FIRST TRANSFER DOWN

Yo fam and friends :) it's so flipping crazy how fast these weeks go by I swear I write this same email everyday hahaha. Here is my week :)

Well for p day last week we went to Brooklyn Bridge park soooo dope :)

Tuesday we taught Warner and I'm worried haha this man just treats us like bros now not good but good at the same time idk. We shared 2 Nephi: 31 with him, he just doesn't get it but he's moving along slowly :)

Wednesday was so successful holy sweetness :) well we had service at this park that was so beautiful it's called prospect park! Then we contacted these bible referrals. One of them this Haitian lady so sweet her 12 year old daughter ordered a French Book of Mormon so we brought it and taught them! They want to keep learning so it was great :) then we got another investigator named Annmarie cute little old Haitian lady she's a gem. Elder Robinson and I faked knowing sign language on the train people were so confused hahahaha. 

Thursday we went to lunch with some friends I have back home it was way awesome :) they showed me the iPhone 7 and holy balls already missed an iPhone and only been out for 3 months.

Friday was Papa Kings birthday:) that's the only thing haha

Saturday was the ward Halloween party soooooo fun :) made me feel at home (even tho I'd never go to a ward Halloween party at home??) anyways my comp and I dressed up as disobedient missionaries hhaha skinny dies and fancy socks you could say it got out of hand ;) these teenage kids at McDonald's looked at me and go "who the F*** are you?" In my head I was like oh you wanna know who I am you little punk but then I remembered Charity and love and be Christlike so I just didn't say anything got a DP and left. Very proud of myself. 

Sunday- we went to church 

Love you all and have a good week plz :):)

FRIES THAT'LL CROSS YO EYES

You may ask does this subject line have a good story behind it? Answer is no, no it doesn't. So hey there I want to apologize for my infinite grammar mistakes I made last week in my email. As I re-read it I was like I'm such an idiot, so if I make more my bad I'm just cruisin so I can go to bed hahaha. Anyways wazzzz up?!? How are all you??? I don't know why I'm asking not like you're gonna read that and go "wow I'm doin good thank you" hahaha ok movin onto my week :)

Tuesday- Soooooo slow but we were walking down the street and these kids on the basketball court were playing and were like "hey you two white boys come play us" for you that know this is my fantasy coming true hehe so we were like ya sure. All their friends were like "those guys are gonna crush you they probs play college ball" in my head I'm like I didn't even play HS even tho I was better than everyone in the team ;) so it was my comp and I verse 3 of them and we beat them 16-5 and they agreed to hear our message if we won so that was good. In district meeting we asked "who's most likely to be famous" and "who's most likely to be the most successful" well family friends shockingly enough everyone picked me hahahaha. I was like if all my boys were with me they'd counter that so hard.

Wednesday- We went on exchanges with the zone leaders and I was with Elder Fowles if we weren't on a mission probs would throat jab him?? But we got along all day hahaha so that was good. He's an English missionary so every time we contacted a Haitian I was the money man. I spoke more creole in 1 day then I have my whole mission it was awesome :) 

Thursday- We went to good ol' Warners house he called us "hey I'm lonely will you guys come hang out with me?" Such cute old man hahaha. So I got these amazing jolly rancher bites from the Jeffs family (shouts for that btw hehe) so I took them with me cause literally taste so amazing! So I go "Warner do you want me to blow your mind right now?" He goes "as long as it's just my mind!" We laughed so hard. I pull out the bites he goes "oh candy!!" So I gave him one and he asks if he could have the whole bag hahahah I was like umm ya sure Warner if you get baptized already!!! Jk I didn't say that but sure wanted to haha.

Friday-We had deep cleaning so not a lot happened today.. again I'm gonna tell a story that made my head grow a little bigger. So we were just chillin at McDonald's and I went to the little men's room. Came out and these 2 Haitian girls that worked there were speaking creole and little did they know that my comp and I speak creole hehe they were like "that guy in the back is way cute" the other one "yeah he's fine" my comp turns to me and goes "literally you're so gay I'm so sick of it" hahaha I was like dude I promise this wasn't how it was back home girls hated me. 

Saturday- this day just sucked haha soooo cold and windy like ugh way bad. Went to downtown Brooklyn which was cool :) bout it.

Sunday- we had a good Sunday my comp and I translated sacrament for the Haitians! Way harder than you'd think hahaha. Then we went to Terry's and taught her about Enduring to the End and we explained how important that is to us :) so that was cool!!

