This week has been kind of a crazy one! On Monday we spent some time with our district and played some sports at the church and got some Chick-Fil-A! After that I did lots of packing which was sad and I miss Manhattan, but Westchester is amazing and this area has some amazing people.
On Tuesday we had transfers and it was pouring rain. We were super worried we wouldn't be able to make it to the church for transfers because the subway's would be flooded. Luckily they weren't bad and we were able to make it to the church on time. I would not recommend luggage on the subway though, that is for sure haha.
I love being in Westchester and fall here is so pretty. We also have a wayyy nice apartment and are a little spoiled. This week was very busy, this area finds like crazy and with all of the STL (Sister Training Leader) things it made for a busy time. We are teaching some amazing people though. One being our friend Malik who is currently on date and doing well! We also are teaching someone named Jodelson who is on date as well. Our friend Audrey we are planning to put on date this week so stay tuned, she is awesome. There are some other cool people we are teaching that are starting to progress, but those are a few of our main friends. There also is a really cool family who has been meeting with the missionaries for 6 years and the wife wants to be baptized but the husband won't let her, which is super sad. But we got to eat with their family on Sunday and they are all so amazing!
My companion and her old companion got asked to do a role play of how they teach the Restoration for the whole mission and it was hard for them to do it not being together, so last night we had to drive to Manhattan to the mission home for them to be able to do the role play and I went on an overnight exchange here in Westchester with 2 others Sisters. We got to drive back to Manhattan this morning again to pick them up and it was crazy to be back in Manhattan! But the role play was amazing and how they teach the Restoration has changed my mission.
1 Nephi 17:3
"3 And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled. And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; wherefore, he did provide means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness."
I know that if we keep the commandments, we will be blessed and the Lord will provide us with the things that we need! I invite all of you to assess your lives and think of one thing you can do to better keep the commandments of God.
That was about it for this week!
