Week 1 in new roc

WOW, THIS AREA IS AWEOME!! After one week of being here I absolutely
love it. Our area covers New Rochelle, Mamaroneck and Port Chester, we
do most of our work in Port Chester but we also have some people we
visit in New Rochelle and I haven't even stepped foot in Mamaroneck
but this week was awesome, we have a lot of work to do here and a lot
of people to teach, I'm still learning all the names of everybody and
still haven't seen everybody yet but the people that I have seen are
awesome, we have 5 people with a baptismal date right now and 2 of the
people were gonna get baptized this weekend but we have general
conference so that will have to be moved to the next next sunday(we
have baptisms on Sunday here)

Speaking of Sunday yesterday we had a good turnout at church we had
like 7 investigators at church and a total of about 90 people, so it's
not that a bad compared to other wards and branches. So the week
before I got here there was a baptism of a lady named Luz, and since
baptisms are on Sunday it means that she wasn't gonna get confirmed a
member until this Sunday, well out of know where she calls us Saturday
night saying that she found a job(she didn't have a job before but was
looking for one) and they are making her work this Sunday, we talked
to her for a little bit and told her to trust God and tell them that
she can't work this Sunday but after we said that she never replied,
BONES! And she can't get confirmed this Sunday because it's general
conference so I guess it will be in 2 more weeks if we can do that.

In this area we have Spanish and Portuguese investigators and members
so we also have to speak in Portuguese and that's always fun, I pretty
much just speak Spanish because I don't know how to speak Portuguese
and they speak back in Portuguese so it's a little bit weird but the
languages are very similar so we can understand then and they
understand us also elder Frei knows a few sentences.

That's about it,

Love
Elder Pugmire
