Hello there everybody! It has been a crazy fantastic week
here in Yonkers, NY, I've been loving almost every second of it! (: The Spanish
is coming along well, we've taught a TON, and being with the four elders I'm
with is just such a blast, I am so blessed to be with an apartment of dudes
that get along well with each other. Transfers are coming up soon, and I, no
matter what happens, I get to drive next cycle I'm so stoked. I've driven twice
so far, it's exhilarating driving in such a busy place, I love it. I hope
though that none of the elders get transferred, although it will probably
happen. I was in the biggest transfer so far, but they are still coming in!! 28
new ones this cycle, it's going to be crazy and I have no idea how it'll all
work but I have faith. Heck, I may even train! Which is a weird thought haha,
I've only been in the field a month! :0 But I just can't wait to see what
happens.
I have to start off with my blast of a P-Day that I had and
will atttach pics for. We went to Harlem my comp's first area, and it was
great! So busy and so fun, and I got a lot of good deals on sweet stuff. We had
fantastic dollar slice pizza, I got 4 ties for 20 bucks from the tie guy, and
they're gorgeous quality ties, beautiful paislies and polka dots. I also got a
sweet NY hat for like 5 bucks and it's a quality genuine snapback. Anyone
wanting to get good deals on things needs to come here they got everything!
Haha,but it was also of course super rough and walking those streets is
dangerous. But we had a great fun time, and saw and did cool things.
So how did everyone like conference? I loved it, Uchtdorf
and Bednar rocked it, and Packers poem was awesome. And who knew President
Monson was a pyro? The week of General Conference we didn't teach a ton because
people travelled and were with a lot of family and such, it just didn't happen.
However, we're starting the new week off strong. Monday we taught like 8
lessons. 8 OF THEM. Elder Pickard and I went so hard, tracted for a while, and
it was just awesome. Later that night, with the hermanas, we had a dinner appt
with a recent convert member, la familia Paolo (I am starting to transfer
spanish things to english, I just don't even remember some things in english
haha) It's dominic and his wife and they're a wonderful young married with kids
couple who know both languages fluently and prefer to speak in english. It was
an awesome dinner and dominic thinks I'm cool, we both shared in our love for
Dr. Pepper, and now we're tight. A technique of impressing members and
investigators and building relationships off of mutual agreeances is super
important to have in what we do and who we talk with to get them to like you.
Thankfully, I'm in, haha!
Tuesday we went to Judy's and had krispy kremes and cookies
and we talked about her utah trip and she talked to us about all of our moms
that she called haha. We then had our noche de amistad and went home.
Today, we've been sleeping and transferring music to ourr
ipods and doing laundry and sprucing up. Now I'm emailing, haha, and tonight
we'll teach about 3 lessons. I'm just loving it, it's growing on me hardcore
here, but I miss everyone and home as well. By the way, tell Kylee and Bradford
congrats! (: (Kylee is Mitch's cousin that got married last week)
I love you all, keep staying strong and relying on the Lord.
Elder Buckley
