Hey everyone. Let me give ya’ll a quick update here. I am doin awesome here in theNYC. I have already learned so much for the month that I have been away on my mission. I love the work it is so spiritual. I have found that you have a good day when you go and talk to everyone. I always just walk up to people and ask them what they believe about Jesus Christ and they usually tell me what we believe about him, but we just add to the truths that they already treasure. I always leave my testimony with them that by applying my life to the gospel and by living to all of its teachings that my life has been blessed so much and it has brought so much happiness into my life, and that is why I am here is to bring that same happiness into others lives. Most people think that they are already happy, but they don’t understand the meaning of eternal happiness and the fullness of the gospel. We committed another person to baptism this week. Right now we have 4 investigators with baptismal dates when I got here we only had one. So right now we are on fire. I thank God for the success that we are having. God only sends his prepared servants to his prepared sons and daughters. So that is why I must always stay obedient so that the spirit can be given in my teachings. It isn’t me or my companion that converts people. It is only the spirit that can convert people. We have seen some crazy things we saw a guy passed out on the side of the street with blood pouring out of his head, and his pants were down past his knees we called 911 and the ambulance came as well as the Fire trucks and all that. It was and old man who was drunk and he has a cane and it looked like he was trying to pick his pants up and he fell face first and it just knocked him out cold. It was sad. We are doing so good though I love the area that I am in right now part of my area goes right up to the water with a perfect view of Manhattan. I am sending my mom a CD with all of my pictures on it so you all should see if somehow you can get some pictures from her or my sister. I miss you all, but I would never give this time that I am giving to the Lord for anything else. I can honestly feel the person that I am developing into and I love what I am feeling.. I only have 5 minutes left on the computer so I have to wrap it up, but I have a lot more that I want to say. I really love this work and all of the great things I am doing. The other day we went around the city and cleaned up a ton of graffiti. Well I have to go now I love you all. Until next week!
