PDAY!

Natural History Museum.

I think that sums it up pretty well... lol we did the usual, laundry, groceries... when we finished lunch we went to the NHM. Where we stayed for most of Pday, came home for dinner and went to work! My sickness/cold whatever it is seems to be getting worse. But the work must go on!

Day 332 in NY

Weekly planning

Again, another routine day, feeling a little worse this morning we stayed home and planned and rested and went to go see M, and I felt even worse after that, so we came home and I slept... I hate staying home and not being able to work.

Friday, Day 346

Day 333 in NY

Now my companion is sick and my roommates, the ZL's are starting to get sick, and we have all day planned today. So we went with it, we hurt and ached and probably shouldn't have gone out, but we needed to, so we did! We visited this guy name H B in Central Park, and then met this kid walking away from our appointment, we taught him about the Book of Mormon and gave him a copy. We then made our way to go see P then N.  After these visits we went to Sister D's and ate dinner. Still feeling so sick we went home and passed out early.

Saturday, Day 347

Day 334 in NY

During lunch we checked the phone and missed a call from the elders in my district. I listened to the voicemail and it was one of the elders, he said something along the lines of "we need you to come over as soon as possible,"  For about an hour we talked and we made goals and plans to help their situation, and everything seemed to be a lot better after that.  A couple hours later we left their apartment and went to the church for an appointment. A pass off lesson with the Sisters in our Ward and their investigator J. That was pretty interesting, he says he prefers English, when we struggled to understand what he was saying, we told him about the Spanish missionaries and that they could meet with him and that would be best, but he insisted that he met with us. Again still feeling pretty sick and Elder Gentry getting worse we called it a day and went home for the night.

Sunday, Day 348

Day 335 in NY

After church we met with M just briefly. After coming home for lunch, we wrote our testimonies in a couple copies of the Book of Mormon for a gift to J & E. When we finished that, we had dinner and began cleaning out area book. We did that and made a lot of people we contacted and did this to the end of the night.

Monday, Day 349

Day 336 in NY

Our focus this week was on cleaning out our area book and starting fresh with our teaching pool, we felt that seeing the same people each week on a routinely schedule was getting no where. So we had an appointment with an investigator the YSA sisters passed off to us and found that he lived in the Bronx so we set him up with the Missionaries over there. After this appointment we came home for lunch, cleaned out area book for a couple hours had dinner and went to go see D to end our night.

Tuesday, Day 350

Day 337 in NY

Mommas birthday!

We started our day off by going to Columbia University and did an APF. We planned on only being there an hour and a half, but we ended up having more time than we thought, we worked from about 3-5:30pm. Our APF was done with the world map, but the sisters and the other elders had appointments they needed to get to so Elder Gentry and I got stuck carrying the board home. And at this point, I've been without a metro card for the last week... because the barcode was scratched and wouldn't read my card, so we walked a mile home carrying this 5'x8' board up and down the street till we got to our apartment, where we thought we could put in in the elevator with us... turned out, it's too big... so up the stairs, 8 flights we went... weaving in and out of hallway doors to each floor trying to get this board upstairs. After about 15 minutes of this we made it up the stairs and we put it in our apartment. Being sick and completely out of energy once again, we were home bound...