Okay that was my week! It was good but slow! Love you all and stay fresh!!

Elder King out

I SHOOK ELDER HOLLANDS HAND

So family and friends I'm not trying to brag or anything but I looked into an apostles eyes this Sunday and lemme tell ya this church is so true like no doubt. I wish you all could all experience what I did. He talked to us and it was literally the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. After today my perspective on life is so different. I know I say I've changed every week but dang I do change every week! My love for this gospel grows every second of everyday. I just want to type all day to you guys about how much I love it. I'll shut up now and tell you about my week.

Tuesday- We had trainer trainee meeting it was good. I ordered a French name tag so I'm pumped haha, and a English just for fun.

Wednesday - so imma be straight up with y'all way forgot to write in my journal this day so you could say I literally remember nothing, the church was still true on that day tho ;)

Thursday- We went to Coney Island to talk to Jenny but Jenny has literally bailed on us 4 times in a row so Jenny ain't feeling us anymore you could say hahaha. Then we had some AWESOME WEEKLY PLANNING!!! So amazing love it so much, sense sarcasm haha? I contacted in 3 languages, I'm coming for your Spanish T-Ham. Mwen pale tankou rat, which means I speak like a rat, it's a saying in Creole so that's how I'm gonna speak Spanish too hehe. Then we got this Haitians number super cool dude turns out gave me a fake number so that's chill didn't wanna talk to him anyway.

Friday- We had district meeting it was way good I love my district half of us are converts so I'm not the only one so it's cool :) I gave a "workshop" on the Book of Mormon which is like a lesson and I'd say I totally owned it haha. We met this way sick guy at Newkirk plaza he talked to me about the restoration, we gave him a BOM hopefully he calls us :)

Saturday- We had zone training meeting it was good! Pretty sure my zone thinks I'm weird cause I just speak what's on my mind and they give me weird looks but they can eat it cause I'm just doin me, haha jk I love them. We talked to this Haitian family later that night. They always tell me I don't speak creole but I blew them away this lesson #giftoftonguesisreal they loved my prayer haha I was so happy they accepted me. We got them their temple recommendations so we're going to the temple Saturday!!! I get to go to Manhattan I'm so happy, I miss the temple.

My comp and I were sitting there and this girl walks by (this whole convo is in creole) so I go "think she's hot?" He goes, "look again" and then we look in front of us and the people in front of us were Haitian, understood everything! I know, I know, shame on me bad missionary ;)

Sunday- The day we got to hear from the one and only Elder Holland. Like I said before this was the best day of my life most spiritual day of my life. He has such a way with words, he can just touch your heart. As I shook his hand and looked into his eyes I felt something I've never felt. So amazing:) I think he blessed me with the gift of tongues cause I spoke some fire creole tonight during a lesson best creole I've ever spoke haha. 

Ok here's some pics :) shouts to you for reading all this thanks for being you and don't forget to email me, love to hear bout you all!! Hope you're all doing so good

FET BLAN MOURI NWA

My subject line means (born white die black) haha. Hello my favorite people ever that actually care what I'm doing with my life hahaha I hope you're all killin it in whatever you're doin

So I'm not gonna go day by day this week I'm just gonna give stories and stuff! So last p day I didn't get to tell you guys about this I literally almost died haha well at least I thought. So this Haitian lady asked us to help her move from 10-11 which is cool, I'm down to help but like we all know we aren't just gonna move just in 1 hour haha. So we get everything moved out of the apartment and then took all her stuff to the other apartment building. Well little did we know going into this place we would be threatened in some crazy languages hahaha. These lady's from Saudi Arabia or whatever idk they started yelling at my comp and I, things like "LEAVE NOW LEAVE YOU DONT BELONG HERE" she literally was chanting so many things at us. Then we got kicked out, then the owner of the building and the owner of the apartment like almost got into a first fight so crazy hahaha. So many things happen that I'm not putting tho it's just too much. We finally got in this way long process cops were called and stuff. I literally didn't feel like I was in America anymore hahaha. 

