Chicken Feet, My friend Elder Caines car (the bullet), my new companion Elder Tatafu, Saying good by to Elder Lusk and our old area friends... I will miss Yonkers! Yup! This place is full of hippies! It's actually really funny. I think everyone we street contact here is on something... Oh yeah! So I'm in a branch now! It's tiny! There's probably like 40 people that attend it's awesome. HOLY, I ATE CHICKEN FEET. Oh my goodness it was terrifying. The Walkers (a Jamaican family in our branch) told us to stop by last night and pick up some food and you know us missionaries we love food from the members! 😉 so we went to pick it up and brought it home not knowing that it was chicken feet soup and we went to dig into it when we got home and low and behold a chicken foot gets scooped out of it and Elder Tatafu almost jumped out of his seat! It is hands down the weirdest thing have ever eaten. I ate the pinky toe because I couldn't do anymore. You had to spit the bones out and ewwwwww. Yeah so it's hard to adjust to this new area I'm not gonna lie. We are teaching this guy named Teddy and set a baptismal date with him last night! We took the branch presidents 18 year old son with us to the lesson last night and man that kid is prepared. He grew up in Payson and then moved out to New Paltz in 2015 where nobody believes in God. And it has strengthened his testimony so much. It was awesome to get him excited to go out on his mission. Good times. We had dinner with a few families and had teddy over to dinner with the Walkers and it was a really spiritual experience for him! But that's pretty much it! The pictures I sent were of me and my roommates, Elder Lusk the families we visited the most in the Westchester ward, annnnnd chicken feet, Elder Tatafu and I and yeah! Oh and the bullet for my good friend John 😉 I've been learning some Tongan from Elder Tatafu and it's such a sick language! Ofa atu!
