I love to be back in NY!!!

 I love being back! My Ward is awesome. we are Concourse ward. lots of dominicans. 

mostly dominicans actually.. in my side of the bronx, there are 2 spanish wards and 1 

english ward. its kinda funny! Elder Vasquez is so cool tho.

 

.WE'VE HAVE BEEN WORKING SO HARD!!

we have 3 people who we think are ready to be committed to baptism.. so 

next time we see them we are definitely gonna be inviting them. but yeah. Elder 

vasquez is from Mexico! so we're two mexicans, we both speak fluent spanish, and 

everyone in the ward loves us haha he's 26, almost 27. so he has a little bit more of 

life experience than i do.. and his spanish is better than mine because he came here 

when he was a teenager.. but we get along super good and have been working super 

hard! it's the first time on my mission where we've been too busy to knock doors.. 

we just have a ton of appointments! we hope to keep it this way.. 

i have to tell you guys that i am so lucky to be in THIS mission. You guys know what 

preach my gospel is right? our book that helps us know what to teach and how to teach 

it? well the guy who wrote preach my gospel came to our mission and trained us on 

how to be better missionaries and all this other stuff and it was INCREDIBLE. 2 out of the 

3 guys who run the missionary department were there helping us.. that was why i couldn't 

email on wednesday, because my zone got the training on that day so we had to change 

our p.day! and then yesterday all of the zone leaders in the mission got to come and receive 

the training along with some other missionaries, and i got chosen to go again.. so i got 2 

full days of training.. and what they showed us was so simple but so powerful and just 

changed the way of thinking for all of us who were there.. so the night after the first 

training, our zone committed 7 people to get baptized.. in one night. 7! thats a lot! at 

least for our mission/area. and the next day we got two more.. and i think by next week 

me and elder vasquez will add another 3.. we are praying! but it was amazing. the head 

of the missionary department right now was actually the mission president in mesa, so i 

talked to him a little while about our stake and stuff.. it was cool! but yeah.. i'm doing 

so good haha working hard.. loving my ward. and dad, you going out with the missionaries 

is paying off because now i have someone coming with us to almost every single 

appointment! so thank you ha ohhhh also, my area is super small compared to my last 

one, but it's awesome. and yankee stadium is literally like 2 blocks from my apartment.. 

so if i walk down the street i can see it.. pretty cool right? so yeah. i don't know what 

else to say haha I love you guys so much.
