Hello family, So to answer your questions, the
flight was good and long, I love that feeling of taking off and landing. I
haven't been to the apartment but what I have heard about it, it will be pretty
nice. P-day's are Wednesday's so that will be the day I will write to you, and
will do anything I need to do. The package is here, we get mail on P-day's so
anything you send will get to me Wednesday's other than letters and stuff! I am
good on stuff you need to send.
So my first area on my mission is Harlem 1st ward in Central Manhattan!
So
I am going to go through my day yesterday and today. So on Monday night we were
all packing till like 11pm at night, just to make sure we had everything, then we
went to bed and woke up at 1:45 because we wanted to shower for like 20 minutes
one last time before we entered the field. At about 3:30am we went to the travel
office so we could get everything ready so we wouldn't be late. I guess I was
the travel leader so that was a shock, but we got on the bus and fell asleep a
lot of the trip, because they turned the lights out because they knew that we
would be tired, we were all very tired. We then got checked in and went through
security and that's when I called you. Got on the plane, and woke up 2 hours
later to find that we had like 45 minutes until we arrived in Detroit. 1 hour
later we got on the plane to White Plains New York, and it was one of those
small planes, not a big gigantic one like we were on before. Got there and meet
the president and his wife, they got a lot of pictures with us and we then
talked a bit and went to the cars to be taken to the Mission Home.
The mission home was nice, it was built in the 1900's and in 1996 it was
made a mission home and was completely re-done. After we got settled in, we had
interviews with the president and talked a bit. After all the interviews we had
a big Thanksgiving dinner and talked and had fun. It was truly amazing, I love
food, so that was just awesome for them to do. Had a testimony meeting
afterwards, and went to bed like at 9:30pm! That was the most sleep I have ever
got up to this point, I really needed it too! This morning we woke up, got
ready, had AUTHENTIC New York bagels. They are better than the bagels we have at
home, by far. We got our money cards and insurance card thingy ha. Then we came
to this building in White Plains, I think? That's when I met my companion, Elder
Wallace, so he will be my Trainer! We talked a bit and got some bodegas and
yeah.
I am so excited to be here in New York and I can't wait to get out there
and start teaching! It has been raining and snowing all day here, I guess it is
the first snowfall of Fall, pretty crazy! I can't wait to teach and feel that
spirit that I love to feel, I am actually teaching a couple lessons tonight,
which my companion will let me teach like 75% of it, so this will be
fun!
Love,
Elder Casper
