So this week has been pretty fun. We started out the week with a
family home evening with the sister missionaries and we visited this
one recent convert with her 3 kids, the reason we were with the sister
missionaries is because this recent convert lives in Hunts Point and
the sun was already down and the sister can't go into hunts point
after dark so we had to like escort them and stuff, I didn't really
like doing the escorting part of the FHE but the actual FHE was really
fun and the family that we visited is really cool. It was my first
time that we did that this past cycle, apparently the missionaries
have been doing this every week before I got here.
So on Tuesday we had a lesson with Harold our most progressing
investigator, we had a lesson on the law of chastity with him and at
the end of the lesson we invited him to live the law of chastity and
he just straight up said "no I cannot live this law, I will live any
other law except for this one" even after clarifying all the blessing
that he could relieve form this law he still said no.... oh well at
least he is honest about it. So we decided to cut down on the visits
with him and only visit him one time a week instead of 2, hopefully in
the future he decides to change.
We were going through area book and calling random people to see if we
can get somebody to answer the phone, after making a lot of calls only
one person answer and she told us that we could stop by, so the next
day we went over and it's this one lady with her son and her
boyfriend, this lady was contacted about a year ago in Manhattan and
some missionaries helped her find Victoria's Secret and she really
liked them but lost contact with them after a while, so she was just
sitting in the area book. So we went over to their house and we taught
them the restoration, the wife really liked it mainly because she
didn't know too much about Christ or anything that happened to him so
pretty much everything we talked about was completely new to her, the
husband was less interested because he has always grown up with the
church and is catholic I think but he expressed some interest, so they
are pretty cool, we actually, had to pass them off to the English
elder because they preferred to speak English so hopefully everything
goes well with them.
We also started to teach this one kid named Jeyuri he is only 12 but
he is way awesome, he is a son of the sisters investigator, for some
reason the sister have been teaching Nani the mom but never taught the
kid so we hopped on it, so far we taught him just the restoration and
he accepted to be baptized when he knows that the church is true, so
next time we meet with him we will set a date. We were also able to
take him to a devotional yesterday in Manhattan, it was really good,
the person who spoke was Stephanie Nielsen and her husband, they are
the people who got into a really bad plane crash and got injured
really bad, both of them shared their stories and their experiences,
it was a really cool devotional, I think elder Holland talked about
her in one of the conferences.
We also had a snow storm this week, I forgot what day it was on but
the wind was blowing like crazy, I think it was like 30 mph or
something like that and there was snow everywhere and it was blowing
around, that day was really freezing but after that day thing went
back to normal, a couple days after the storm there was a lot of slush
on the ground and by now we hardly have any snow or slush on the
ground it all pretty much dried up.