THEN THE NEXT DANG DAY we were in a lesson with Warner, and the zone leaders called us like 4 times and I didn't answer cause trying to save Warners salvation? Hahaha kidding but for reals we were dropping hard knowledge. They showed up to his apartment and told us our apartment was on fire. We sprinted all the way to our place, so far. Let's just Beau Beau is out of shape I mean my bods still bangin but like can't breath haha. We walk into our apartment and you couldn't see the other side of the room cause so much smoke hahaha. My comp left the chicken in the pot with it still on hahaha. So now our whole apartment smells like smoke we had to do laundry all over again /:

Then we were walking down the street and this lady opens her window and goes "you Mormons?" We go "yep!" Then She's like "you guys practice Polygamy huh?" Hahaha my first reaction I just laughed I felt bad haha. Then it just turned into a bible bash kinda annoying but it's whatevs.

I've had a really good week!! I just wanna share something with you guys. I've been thinking a lot on how I can improve myself on just being a better person and better missionary. I've been studying Christlike attributes like I told you last week. It's helped me so much. I learned something that will and has changed me. Yes I love when people love me, but I love it more when people trust me and love me. If I can show the investigators or people I'm around that I care for them and love them I earn their trust. That honestly means the world to me. I'm gaining such an amazing love for the people of New York. I can't believe I've learned so much in such little time. I can honestly say I've matured in certain areas that have made me really look at life differently. I mean don't worry I'm still the kid that tries way too hard to make people laugh but I know now what my purpose is here in life. I love this gospel with my whole heart. I love my mission with my whole heart. This is the best thing anyone could do in their life's (big thing to say but it's true). I love every single one of you. For all of you that have been there for me during this whole process you're truly a blessing. Whether you taught me dumb, smart, bad, good things you've taught me something that I apply everyday to make myself better and for those who are not LDS on my email list God loves you just as much. I can say just in these 2 months I am forever changed. I love you all and stay classy! Peace out y'all!

SAK PASE!

Ki Jan ou ye?! Hello everyone! Here's my week :)

Madi- So let me tell you guys about Warner. He's an investigator of ours he's one of the coolest people I know. Served in Vietnam way sick dude. Loves us so much. Hugs and kisses our cheeks every time he sees us hahaha. So today he told us all these war stories and I'm so interested in it haha he just has so many. He told us top secret stuff! Then we went to this Haitians house and had some Haitian food and it was sooo good! Then had district meeting same old meeting hahaha.

Mèkredi- Holy crap we had mega zone conference that's where like 3 or 4 zones come together and prezi prez comes and talks to us and we have a huge meeting. We were at the church from 8:15-4:15 way long day and my comp was just sitting there and he looked at me and said "what does God want us to learn on our missions?" And I was like fetch breh good question so that's been something I've been thinking about lately.

Jedi- Oh my gosh we had such a good lesson with Warner!! We committed him to baptism for November 6th!!!! He called us after we left and said that was the best lesson he's ever been taught. He told us during the lesson he feels something warm inside. My comp and I look at each other and go "that's the Holy Ghost Warner!! That's awesome!" It was amazing I felt the spirit so hard during that lesson. 

Vandredi- We went on exchanges with the ZLs so I was Elder Saintran he's from Haiti speaks 4 languages!! Creole, French, Spanish, English. He's like a super missionary hahaha. We went finding lost sheep (less active members) no one answered the doors we knocked on 3. We walked so much hahaha. I get called "Blan" literally Haitian house we go to it's so annoying haha. It means white idk If I told you guys that haha. I bought a sexy hat tho. We were walking down the street and this girl sees me and yells "Oh my gosh are you British??" Hahaha I just turn to her and said no and she looked like mad at me lolz. I'm mad I didn't just fake an accent haha. I've been studying hecka Christ like attributes and it's been helping me a lot :)

Samdi- My first priesthood session here in NY. It was good! We just chilled at the church the whole time. Then we went to Applebee's after the first session my comp left our card for the waitress. Then we were walking back to the church and this older guy yelled for us and started talking to us and he's a member from Manhattan but he moved to Brooklyn and didn't know where the church was so we showed him! He asked for our picture hahaha. He was like "I wanna hang with you guys we should hang soon!" Way cool guy. 

Dimanch- Today was my first GC on the mish. So weird seeing a place that's ten min away from my house hahaha. It was a way good conference. I learned something that an apostle said "the only opinion that matters is Gods" and I was like shoot that's way right hahaha. Then we had lunch there way good. Then after conference we went contacting and I contacted someone in Spanish hahaha. All I know is do you speak Spanish? And we are the missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Said that to the guy in Spanish and took a card I was like heck to the ya haha. So you could say I'm already trilingual hahaha. So a solid day I'd say.

Mega Zone Conference
