EMAIL: Week 56 - Makeshift Ponchos and Little Froggy

WRITTEN 8/21/17




Hey errbody let me tell you how my week was.

Monday: pday and we just had a bunch of member appointments. 

Tuesday! We were in Newark for majority of the day for zone conference. It was super awesome! Got to see Pres and sister Hess, they gave some great trainings! Later that day we had a few appointments with less actives. Also on the way home I found a little froggy haha it just had rained and they were coming out and jumping all over the sidewalks.

Wednesday we had service and we had an appointment with a less active part member fam. We had English class and we had a ward family home evening activity and the chapel after that. Some members brought tamales for everyone! They were bomb!

Thursday we had a meeting in Morristown for a few hours and then we came back to Perth Amboy. We didn't have a ton of appointments so we did some knocking and we stopped by a lot of people.

Friday we had to do weekly planning and we had an appointment with the luna family. Such an awesome fam. The have 4 sons who are all out of the house already. One of them is in the marines, two are at byu and one is on a mission in the Montreal Canada mission. They get kinda lonely not having their sons home so they have us over once or twice a week:) also there was a huge storm! We took cover at the chapel for a while and did some Facebook proselyting. It was time that we left so we put on some trash bags and went out. Haha we looked soo funny. But by that time all the rain had stopped and there was a double rainbow and the sky was super cool!

Saturday we had a meeting at the church with our ward mission leader. Later we had an appointment with some members. We made mofongo which is a Dominican dish and is sooo delicious! It made out of mashed up fried plátanos and chicharrón (bacon on steroids basically) and yeah it was good. I took the whole plate like I was going to eat it all haha. 

Sunday was great! Our ward mission leader gave a great talk and elder ferolino and I taught elders quorum. We talked about the Book of Mormon and why we need it. A the end we gave fresh off the press Book of Mormons to all the elders for them to write their testimony inside and give them to friends at work. One of the members actually asked for two! Later that day we were just finding. Not a whole lot of luck but we are out doing what we are supposed to and that's what matters!
Hope you all had a great week!
Talk to you next week!


Love,Elder Marz
