Hello,
I can't think of a very good intro to start out with so I'm just gonna
start writing about the week.
Last Wednesday we bought tickets online to tour the Yankees stadium. I
was super excited to go because I wanted to go on the field and the
locker room and to all those good places but we didn't go to any of
them. The reason we didn't go on the field is because they were making
it into the football field for the pinstripe bowl and I don't know why
we didn't go to the locker rooms. We only went to the Yankees museum
and that was pretty cool they had a bunch of trophies and rings and
old jersey for famous players. The second place we went to was the
monument park which was also pretty cool and we finished with the
press box. It was kinda fun but defiantly not worth 23 bucks.
We came home did the laundry and bought food and played monopoly for
the rest of the p-day. I wish I knew how to play monopoly before the
mission because it is really fun. For me at least.
Thursday is weekly planning day, so we were sitting and planning and
out of nowhere our phone rings and it was president. We got a little
scared because president doesn't really call us unless we do something
bad or he need us to do something, so we answered the phone and he
just pretty much tells us that he has been thinking of us and wants to
make sure that everything was ok. Everything was good and so we just
continued planning.
That night before we were leavings he apartment to go out and work I
was checking the weather and it said that there was 100% chance of
rain. I don't know what we were thinking but we didn't bring
umbrellas, it didn't rain at first when we went to visit a lady but
then after we came out we were gonna take a bus but we just missed it
and the next bus was like 30 minutes away, we were about a mile away
from our apartment so we decided to walk and as soon as we started to
walk the rain just started to pour super hard. After a few minutes we
were all soaked and we didn't care anymore that it was raining. When
got home there were puddles of water everywhere.
Friday we had a ward party thanksgiving party and that was a lot of
fun. There was a whole bunch of food because pretty much every single
person brought a gigantic plate or a pot of something.
I don't really remember what we did Saturday.
Sunday we had the stake presidency come to our ward and one of them
didn't know how to speak Spanish so he gave his talk in English and
there was another guy translating. It was the first time in a long
time that I actually understood everything what the speaker was saying
to the congregation. It was great!
Monday we had a lesson with a guy named Matt we tracted into him. He
is catholic but is open to other religions and so we taught him the
restoration and the Book of Mormon a he said that he would read a
little bit before we can meet with him next Saturday. The next day he
calls us and he tells us that he read the whole 1st nephi and he wants
to keep reading because he loves it. We were really excited that he
had read that much and we can't wait to meet with him this upcoming
Saturday.
After the lesson we had a lot of time to tract and we tracted into a
lady, she opened the door and told us that she was very Catholic and
that she doesn't want to change religions, but we talked to her for a
little longer and then we were gonna leave but she invited us to come
over to her house on thanksgiving, I was a little surprised but didn't
say anything because it would be a great teaching opportunity and also
our 5th food appointment for thanksgiving.
Tuesday we had a few lesson but after our second to last lesson I
started to have a really bad headache, I thought I could wait it out
and let it pass by but in the middle of our last lesson I honestly
thought I was gonna throw up on the people because I just felt super
sick. The lesson turned out to be really good and nobody got thrown up
on. We came home at around 9:30 and I just went straight to sleep and
this morning I felt great again.
This is all I got, I hope that everybody has a great week and a
wonderful thanksgiving!
Love,
Elder Pugmire
