This week has been pretty busy! However, most of it isn't really email worthy, so I am just going to write the interesting stuff :)
We taught about 4-5 lessons a day this week, so we have been running, well...driving, all over our area! It is so much fun, though :) My mind is a
little all over the place today, so forgive me for the scatter-brained
nature of this email.
GUESS WHAT!! We have a mission-wide conference this coming up Sunday
in Woodside, Queens. There has been a lot of talk/gossip about what
the meeting is for. I am about 98.2% convinced that Elder Jeffrey R. Holland is
coming to speak to the mission!!!! AHHHH!! How exciting is
that?????????? I am pretty excited!
So, now for the weird stuff... hahaha almost everyone we have talked
to this week has mentioned something about this. There are people
dressing up as clowns trying to scare the living daylights out of
everyone. They are carrying weapons and scaring small children as well
as large and not-so-large adults. I haven't seen any, but it sounds
really creepy... so, here is the creepiest/scariest part... here, on
the island, in Suffolk County, (Suffolk County covers half of my area
and the eastern part of Long Island) one of said clowns killed a small
child! Ah! Not cool! Everyone here is now afraid of clowns... it's
very creepy.
Alright, new story! So, we were on our way to visit Chris and Nadia at the Budget Inn. We texted and asked if we could come over, but Chris said he was at King Kullen and we could meet him there. We were already parked at the Budget Inn, so we decided to make the mile and a half hike down to the grocery store to meet Chris half way. On the way there, we ran into a friendly black couple, Darrell & Tamika. We gave them our card and told them to call us if they are further interested in our message. We walked on, found Chris, and walked back. When we got to the Budget Inn, we saw Darrell & Tamika. Turns out, they live there too! We gave them a Restoration pamphlet to read. They then went over to the nearby picnic table and began reading. We finished up with Chris, and went over to Darrell & Tamika to teach them the Restoration. The spirit was strong as we taught, and they understood everything very well. We gave them both a Book of Mormon and invited them to be baptized. They both eagerly said YES!!!! We went back the next day, and they agreed to be baptized on November 12! Yay!

Nicole came to church for the first time yesterday! It was Fast & Testimony meeting, so the spirit was extra strong as the members went up to the pulpit to bear their testimonies. Nicole absolutely loved church, and agreed to come back as much as she could.
Do you remember Brother Mansuetto? He has been in the hospital since July 19th! He finally was able to come home yesterday! We have been doing service at their house for a few weeks now, so we have come to know the Mansuetto's pretty well! They are the best!
Alright, that's about it! I hope you all have an amazing week! Love you all!
