lemonade life

Yo.

It's me. The missionary in NYC.(Rhyming)

Fabulous week! Today has been a nice day. We went to Madewell and to the metropolitan museum. My 3rd time going there. But let me tell you, I could spend a month in there because there is so much to see. It's huge. So it's been a good day. We are now eating at magnolias bakery and that equals happiness. I AM SUCH A HAPPY CAT RIGHT NOW. 

So we got to go to the temple twice last week. That was perf!!! We went to do baptisms with NATASHA my fave recent convert. It was so good. I miss doing baptisms! I hadn't done baptisms in over a year. So it was great. Very refreshing. Literally. Hahahaha I felt like I was swimming for a second :) I have not been in water for over a year!!! Obviously I've showered. But like fully immersed in water. So that was a fun feelin. Loved it. 

We did an APF on Saturday. Sister Sam and I planned it. Free lemonade! And talked about Thomas S. Monson. Modern day prophets. We met a man who claimed to be John the Baptist. He also told me his eyes could turn any color he wanted them. So he tried to show me. All I saw was brown. So that was fun! Haha I think he was bipolar because one second he was yelling at everyone saying "MORMONS ARE THE BEST. MORMONS ARE THE BEST." And the next second he was screaming at us that we were "FALSE PROPHETS. FALSE PROPHETS." Hahha. I was a DYING LAUGHING mess. He was a hoot. So fun.

We also helped out with this street fair called Harlem Days. We had laptops set up and we helped people figure out their family trees! That was great. people LOVE their family history. It was real good. Way hot. And I was sweating. But that's my life these days so just gotta get over it. 

We gave our bus driver a Book of Mormon. He still loves us. He was asking all sorts of questions and we were thrilled!!! We found out his name. It's Edgar. He goes "call me E." HAHAHAhaha. I love E. It was funny because when we bopped on the bus he's all "it's my favorite persons!!!" Lovely E. We like him. 

HAHA. This is just the funniest/scariest thing of my life. Okay. So there was a man last week that asked the elders if he could marry one of the sisters in our apartment building and they were like uhhh... No. When they told us we were like just laughing about it. We were unsure which sister missionary he was talking about. Well today, we were going to target and on the way there this man stopped us. I will summarize what he said. He said he watches us and knows that we are never home at our apartment because we are always out on our quest. Hahaha and then he confessed his love to me. Told me that when I am done with my quest I could live with him. He asked if he could learn about the gospel from us. Then told me he would never forget my name. Then he told me he loved me. And then I stood there wanting to cry Hahahaha. We just died. We were like uhhhhhhhh..... WHERE ARE THE ELDERS WHEN YOU NEED THEM. Anyways we are keeping a close eye out for this guy. Hahah. Hilarious. 

Also we had a zone conference and it was AMZNG. I am so rushed right now trying to hurry this email so forgive me for the quick ending!!! I will email more next week :) I also had a good spiritual thought to share but my time is cut short!! Sorrrrry!!

I am doing SO GOOD. I love this work. Looooove it. 

Love ABBBBB
