#camels

This is probs going to be a RUSHED email. 

We've been busy this P day. Busy busy. 

We are going to ride camels. Yes you read that correctly. We are going to ride a camel. 

HAHA. That's why this is rushed. 

But anyways. It was a great week!! Still STLing and training an busying it up. Here are the randoms!

We had interviews with President Smith and a little training from him. That was great you know. I like President Smith. He and I get along great. 

A cool moment for me!!

I received a text from President Smith on Sunday and he told me that he went to church at the Darien ward. Which was my first area! Well he said that a woman that I had taught when I was there had been baptized and was giving a talk that day in sacrament meeting! She brought up my name in her talk and that's why president knew to text me. But to make the story shorter. President told me that not only SHE had been baptized but her HUSBAND, and her little 8 year old is getting baptized on Saturday!! And she has two younger kids that are eagerly waiting for their turn to be baptized!!! HOW COOL. Sometimes you just never know the good that comes from your efforts :) 

It's been a HOTTT time here in NYC. Hot. And so we use pamphlets to fan our faces whenever we are waiting for public transportation or something. Well let me tell you somethin. We be PASSIN OUT PAMPHLETS LIKE FREE FANS. Everyone loves them hahaha!! They see us fanning ourselves and they instantly get jealous. So we then share the love AND the gospel at the same time. People are just a walkin around with LDS pamphlets all over NYC. Haha good stuff.

Sister Sam and I basically planned and put on a wedding in 10 minutes for a girl in the YSA ward. HAHA. Bishop married them and Sister Sam played the piano, and I said both of the prayers. It is a longer story but to keep this brief that's all there is to say about it. Haha. Wedding planning sister missionaries. 

This transfer is FLYING by. It's not cool. Haha.

Our African investigator literally is the best thing that ever happened in NY. Haha. He LOVES church and is so excited for his baptism. He is learning so much. He texted us one night and said "hello miss I have 20 question for you" HAHA. We got to our lesson with him and he literally had a notebook full of questions. He is fun. Haha! Hopefully I will still be here when it happens. September 6th is the date. We invited him to a baptism last week just so he could see what it's like and feel the spirit there. He loved it. He kept smiling. Ah good. 

Haha there was a crazy man in sacrament meeting on Sunday. You would DIE if you could see the crazy people in NY. These New Yorkers take the "visitors welcome" sign seriously!! They are visiting right and left. Haha. (No but really they just love the air conditioning) haha. This man in particular had a freak out in sacrament meeting. Tipping chairs over, yelling, throwing his drink on the ground. Haha he was bleeding on his head. Yikes. Then bishop went to help this fine fellow out and the man picked up his crutch and began to pretend it was a gun. Sad right? People need help. Pray for this man ... Bless his heart hahaha. I was dying laughing tho. Probably not very mature of me.. Oh well. Sometimes all you can do is laugh. Especially at these harlemites...

Awh man! This isn't my best email I've written so forgive me... Next weeks will hopefully be better :)

I LOVE YOU ALL! 

Love abbbbbba

Ps don't forget about our lovely pioneers that went through all they did for us. :)
