Part 2: Week 33--Home soon

Busy getting ready to come home but trying to stay focussed. Just three more weeks.

Angela and Elisha went to get married but got there at the wrong time apparently. So we will postpone the baptism until the next week or two. Sister Bandeaux wants to postpone it until May 6th for some reason . I will try to be logic but faithful at the same time. I have to be an influence for good!

There is good in the work. I'm thankful for the spiritually guided transfers I've had in the mission field. Consecrated missionary work!

Joseph said, "It takes 3 days to get baptized, right? Because I'm looking to get baptized." He's so cute and sincere (his mom is a recent convert who just moved here from Missouri. He and his mom read the book of Mormon together! They will be getting a ride from Rye on Sunday.

Part 2: Week 32--Always miracles, even if unwritten

Angela and Elisha have a wedding planned for next Saturday and a baptism planned as well! The relief society are helping put together the wedding. Angela also brought a friend to church.
Mamale is going to the temple this Saturday with some of the ward members and with her own names. 

My new companion is really great and funny.

Part 2: Week 31--Who rocks New Roc? (我)

Area is doing great! Mamale brought her friend Purity to conference. She loved it. We taught her the restoration in between sessions and invited her to watch with the question if this was Christ's true restored church on earth and to say a prayer in her heart. Afterwards, she told us the answer to her question was yes! But that she needed to learn more! It was such a miracle, and we are so thankful that this sweet recent convert us actively sharing the joy of the gospel that she found, with those she loves. We are glad we taught her how simple missionary work is when we went street contacting with her! She says she is so excited to support her friend as she learns more of the truth of Christ's gospel!!

Angela and Sister Sainbert's family came to general conference as well. It was so sweet to see them all there. And we are so happy to have learned that Angela's family visiting lead to Elisha (her husband) getting the help he needs (to live gospel fully)!! Her and our prayers have been answered. Heavenly Father is bringing everything into alignment for this family. It is amazing to be a part of the work. We now plan on having Bishop Neilson meet Elisha and Matai and Angela want to do everything possible to still be baptized on April 22. They are so grateful and even remember the scripture stories we read them (in church they get excited when they recognize it)! She is on a road trip right now to North Carolina.

General Conference was so powerful! I loved the talks on receiving revelation. 

My new companion, Sister Bandeaux, is so sweet and fun! Love her so much already. I recognize that God leads His work and gives divine revelation and inspiration to His called leaders. Staying in New Rochelle and being with these missionaries feels right. I'm at peace. And my companion also went to BYUH! I also, cried and couldn't stop telling Sister Au how much she means to me when I found out she was going to Chinatown. I love her with all my heart! She will always be special to me! So many amazing and kind and diligent missionaries in this mission. Thankful.
