Serenity in Saliency

Greetings

It's the end of the transfer here in the New York Rochester Mission. Elder Harvey and I are staying together but a lot of things are changing here in buffalo. The sisters are leaving Kenmore and we are moving into their apartment. Our area is going to be huge now and we still use public transport but we have a car to get to the metro station. We still have no idea when we are moving or what is going on but it's going to be good. 

I am always pretty tired after we get home from the day but this week was something else. We found ourselves in one of the worst parts of our areas at 9 at night in 15 degree quiet snowfall one night about two hours away from home...
Another night there was a huge lightning blizzard that went over all of Buffalo and we happened to be walking around at the bottom of our area that evening. So we were in the rim of where the snow hits the hardest because of the lake. 
We had exchanges this weekend too and I got to go with Elder Hershey for one last time. He is going down to cattaraugus branch now.

The woman, Angel, was able to come to church finally. We walked with her to church from the train and I sat with her in sacrament. After church she literally asked us to baptize her so she is on date for baptism in January now. :(

Anaklet also finally made it to church on time. My companion taught him on exchanges and he is still so stalwart with his questions.

The Cotto family is still sick.

This area is completely different then when I first got put in here. The area book was pretty trashed when Elder Vizcaino and I first started. This is big area for walking, and it has more people in it then my two past areas combined. As we have worked and striven to be obedient to all The commands given to us from The Spirit of God we have been led to the people that God wanted to teach. The best way to forget yourself is to never remember yourself in the first place.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

Our Christmas tree is still in the box because no way I'm doing extra work.
