I love it!  My district is a little different this transfer, now I have 1 companionship of sisters!

Thursday was a pretty normal day for us. Not a whole lot happened. We went by some members and our investigators. At the last part of the day we stopped by a family who's from Bolivia and they made some really really good food for us! For those of you who know what empeñadas are these things were like Bolivian empeñadas, super duper good!

Friday I was in Morristown for a leader meeting that took pretty much the entire day. It was with Pres and sister Hess (And yes I still love them! Every time I'm with them I just get a reassuring feeling that know that President Hess was called of God to be here in New Jersey. For the people, for the missionaries, and for many others!). I got to see elder Brooks, that was fun to see him haha, I got a little update on how dover is doing. On the way home we saw a garbage truck with a clown in the back 😬

Saturday we had a meeting in the morning with our ward mission leader and then we had a few appointments with less actives which was really nice. Kinda funny we sorta had our first bible bash with a less active. He has doubts and he doesn't understand why we don't believe in baptizing little children. Anyways after sharing many scriptures out of the Bible and the Book of Mormon it was our time to go and we rescheduled a time for us to discuss this topic some more. So even though it may have seemed like a not so great use of time but actually it was a good use of our time. The Book of Mormon has power! and any opportunity we are given to open it and study it's words we will strengthen our testimony and the Holy Ghost will testify to us that these things are true! Hopefully this less active open his heart and listen to what the Holy Ghost is telling him. There was a Dominican festival that we just passed through on the way home, it was nuts!

Sunday was great. Elder ferolino got to meet some more members. We taught the 12-18 class. We did a Q&A about missions and what they are like. It was awesome to see how many kids want to go on a mission. After church we had a meeting and then appointments with members. We had a class for married couples at 7 so what we did is for the hour right before we stopped by the members homes with invitations to the class and we basically just waited until they were walking out the door to the class. And we had a lot of couples come, it was sooo good! The family starts the parents!

And today we just kinda hung around, did our shopping, got some gainz and that's pretty much it.
Talk to you next week!
