Farewell to the falls

Our week in the falls was great. We got to meet with this awesome woman named Emily a couple times and teach her the first three lessons. And now we are helping her read from the book of Mormon and come to church. She has a little girl named Zelda. I'm excited to hear about what happens with them. 

I got transferred into Batavia which is the area above Warsaw. I'm companions with Elder Thompson who was being trained here when I was in Warsaw, and Elder Merling who was trained by one of the kids that trained me. From what I hear the branch is awesome.

Happy thanksgiving!

Niagara Falls

We went to the falls today so I have some pictures of the horseshoe falls this time. I saw a raccoon asleep up in a tree but I didn't take a picture. 

We had stake conference this week. It went well. Brother Bruce Strasburg from our ward spoke and everything he does it imbued with charity and hope so that was powerful. 

We have been teaching a woman with a little girl named Zelda. It's felt quite inspired. Other then that we are just having a great time on the brisk streets of New York.

What happened to Hallows Eve?

Well it was another week in Niagara falls.

While there was more decor and festivities up here then in Buffalo last year, New York has really let me down with their Halloween activity. The Niagara falls ward even got rid of their Halloween party and are doing a "fall festival" instead...

There were some good decorations though so it wasn't completely off.

Elder Kervin had to go on a special assignment again to Lancaster to help Elder Winward so we are missing our companion again this week.

We are continuously talking to people all the time but I don't really have anyone to report on. 

Here was our makeshift cake from my mother.

Response to another email:

We were supposed to be home by 6 on Halloween but we didn't have miles and we scheduled an appointment at 6:30 so we had to walk home after so we were still out til 8. Thanks for the pizza but we don't look at emails throughout the week so we had no idea about it. But luckily our neighbor kept it for us til we got home.

The boots are fine thanks they are already water proof but the spray will definitely help my companions. The day that the boots got here it started raining and it didn't stop until about yesterday so it was right on time. It's to bad I missed the Cannon's haunt. I do miss good horror.
