Loving life here in New Jersey!

We met some cool people this week:

Eileen: we were looking for service and saw a nice women struggling with bags of groceries, we helped her get her stuff up to her apartment and asked if she had ever seen missionaries like us before. She then told us that she was baptized into our church over 20 years ago and was recently praying for direction in life and felt like we were god sent. Everything happens for a reason. 

Renee and Genesis: two really cool people we ran into, we taught them the beginning of the plan of salvation, they were interested in having us come and teach them and their families. Looking forward to it!

Update on Rasheem and Jennifer: they came to church! And they loved it 😊 looking forward to meeting wit them on Wednesday.

Update on Rashee: we haven't been able to meet with him in a couple weeks but it is because he has been super busy with school, football, and work. He came to church and told us that he is quitting work because he needs to make God a priority in his life. He wants to find a job that will honor his Sunday devotions. He is so awesome!

Update on Gillian: she is doing well! She is meeting with the bishop on Thursday so that they can get to know each other. Things are moving 😊 we stopped by while she was at work to surprise her haha (picture included)

Update on Shruthi:I don't know if I talked about her before but a couple of weeks ago we contacted this guy named Ashok, he was atheist but he said his friend would be interested. Her name was Shruthi, she was super cool and loved the lesson, we found out she lives a half a street into the hieghts area so we passed her off the those elders, she has taken all of the discussions and is getting baptized. Every week at church she comes up to me and tells me the countdown to the baptism next week and gives me an update on what she learned. She was so prepared it's crazy!

At church Brother Murphy (they guy we used to help read every week) came up and told us that he has been missing us since they split the area. He is so awesome (picture included)

I just love it out here! If you have any questions about what I believe or what I do out here, please feel free to shoot me an email! 

Love you all,
