well here we are another week has gone by but i feel like things are going to turn around. we have new zone leaders and a new pair of english elders and a new sister. lots of things changed at transfer meetings and my new companion is fresh from brownsville which is the ghetto of brooklyn. hes heard some gunshots over there and there was just a shooting where this lady was killed from protecting her kids... and that was down the block from where the elders where at.
cool story about elder storey (haha what a pun) the first day he was moving in our pad this crazy lady who always asks us for money but we are told not to give them any so we just always tell her sorry BUT this time she started cussing us out and elder storey started yelling at her too and eventually told her to go away and she just ran off mad. it was a good first day in our companionship and i automatically nkew that i was going to like elder storey haha.
weve been real blessed this week. at first we had to give away a bunch of names of people that we contacted but then just last night we decided to stop by one more house and we met this really nice family from st lucia (in the caribian). it was pretty cool to see that miricle happen and then we had this awesome district meeting where elder carnahan the new zone leader (he was assistant to the president last transfer) told us that we are going to change our zone from the least baptizing one to the most. that its self is going to be a miricle cause we havent had a baptism in 4 months (since i got here) but we are really trying hard to have 1 person for each companionship get baptized this transfer.
we are trying to work on the dad of jamarie brewster whos named marlin and hes this tall guy with dreads down to the floor and has shown interest in the church after a long time of not. so we are going to start working with him as well as the family we found yesterday. we are also going to institute a meal calandar for the ward because for some reason the other one never was passed around and never got started.
those pics from the hockey game look sweet and you know you cant win em all but i know that if you have faith and a belief in something true (like the stars winning) anything is possible. that was scripture in case you couldnt tell. in my attachments i sent a bad one of me at the transfer meeting with everyone that was in the district at the begining and then also a couple of elder storey.
we are going to be playing soccer today so i hoep i dont kill myself but it should be really fun. some new activity in our pad is that it stinks like dead animal cause a rat ate some poison then crawled up in our fridge and died. so now it smells like death in our food preperation area and the scent will make you loose your lunch/appitite. also the tenant above us had a bad leaking problem so its making our walls all bloated and water logged and the person incharge of our appartment is dumb and is trying to not fix it but brother brownel who pays the bills for our housing is not taking crap from them so hes yelling at them at a daily basis and telling them to get on it or we are moving out. im interested in seeing who will win this one.
anyway so pray for the dead rat in our fridge that it can go away and for marlin that he can accept the gospel and our baptism invite as well. hes a super cool guy and i think elder storey and i will make his conversion process the best it can be.
