Asian Splits

Dear Everyone,

Hey everyone this week has been a slow week.I

only have 2 weeks left of this transfer and then I have been out 4 1/2 

months and that is crazy to me.

Last Wednesday I went to the temple with the 

New York New York North Mission.

Saturday we helped move 2 people from the Danbury elders ward. They

are less active but all 6 of us elders went hard and it went quick. We

made a huge assembly line and and got all the boxes in the apartment

put in the truck really quick. This lady has like 3 floors full of

boxes and they are all written on in Portuguese so the Portuguese

elders and the lady knew what they said but no one

else. It was really fun, and the other move was up in the 8th floor

and we had the elevator, it took forever to do that but eventually we

got full control of the elevator. That made it so no one could access

the elevator but us, and that was super nice in the moving

process. The day we choose to

help move it rains all day.. So whatever.

On Monday we played billiards with this families kids and I got last place

and elder Tancayo got 2nd, but we have some pictures of that as well.

Nothing happened all the way until Tuesday, it has been a more boring week.

We have done a lot of look ups but this week we need to go way hard

and tract and make the best use of all the time we have. Tuesday I

went on a split with Elder Leung, in our area. We had apartment

inspections which Elder and Sister Lotz came up with dunkin donuts.

They looked at our apartment, luckily we cleaned that apartment good.

I guess we need to clean better in the kitchen areas though. Had a good day

introducing elder Leung to all the Asians in our ward (2 member

families). We taught 5 lessons, and tracked for an hour, and Elder

Leung taught me to always leave something, like a restoration pamphlet

and a card. We went to Johnny first and we read the Book of Mormon

with him and showed how the Book of Mormon answers those questions of

the soul. And also talked about church and hopefully he will come this

Sunday. We had lunch afterwards and we tracted from 2-3 and found some

success, this guy we found wasn't too interested but he has a friend

that is looking for something in his life. We got his number and

hopefully we will be able to teach him. 

One thing I need to work

better on is using time more wisely, like if we have time and not

doing anything before an appointment. We could go tract and plant

seeds for someone else to harvest. Make the best of every moment.

We had a couple less active lessons afterwards, the only reason they

are less active is because they are a little more aged and can't make

it to church. Had a dinner and then a desert appointment. We had a

good day and were really dedicated.

Something funny that happened while we were tracting is we knocked on

this door and this guy answered and said "nows not a good time" we

then asked "when is a better time?" And the guy responds "never". So

we were like out of 24 hours no time was good. We laughed after we

heard that. It was a good day.

That's all that happened this week, today we have a nerf dart war with

PVC pipe blow guns.

It's getting to that point where I will be buying short sleeve shirts.

Sometime in the near future. We have a mall here with all the stores

we have, also Costco.

So I love you all and hope you have a great week!
