The Lord Always Provides!

This has been a long week, but the Lord is always there waiting to pour out miracles on us! The biggest thing that happened was the worksite missionary broadcast, where it was announced that there would be a schedule change and now only four key indicators! Crazy, I know! Now there's no more daily planning at night (not gonna lie, I was pretty excited about that one, I would always fight falling asleep). It basically gives us more flexibility about when we do our studies and planning. I'm super pumped for it!

This week has provided a lot of miracles. So first off, JUAN. Juan is our fabulous SPANISH investigator. You heard that right, SPANISH. Oh, it was so nice giving a lesson in Spanish. I hadn't done that since the MTC. Anyway, he moved from Orlando and before that Puerto Rico. He doesn't speak much English, and is technically in the Newark South sisters area, but because I speak Spanish they handed him off to us. He is such a nice guy, and really interested in learning more. He says
he felt like he has needed this in his life, as his wife left him. We'll be seeing him soon!

The Lord has also blessed us with the miracle that is Chelsea. A member in the ward texted us that she had a friend who wanted to take the missionary lessons. So we zip over to the church building where we meet Chelsea. She is seventeen and has been going through a rough time. She had to grow up pretty fast and lived on her own when she was sixteen. She doesn't know much about Jesus Christ, but she sure does want to. During the lesson she asked US if she could be baptized. Me and Sister Moberly were like.....uh, DUH. But in a much more spiritual way.

Aaron and Christina had their baby!!! We spent a good piece of the week helping them finish their house. Here is a picture of Aaron with baby Jacob!

Some other things that we did this week. We went to Sodus, which is kind of like the Naples of Newark. It's pretty far, so we only go there once a week. We volunteered at a library there where we organized books and stumbled across this beauty:

We also had zone conference! That was a lot of fun, and definitely a needed spiritual boost! President Evans is such an amazing person and I'm very grateful he is our mission president! We also did service at a place called Food Link, we basically gave out food to those who need it. We didn't know it was outside though and we didn't come prepared, we were all freezing. Afterwards we gathered

in the car, took our shoes off, and put our toes against the heaters. Here's a blurry picture of that!

I don't have many more pictures of this week.

Here's a picture in Wegmans, which is a famous grocery store here in NY. Mr. Wegman was apparently a very happy fellow.

Anyway, I love you all! Thank you for your prayers and your love! Have a great

week!
