Baptism this Sunday!

Hello,

Don't have much to report on this week except that Rosi had her
baptismal interview on Sundays and she passed! That means we are
having a baptism this Sunday so we have to make sure everything is
ready for that. Yes! Elder Frei will baptize her and then in 2 weeks I
will confirm her a member.

Jorge will ni be baptized this Sunday because he was not able to get
to church because if his work but we hope he gets baptized in the next
couple of weeks. I'm pretty sure he will.

It's been a while since we got a solid new investigator so we are
probably gonna do some tracting this week so that should be fun.

Have a good week.

Love
Elder pugmire

Pretty Good Week!

Hello,

We had a pretty good week this week, investigators are still pretty
much the same, we visited Jorge Guevara 2 times this week and both
times were good visits, the first time we visited him was at his work,
after we taught him he got us pizza because he makes pizzas for a
living, it was good. Usually jorge has every other Sunday off and he
has Monday's off, so we also visited him on Monday and went over the
baptismal interview questions with him, he still needs to work on some
somethings so during the week his wife will help him because he
doesn't get of work until late so we can't, also we ended up pushing
his baptism a week later so it will be on the 4th now.

Later that night we had a miracle, we were in a lesson and the phone
stated buzzing so I looked at it and it was a message from Johanna
Jorge's wife and she told us that Cindy their daughter wants to get
baptized now, she had a baptismal date before but she told us she
didn't want to anymore but now I guess she changed and want to get
baptized on June 25th.

Rosi is still doing good.

We had stake conference this last Sunday it was in the kingsbridge
building in the Bronx so I was able to see people from kingsbridge,
westchester 3 branch and from olmested so that was a lot of fun
talking with them.

Hola y'all have a great week

Pray for Rosi

Hello family,

It was great to see and talk to everybody on Mother's Day, well almost
everybody. The past couple of days have been good, on Monday we were
able to see Jorge the Salvadorian man that we teach and he is still
progressing and still wants to get baptized, we taught him about the
prophets and the word of wisdom and he seems to be doing great with
it. The problem with Jorge is that he doesn't know how to read so it
will be harder for him to gain an testimony of the Book of Mormon but
he is doing his best to understand it when his wife reads it to him
and he has a baptismal date for the 28th of may.

Yesterday was also a pretty good day, we started out with a zone
conference and that took up about 8 hours of the day and it was a long
8 hours, I feel like at this point of the mission there is so much
that they can teach you or say that you already didn't hear and I'm
not saying that I know everything but it was pretty similar to some
other zone conferences we had in the past but still it was good
because there are other missionaries that haven't heard it.

We also were able to see Rosi our other person we teach with a
baptismal date and she is doing ok, she read a conference talk we gave
her and liked that but she is having a hard time with the Book of
Mormon reading and she still has doubts about some things, Rosi
changes her mind a lot one day she will tell us that she wants to get
baptize they we are like that's great and other days she just tells us
no I don't feel ready or something like that, as of right now she has
a baptismal date for June 4 so we will see how this goes with her, we
think that everything will be cleared up with her and she will get
baptized by that time.

Right now we are on our way to the city because my comp is going to
see Wiked the broadway show, I can't go so I will be on a split with
somebody else I am not sure who yet.

Have a great day!

Love,
Elder pugmire

Newroch✈️portchester

Hello again everybody, your probably wondering why I am writing this
on Wednesday and that is because our pday got changes to Wednesday's
again, I'm not exactly sure why.

We had a pretty normal week, we are still visiting a ton of people and
teaching a ton of lesson but I think that right now for some reason
non of our people are progressing that much, they like what we teach
them and they even come to church on Sundays it's just that they don't
put the effort into praying and reading as much. Maybe we need to do
something differently to help them out, o think that we can come up
with something.

We did get dropped by one of our people with a baptismal date, well we
didn't get dropped but she just said that she doesn't wanna get
baptized anymore because she has had some experiences in her life that
make it so she doesn't wanna get baptized right now but she still come
to church so not all hope is lost.

We did some service as well, like always we were at the Calderon
cleaning up their house but we also helped out a recent convert Luz
move out and this came out of nowhere, she just calls us begging us to
help her move out before the new month because she has no money to pay
rent so we pretty much put everything on hold to help her out because
nobody else was able to help her and so me and elder Frei moved this
lady from one house to another in a little tiny Suburu, exactly how we
did it I am not sure because she had a huge bed and a dresser but we
made it work and Luz seems to be doing ok for now.

We had transfer calls and I am staying here with elder Frei until he
finishes his mission, he only has 1 transfer left, serving with him
has been super chill, he kinda reminds me of erik.

Ok pues hasta luego✌🏽

Love,
Elder Pugmire
