This week has gone by so fast! We get fed by members every night and it's killer. On Sunday there is an organist who is incredible and I seriously ball my eyes out every time he plays. It's so cool we always stand for the last hymn of songs and it's awesome. It was transfers on Tuesday and elder Lesperance and I said goodbye yesterday. My new comp was elder Lesperances first person he had ever trained and I was the last. It's pretty funny. He's a great guy and is an excellent example of charity. Last night we had a good lesson with a less active member names Ivan Garcia. He got baptized around 4 years ago and now has a kid and isn't married and lives with his gf. We set up an appointment to visit with his whole family tonight and we are gonna set some Bap dates for sure. We need to get them to church! But yeah last Friday elder Lesperance and elder Wulff went on splits because my comp is the district leader and elder Wulff is the zone leader and apparently they need to go on splits. Well Elder Wulff is training Elder Kirkham and Elder Lesperance is training me so that meant that the two trainees were going to be together for the day. It was actually a way good time! We got to try to contact an old investigator on Roosevelt island and it was sweet! We got to ride the tram over and it's just like the snowbird tram only bigger and nicer and it goes over the Hudson River I think. Got some sweet pics too. Nobody answered but we did get to street contact a bunch of people! It was cool because both elder Kirkham and I got to apply the things that our trainers had taught us without being in their shadow. It was awesome. We had dinner with one of the members in elder Kirkham's YSA ward and had a great lesson about magnifying their callings. It was sweet. Elder Tabor and have a new investigator named hulito and we are meeting with him again on Friday. He seems pretty solid. John is struggling because a member in his family has passed away recently and now he doesn't know what to think. It's rough but we are going to continue to meet with him. I got the worst haircut today but whatever. A cool experience we had was on the street yesterday a member couple said hi to us we started talking and they used to live in Harlem and he was the mission ward leader. It was cool because elder Tabor asked if we could leave them with a word of prayer right there on the street! It was a little weird at first but after I stopped caring about what other people thought it was actually pretty awesome. She was crying by the time we left. We have been working with members alot lately and we have received a really solid referral from one of the recent converts in the ward. His name is Alfie and we are going to hopefully teach him a lesson this week. His was so excited to learn about the premortal life and everything. It's sweet! That's pretty much my week! Love and miss you all! Elder Murray 1) Elder Nelson and I.
