What is going on everybody! Jersey City is a fun time filled with a whole ton of awesome experiences and awesome people. I'm just gonna get right into it;
To start off let me just paint a picture of what our area looks like. As the people be saying it, "We be livin in da hood mahn." So picture this: Your the only white person. You've got people wheeling up and down the streets on their dirt bikes, big old speakers blasting music, maybe some illegal happenings but those don't have to be mentioned haha and a whole lot of awesome people that love talking to us. We have made some good friends with a lot of people so everytime they see us they yell out from across the street. There is this dude named Mike who yells out so loud "Mormon Power" every time he sees us. We saw him on the bus yesterday and he hit us with it and everyone around us was so confused haha it was awesome.
We are teaching a lot of awesome people right now as well. We were able to put our friend Ahmeer on baptismal date which is exciting. He is such a cool guy. We were teaching him about the Restoration at the church building and he asked us a question about baptism. We just so happened to have a baptismal font at our church building so we showed him it and he was is awe. We explained to him what baptism was and how we do it and he told us that, "That is something I want to do." Seeing people want to live the gospel always makes me happy.
There is a quote that I came across yesterday that I want to share with y'all.
"President Hinckley has often said that the only way he knows to get anything done is to get on his knees and plead for help and then get on his feet and go to work. That combination of faith and hard work is the consummate curriculum for learning the language of the Spirit."
When I read that I realized that that is what most of my mission and even life has been. Sometimes we just don't know what to do. I have seen though throughout my mission especially that as I have asked for guidance and then started doing what I know how to do I have found that God is always right beside me helping me out. Take some time to think about that this week.
Remember y'all, Keep that smile on your faces!
