Hello all,
I'm learning to notice the mini-miracles and promptings of the Spirit. I have the best ward mission leaders. Christopher Meek and Broc Buttars. They both are such amazing people. Brother Meek is seriously the best guy. He's the ward mission leader in the YSA ward and he'll do anything for us. He's a returned missionary of Indonesia The YSA ward is awesome. It's just like working with a bunch of friends. There is this one guy that it super prideful but so fun to mess with. He's probably a little like me but he kept giving us crap for not picking a restaurant so we asked him what the best restaurant he had been to in NY and he told us we were like ok let's go there. It's called the Spice Market and it was wayyy good. I miss Guitar… the Simbros have a classical guitar but one of the strings is broken! That was the first time in a while that I got to hold and attempt to play a guitar. It was scary because at first it felt SUPPPPERR awkward but then my muscle memory kicked in and it wasn't as scary. I'm like the mom of the apartment because everybody is a slob. I make them do their dishes and clean their rooms and I hate it. They all hate me sometimes (-;. Sorry mom if I was like that. I don't really have a favorite day of the week. P-day is pretty relaxing but my favorite day of the week is when we meet new people who are interested in the gospel and when we have back to back lessons. Haha that is the best thing ever. The national history museum was fun hopefully your getting the pics. Right now we are waiting for laundry in the laundromat and it is dumping rain like crazy... I'm sitting 12 feet inside the laundromat and the door is opened and rain is still getting on me it's hitting the ground so hard. Interviews were good… President Smith is awesome. We got to go do baptism again this week. It was awesome! We did them with William and his friends and I got to confirm and baptize in the temple! It was sweet! I baptized Elder Kirkham and he's pretty tall. I had to push him under the water every time… it was funny. It was and awesome experience! I didn't even have my temple recommend but President told the temple worker that I could go in so it was cool. After that we took William and his friends street contacting. We gave out 3 books of Mormon and it was a cool experience for them. William does it all the time but it was fun. Another awesome family we've had dinner with is the Simbros family. They are just starting to come back to church and they make the best food! The only problem is the food just keeps coming and coming and it never stops, but it's the best traditional Mexican food I've had. We met a few people on the street that want to learn more about the book of Mormon and it's awesome. We have appointments set with Ivan a guy we met on the street and another one with Latasha hopefully soon! Something cool happened yesterday when we were going to dinner. We were just gonna go straight to dinner but I felt like we should go to the Garcia families home and so we did and Ashley was there and we got to set up an appointment with them! Ashley and Ivan Garcia are going through a hard time right now and that's why we haven't got to get in contact with Ivan but Ashley says she misses us so that's good! All in all its been a great week! Thanks again for all your emails and letters! Have a great week! Elder Murray Pictures; THE LEGO STORE (these are all mini figures.
