My goodness, this week has been an interesting one. I have learned a
lot about myself this week. I am really enjoying serving in the
Plainview ward! It is going to be a sad day when I get transferred
from here. I love the people here so much.
So, here is the rundown of my super hectic week :)
Monday
About two weeks ago, we knocked into Brian. We taught him the
Restoration and left him with a Book of Mormon. He agreed with
everything we talked about and said he would really like to read the
book. Since he has some medical things he has to take care of
regularly, he asked us to come back in two weeks. We came back
(Monday) and he had read the entire Book of Mormon, prayed about it,
and believes that it is true! Due to his medical stuff, he can only
come to church every other week. He will be at church this coming
Sunday. Super cool guy!
Tuesday
Not much really happened. Super strong spirit in district meeting,
though, while everyone took a turn explaining why they came on a
mission.
Wednesday
This was the day where the week took an interesting turn. We visited
Gary, Dio, Sister Macagnone in the hospital, and the Mansuetto's for
lunch. Elder Flora has been having a rough time and has some family
problems at home. He decided that he needs to go home, so President
got him a plane ticket for Thursday... I texted the District and asked
them to meet us at the church to say goodbye to Elder Flora. President
called me Wednesday night and informed me that I will be moved into a
trio with Elder McCleary and Elder Casares. Crazy!
Thursday
Elder Flora and I went to Rego, Queens in the morning to meet
President and Sister Reynolds to go to the airport. It was sad to see
Elder Flora go, but I know he needs to be apart of what is happening
at home. President took me to the mission home where Elder McCleary
and Elder Casares picked me up. We immediately went out to teach a few
lessons we had planned for that day. They didn't have a bed for me yet
at their apartment, so I spent the night on the floor haha :)
Friday-Sunday
Busy, Busy, Busy! I love being busy! Since we had to combine both
teaching pools in the area, we have been teaching so many lessons. We
have to drive A LOT because we now cover the entire area instead of
splitting the area between two companionship. On Saturday, we moved
all the rest of my stuff from my apartment in Melville to their
apartment in Levittown. It is much smaller, but we are still alive
haha. Richard & Renanta are doing so well! They love the gospel so
much and are already experiencing so many miracles in their lives. I
can literally see a difference in them from the first time I met them.
They are so much happier!
That's about it for this week. The trio is a lot of fun, but is still
taking some getting used to. I am so grateful for this gospel and the
knowledge that we have a Father in Heaven who loves us and knows us
perfectly! I love you all and hope that you have had an amazing week!
Love ya!
