Transfers

 

Hola amigos

 

This week has been a pretty interesting week! I got to as you know be transfered to Binghamton New York wich actually we are called the Johnson City Elders cause most of our area is Johnson City so I better change that on Facebook....but maybe I won't cuase we actually live in Binghamton so I think I will just leave it :)

 

Nothing exciting has happened this week really, My new companion Elder Sanders is freakin sweet! I love him to death and I won't lie I really hope and pray that he is my last companion for I only have 12 weeks left and for the last 4-5 months I have had a new companion every transfer (6 weeks) and it has been getting a little depressing! haha but what happens happenes! This email is late because after we went shopping, we got together with the other 3 sets of missionaries in our unit (2 sets of Elders and a set of Sisters) and played some Volleyball and played a little basketball as well! It was so much fun! But that is why we are so late emailing cause we didn't go and do it first but now we know what to plan for, for next week :)

 

It is getting a bit cold here this last week... I had to bust out my coat yesterday.... that was really lame.. I about froze to death! 0.0 But I was greatful today was a nice day. I have to tell you all this sweet lesson we taught a Less Active guy. Well actually he taught us for a little bit. When we got there, the my companion and the previous Elder invited him to read 1 nephi 7and 8 before we came back. So when we came back he decided to act out the story's instead of just telling them back to us! (this guys is like in his 50s mind you) so he has some T.V and Phone cord and ties up Elder Sanders like Nephi and he tells him, "OK, you've read the story you know what to do!" SO elder Sander breaks out and the Less Active gets down on 1 knee and says, "Oh our brother Nephi, we are so so sorry, please forgive us!" Elder Sanders looks and him and says, "Yeah sure I will forgive ya!" He then proceeds to do the next chapter which talks about the Tree of Life (AKA Lehi's vison) He has laying on the back of a chair a green t-shirt with a tree on it and  a sign next to it that says tree. He then says, " I don't have a rod of iron but I do have a rod!" so he pulls out this very long tree branch with duck tape on it and he holds it to the chair and says, "Come guys, you know what to do!" So we grabbed hold of the rod and headed toward the tree of life, as we got the the tree he ran into the kitchen and brought out apple slices and put them on the chair and said, "Ok guys, partake of the white fruit that tastes so fine!" It was the best lesson of my life! It was so cool to see how people get involed in reading the Book of Mormon!

 

Other that...things are same old same old! I hope you all have a good week and I will see some of yous on the FB!
