2/27/17--I'm Back

I am so pleased to say I am back in New York! I never thought this day would come but it has! Ahhh I am so happy!!! To be honest there are days where I feel like I have never left New York. I have been here the whole time. Anyways y'all are most likely dying to know where I am and what I am doing. So I am now in Flushing with Hermana Williams (my trainer) and Sister Wuthrich. I am so excited to be with Hermana Williams again she is the bomb!!! As I come to know Sister Wuthrich she as well is the bomb.com!!!! Sister Wuthrich is from Utah, she has been on her mission for about 9 months now. She is a English speaking missionary so when we speak Spanish she knows little of what is going
on. Overall she is super cool!!!

So this week has been fun!! I am loving being back in New York. The city is for sure a different kind of pace. We walk everywhere and take the bus when we can! Hopefully I will be in shape by the end of my time here. This week the day after I got back I had exchanges!!! So we went with the Sister Training leaders and meet and talked with a bunch of people. I have to say I was a little out shape on the missionary department. I have gotten better but it was still a little rusty. A couple funny moments was one when Hermana Williams found a dog on a roof. The poor dog we asume he just climbed out the window. As well we talked to their recent convert about dating and about first dates. He is a big gentleman. Then because there is five of us we decided we are like the Scooby-do gang. So I was Freddy because I was the biggest blonde. So we took pictures dressed up as our character. Then the next day Sister Wuthrich tried catching a bird so she could pet it but people kept walking by so it took forever. Then we missed a couple bus stops and walked more than expected. Then we visited one of our member in a hospital who got sick and she asked us to sing to her. So we awkwardly sang a song for her. Then we got caught in the rain for a little bit and had fun! Oh yeah and for my year mark on Friday we went to this crepe place!!! Oh so good!!!!

It was awesome the most spiritual moment of my week was we are working with a recent convert and we were talking about repentance. I realized that God tells us what we can change because he loves us and can see potential in us. He knows who we can become. If he didn't think we could become more he wouldn't tell us what we could change. It just made me realize how much God loves us and wants us to become like Him. I know God loves each and everyone of you and wants you to become the best you there is. I love y'all!!!
