FIRST BAPTISM / CRAZY WEEK

So lemme start this awesome email off with the bad news.... most of you all know I'm coming home for surgery. I'll be home for 4-6 weeks!! Then I'm coming right back to NY. I have no intentions of staying in Utah at all. My heart is in NY and always will be till I finish my mission. I love you all and I'd love all the support I can get. I'm goin home for one reason and that is to get healthy. Thank you very much for everything everyone!!  I'll be coming home Tuesday.

Ight so here's the amazingness of my week now. So this Sunday I had the opportunity to baptize Warner! I've been teaching him for 6 months (my whole mission) and he finally made it!! It was honestly the craziest experience ever! I haven't felt like that since my baptism:) Warner and I got changed before together and I was like ok go into the bathroom and change. He goes "King you played football get in here with me!" Hahahaha I laughed so hard so we changed together then we get into the font and I was like use this hand to plug your nose he goes "I don't need to plug my nose come on I'm not a baby!" Hahahaha again cutest guy ever. Dunking him was pretty hard he's a lot bigger than me but it was so awesome. I was like Brock was doing this to me just 3 years ago haha such an amazing experience. After the baptism me, Thompson and Warner were in the bathroom he told us he's never been happier in his life. He was just goin off on how happy he was :) that man is one of my best friends I love him so much 

I love this gospel with all my heart and I can see it change peoples lives. I've watched it change Warner and it makes me so happy to see. The biggest part for me about all this, is faith Idk where'd I'd be with out that. Once you have faith in the Lord he will give you blessings on blessing you just need to have trust in him. I love this work I'm doing in NY and it breaks my heart to have to leave for this short time but I know the Lord has a plan for me so I'll have faith in the plan and just keep marching forward. I love you all so much! Keep living your lives to the fullest. Always pray

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRAVIS!!! BEST BROTHER EVER I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE YOU ARE MY NUMBER FAN!! Little do you know I'm your biggest fan!! You is my bestest friend:) you might be a youngin but you're my bff. I can't wait to baptize you when I get home big guy! Take care of mama for me :)  

Hello family and friends I hope you had thee most bomb week ever :) my subject line for you non Haitians means "I'm changing my life forever" so yeah that's how I feel right now. So lemme just give you a back ground of this transfer real quick. My comp and I have gotten the shaft sooo hard like no one wants anything to do with us until this week it changed :) I'll be brief tho cause I'm tryna catch this sleep kounyeya hahaha

Tuesday- We had to like take the day for meetings and stuff but then we went to two inactive members and totally got the shaft (like last day of the shaft) then we went to bed

Wednesday- We had trainer trainee meeting which is just like president and the APs teaching us and giving us insight for training and stuff went way good:) well after we got a call from the park slope Elders and for you who don't know that's where Elder Robinson got sent to (My trainer) he said he found 2 Haitian brothers and he wanted to do a pass off lesson with us cause he's in an English area. So we went there with him and I got to teach a Creole lesson with him again and it made me way happy! Gave the guys a Book of Mormon they said they'll read it and they'll have us over next week! 

Thursday- we went and taught Warner so hard. It went good of course. Then we went to Ann Marie's house (Haitian lady investigator) we taught her fasting and we had to like use a ton of French words to teach her cause she didn't know them in creole so that was difficult for sure. She said she'll try and fast to get work off! Then her daughter was talking a lot in the lesson so we asked if we could teach her next time with her mom and she said of course!! So hecka pumped bout that! It was probs the best Creole I have ever spoke on my mission, gift a tongues is so tru.

Friday- we weekly planned and it went way good like best planning sesh I've had! Then we were calling like potential investigators and we called this girl named "Marie" but a dude answered and said it was her? Then we like taught him bout prophets cause he said "what could you teach me that I do already know?" And I'm like better just shut ur face cutie pie cause we got a lot haha. So he like went on how is the sun full of gas if space is a vacuum and how is it there? And said we have been lied too?? But like said we could meet with some time and talk so it went good I guess.

Saturday- So I was diagnosed with Laryngitis so I've been on like my death bed for 3 days so we stayed in till 6 me and my comp called around 85 people and got 12 appointments so it was pretty good actually:) then we went to teach Warner but he was like out sleeping so he said he can't tonight... then we went over to the Charles (Haitian family) and talked with Anastazia and her nephew and it went way good. Gabriel told us that he wanted to become like us and that just hit my lil heart so hard. He made us go ask his parents if we could teach him!! He's 12 and speaks 3 languages so that's cool.

Sunday- we had church and we went to get Warner but he ignored our phone and his door cause he was scared of baptism but he called us during Sacrament and apologized and said he still wants to get baptized so we're good :) this week will be tough for him!! Then we had a baptism with the zone leaders and it was awesome Warner came he liked it a lot! Then we went to Terry's later at night!

Sorry for the way long letter and if it's not as funny as usual just a way spiritual week :) I love you all soo much :) here's One pic cause ya all I got. I got a fresh haircut (my comps 6,5 I'm not a midget)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hey peeps how's all doin??? Freakin missed ur faces so hard. Well ya know I'm just in Brooklyn NY and I'm like 20 min From Times Square and lemme tell ya it took everything I had not to go there last night. Anyways here's my blessed week!!!

Tuesday-  We had interviews with President! We have interviews every transfer with him so it's pretty cool. He's my fav. Then we went and taught Warn Dawg he's so golden!!! He's getting baptized on January 15th the ward is preparing for him. He asked me to baptize him, he's literally amazing.

Wednesday- so during study's we were just chillin and we got a phone call and it was from Elder Saintran!! He came back to the mission field after 2 weeks hahaha he's cute we took him teaching with us we taught like 3 lessons way good. Then we went out to lunch with him. It was more than weird cause like he was my zone leader for my whole start of my mish haha.

Thursday- not gonna lie we went so hard this day. Like we didn't teach hecka lessons but we like visited a ton of in active members and it was honestly so awkward. We visited this guy name William but he told us to call him Bill? Apparently that's a thing hahaha anyways he thinks our church is dumb now so he was cute. Then we went to this Haitian family's house, The Charles and we wrestled with the youngins and the 16 year old came at me and I like slammed him hahaha he goes "ou gwo anpil" which means "you're very big" I'm like heck ya I am boi probs but in a few extra LBs too (I'm like 63% kidding lol)

Friday-  We taught the Warner the 3 Nephite story and his mind was blown but he was like coming up with all these ways they've kept their identities secret, cute guy.

Saturday- well I woke up with a flipping sore throat that made me way mad for sure /: then we didn't really do much besides go to Warners cause I was way sick. We went home and prepared for our awesome New Years event!!! We had the zone leaders over for pizza and then we played Dew pong which is very entertaining it was awesome. We tried staying up till 12 but umm we're so immune to 10:30 we were out by 11:00, way fun night.

Sunday- well we had church and we translated priesthood and it went way good today. My comp and I are both new to the language so it can be difficult at times haha. It was good tho. Then we went and looked up referrals it was fun :) bout it!!

I love you all so much :) Mwen remnem tout mount anpil. Nou Toujou bezwen jezikri nan lavi nou paske li ka ede nou avek tout bagay. M konnen se ou li liv momon an w ap resevwa repons epi benidicksyon :) I would translate but that's no fun!! Love you guys have a good week!! Here's some pics.
