Hey cool cats.
Well the leaves are on the ground! The trees are bald. Kind of sad but also kind of good because we have been able to do TONS of service. Raking for days. We raked 5 yards this last week. We bagged 473 bags of leaves!!! Intense. My arms are sore.
Today is P day. We are pretty happy about it. We are going to the mall in Scarsdale. To window shop till we drop.
Also I love this holiday vibe in the air. Kinda makes me giddy. And I hate the word giddy.
But anyways I'm still kickin here in Connecticut!
We were able to attend zone conference on Friday and that was dandy. President Smith is super motivational. Usually when he's done talking I feel like I want to get up and run a marathon. He has got so much energy. He teaches really great life lessons too. I think every training I've had from him has been a training for not only missionary life but for real life!! I feel blessed to have such awesome examples in my life.
We got to watch the new video that the church made for Christmas this year! #asaviorisborn Gettin me all pumped for the Christmas season. I'm way happy that I get to be a missionary for Christmas one more time!! It'll be a special one.
One of my favorite yards to Rake was a woman in the Darien ward. I got to help rake her yard last year and I got to do it again this year!! She makes it such a good time. Fed us delicious chili. We rake rake raked and put the leaves in paper bags. And then she started her little campfire in the backyard for dessert! We roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. HAPPY FUN GOOD TIME. We all loved it. It was my companion and I. And our roommates. And then four other elders in our zone. Maybe we had too much fun. Idk. It was great. Service wins.
Oh yeah! And we also had Stevens baptism last Wednesday!
It was lovely. President Smith came. The YSA ward was very supportive. Loved it. Baptisms are always uplifting! Reminds me of the covenant I made for myself 12 years ago.
Steven is so solid and happy.
We are working with a few member referrals too!! We got 2 new ones from 2 investigators!! So cool. Progress is definitely being made here.
The work is good!! I kind of don't know what to say about it or how to explain it... But we are doin it. And I love it.
So yes life is still good here!!
I love my companion. I have another life long friend!
I'm happy. I'm grateful for so many things in my life!! I have a thankful heart.
We are so blessed to have the restored gospel!!
Sorry I'm kinda short today. Just have the P day jitters and I can't really write very clearly haha!
