CHEN GEN KAY PAT SHE YON SEL CHEMEN LE FE

Here we are again soooo weird I'm almost done with my 2nd transfer. My subject line literally translated means the dog has four paws, but it only takes one path. It's like one thing at a time :) so I just was like how perfect just take one thing at a time and everything will flow. Okay dokay here's my week!

Tuesday- We had district meeting and one of the APs came to it hahahaha it was scary cause they're like mega missionaries like robots lol. Then we were contacting on the street and this Haitian lady went off saying give someone a card that needs jezikri because she has him and I'm like chill ur face I'm just trying to be nice but she was great :):)

Wednesday-So no clue what we did, only thing I got is we walked down this ally way and there was these 3 guys worshiping this backpack not judging or anything but WHAT THE FLIP?¿ I was so confused. So one of the sisters called the cops they were so scared it was embarrassing but it was okay! Haha oh and we had service we cleaned up the park.

Thursday- THANKSGIVING first holiday on the mish and I'd say it went way good. We went and played football as a zone and it was so fun! I balled of course cause I'm the best ;) on the way home my companion the awesome guy he is runs across the street to catch the bus so I follow suit and a CAR COMES OUT OF NO WHERE. Literally the car touched the hair on my legs. I was so close to dying no lie. 

Friday-So we got a new date for Warner it was for Dec 4th but he didn't come to church today so we bumped it up to Dec 18th so hopefully we can do it :)

Saturday- We taught this new investigator named Mary Blaze we taught her at the door cause no one was home so that sucked but she said she'll try to come to church next Sunday so we'll see! I've been studying Moroni Chapter 7 and lemme tell ya that chapter is by far my fav chapter. Literally if you follow it everything else will come. I challenge all y'all to read it cause I love it :) 

Sunday- we had church and it was good! Then we talked to like a ton of people on the street which was fun :) 

I love you all so so much have a blessed week! Hope to hear from you all! Here's some pics

THANKSGIVING WEEK

Hello everyone :) hope all is well. Here's my week!!

Tuesday-We got a call from Warner that he did something stupid hahaha so we went to his house and just wanted to hang out. Then after we went to the Chinese restaurant, it was alright but like once you go panda you never go back...then that night I was goin up to this couple to give them a card and the dude puts his hand out and says "don't", I'm like aight Bryson Tiller my bad.. (sorry for you old people who don't know who that is..)

Wednesday-we had service at prospect park it is so beautiful ugh. Then we went over to Lectors house he's a recent convert and we said to come over to teach his wife. We were way excited but she kinda bashed with us. It was still a good lesson tho. Besides she said she doesn't like Mormons lol.

Thursday- We went over to the Library to get on family history for a recent convert/part member family so that we can get names and take them to the temple. Then we talked to this Haitian guy on the train, way cool dude, names Frank. Something cool bout speaking creole is every time we speak it their like heart melts they love us so much.

Friday-We had mega zone conference, that's where like 5 zones get together and president shows us a bunch of stuff. It was way good! After the meeting me, Elder Garcia, Elder Robinson, and a couple elders and sisters were chillin in the gym and Garcia and Sister Figro like started step battling and they started videoing it. Then president walked in hahaha he walked around saw the video recording and he goes "what's that for?" Elder Garcia goes "we're having a step battle show us your talents president!" He goes "I'm here to do missionary work sorry" hahahahahahaha straight toasted us so hard. Wow it was awesome he even laughed at himself. He's awesome.

Saturday- the fullest day we had all week. We taught 4 lessons in a day and here in NY that's good. Missionaries with cars teach hecka lessons but we have to walk or take a train/bus somewhere and we cover allll of Brooklyn cause we're Creole. So we were pumped we taught that many haha. We taught this Haitian lady and her nephew Lealea. Mary was super cool and stuff but her nephew was like only bible rawrrrr and we were like dawg chill read the book pray about it. Then I shared my conversion story gosh I feel the spirit so hard every time I share it. Kinda selfish of me idk but ya. Thought they enjoyed it. Heard my first gunshot!!! Yayyyyy!! (Don't worry mom I was in my apartment)  

Sunday- we had good ol church which was good. Our bishop hates missionaries so I'm confused there. I want my bishop back, this new guy literally just ugh so mean. Then we went over to the Millers house. He used to be the patriarch but he's gotten way old. His family like started the church here in Brooklyn hahahahah. They have a special needs son, he's so freakin funny!! At the dinner table (where the food she prepared was like being home at thanksgiving freakin bomb) and he just kept like drinking then making that refreshing sound people make idk. We were all dying hahaha. Then they have this board where everyone that sleeps over they their house they sign and you'll never believe this but Thomas S Monson singed it!!! He was Brother Millers bishop when he was a teenager in Utah!!! So cool.

There's my week :) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TOILET PAPER LITERALLY SAVED OUR LIVES. YOU GUYS ROCK!! Love you all so so much. The church is true and I still love you :) that was cute huh? Just thought of it lolz ok bye here's some pics.

FIRST STAKE CONFERENCE

Well family and friends here I am I again tellin ya about my week but this time we have a new president Trumpy trump. I don't really give a care bout politics especially now that I'm a missionary, but I do wanna say one thing. Complaining about how he was elected literally won't change anything just make you look bad hahaha. Okay now back to more important things like myself.

Tuesday- man oh man we had district meeting and the zone leaders brought one of the young men his names ramen deffs not his name but like don't remember it. Anyways after they pawned him off on us and we were going to teach Warner which wasn't the best guy for him to come teaching with but it went a lot better than expected so that was good :) Good ol God the home boy tested our faith this night. We had a goal to talk to 30 people and teach 1 street lesson. Well we got to 29 people and didn't teach a lesson so I was getting annoyed and was like ok I'm counting down from 15 sec then talking to somebody and we're leaving well that person wanted nothing to do with us. Then the 31st person was awesome! He was a Haitian guy super interested and we got his number! 

Wednesday- we had exchanges and I was with Elder Jeppson total homie love him. We went and taught Warner again hahaha this time his closing prayer he goes "god I'm 65 years old and the woman are flocking to me so please keep them comin" literally almost just died mid prayer. Then went and taught this part member Haitian family. So like Jeppson doesn't speak creole so I was all by myself. We taught the plan of salvation Jeppson nodded his head at everything so it went pretty good. 

Thursday- so my awesome comp and I were walking past these 10 Muslim guys standing taking and I go "you ain't down to talk to them?" He goes "bro I'm so down" so he went and talked to them gave them all a card hahahaha I don't think they liked it but it was good!

Friday- Robinson and I went and did some bible drop offs and the people we went to were like "we aren't interested" and I'm like then why in the flip flop did you order the dang bible you ding face. Anyways on our way to the last house we saw swings and I was like bro let's go swing on some swings we deserve it. So we swung for like 10 min. Super satisfying hahaha you'd only know If you were a missionary hahahaha. Then we went on this street literally sentispri orevwa which means goodbye Holy Ghost hahaha. It was so creepy oh my gosh. We made it out alive tho.

Saturday- did some more bible drop offs then had this adult stake conference went pretty good. I heard something I really liked. The gospel is like playing an instrument you can practice once a week and ya you'll progress but you'll plateau at a certain point. In order to become the best of your ability you most practice at opportunity you have. So like the gospel ya you can go to church every Sunday but if you don't follow and practice it you won't learn as much. You need to always live it not just once a week. Ya feel?! Loved it.

Sunday- stake conference went way good! Me, Elder Robinson, and Elder Saintran translated in creole way cool. Then we just talked to people on the street and stuff! Haha the temple president was there and his wife at stake conference. His wife comes up to me, feels my hair and goes "is this mission appropriate?" I go "umm my mission president hasn't said anything so I think it's okay" she goes "well honey don't be a rebellious missionary" and in my head I'm like am I bout to swing on the temple presidents wife? Lolz jk way wouldn't do that but I was thinking it hahaha. 

Well there's my week! Love you all :) don't forget to email me, here's some pics!

BAD LUCK MONTH

Hello famni epi Zamni!! Hope all is well :) this month in the past is the most unluckiest month of my life. For the people that don't know I've been in the hospital 2 years in a row this month. With both head injuries hahahaha so let's pray I don't get any flying objects thrown at my head this month!! Here's my week!!

Tuesday- Probs the best day of my life of the mish so far. I had the amazing opportunity to partake of Panda Express. Literally tasted so amazing I dropped like $15 so probs will be broke this transfer way worth it tho.  Besides that we had transfer meeting which is always cool. Then leadership meeting cause my comp is district leader. If you've served a mission or are on one you know so much butt kissing in one meeting so I stood up and told everyone that being in a leadership position doesn't matter it's just a label you're the same as me lol.

Wednesday- We taught Anastasia and Warner which was good. Anastasia is a new investigator she's 21 Haitian girl. Her like whole family is LDS but she's not feeling it right now. Then we had district meeting, we have a new sister, Sister Cate she's a creole sister. Then new ZL his name is Elder Jeppson total homie.

Thursday- 3 month mark so that's crazy haha. We taught Annmarie cute old Haitian lady, baptismal date for January 15th way far away we'll see what happens. Then ward correlation, our new ward mission leader is a homie, lived in Utah for awhile.

Friday- Taught Warner again kinda just a bro, he's like my dad of the mission haha, freakin love him.

Saturday- We taught a ton of street lessons to Haitian people, way awesome. So at the end of the day me, Elder Robison (my comp), Elder Jeppson, and Elder Saintran go into this side market to get toilet paper cause we were all out. We go dang this huge bag has like so many rolls so we'll split the check. Well we get home open it up and it was just a huge bag of paper towels ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ we all just lost it hahaha we were so mad cause it was $20!!

Sunday- I'm gonna be honest our bishop hates missionaries so it's sucks haha. I speak more creole than English on Sundays so that's weird. Then we were leaving this less actives house at night and this old lady comes up to us and asks us who's car that is and we didn't know. She fell and her phone fell under it. So we go under there with a flash light and grabbed her phone. Her and her husband invited us inside and we shared our message with them. She later tells us that she was praying about the phone and next thing she knew we were right in front of her. So that was so amazing to me. God works in mysterious ways.

Okay love you all, have a good week! And don't forget to write me ;) that pic of me eating the donut is from last week lolz
