So sorry I didn't send out an email yesterday. Totally drove all the way to the library and ,you were right, it was closed.
Crazy good week here in Perth Amboy. But man, is it getting
cold up here in the NE. Leaving the grocery store yesterday, this women made
mention its going to snow the nest day. Sure enough I experienced my first New
Jersey snow this morning!! So pumped, but its so cold. None of it really stuck
to the ground either. But hey it was definitely snowing. Havent gotten that
package yet, mom. Should be getting here soon. I think the mission home has it.
I should get it sometime this week. Until then... I will survive. Ha no Im
okay. But really the humidity shoots the cold straight to my bones. Its
piercing stuff.
So yesterday for P-day we totalyl did have some extra time.
So we totally went and looked around the New Brunswick mall! You know how much
I hate shopping, but it worked out because we were only there for about
an hour. We were just looking for winter clothing and sweaters. And
ties... Ha what else can a missionary shop for? Ha nothing has changed- I didnt
buy anything. But it was fun to look around. Crazy music in there though. I
havent heard so much rap and rock my whole mission. Ha it felt super weird to
me. Missionary mode is settling in! Then we ate an awesome meal at
Chipotle. We randomely saw one of our less actives, Anthony, and he ate
with us. He spend the whole time telling us of his ward stories in Iraq! Crazy
stuff. Then we went to the church and played some hard core basketball. It is
so fun to me now. I used to hate it, but now we play it so much that I am
becoming better so I love it. Then we spent an hour grocery shopping and then
about an hour writing letters. So pretty awesome day. Really nice to get some
exercise.
We had an awesome week with S----- and C-----. We planned on
commiting them to fast with us on Sunday. We got there and she was all for it,
but he did not see how going without food and water would answer his
questions. He said he could do it though, just didnt want too. Ha tough guy
attitude. Well we basically ignored that fact and asked him what he was going
to fast for. He finally accepted and fasted for his wife, daughter, and purpose
in life. At church the next day they came and I have honestly never seen them
in such a happy mood. Thanks for the prayers. They were great. They were
laughing and smiling and even teasing us with thoughts of food. How good does a
burger from that corner store sound right now? - C-----, ha he was loving
it. We broke the fast with them and showed them how much happier they were with
each other and how there was less contention.
Went to Familia Grande's house. They gave me this
wicked hot pepper to eat. They said it wasnt even hot for them. I was in
tears! So fun.
I am doing great. That week flew by! Cant believe it. I
am learning so much. Spanish is getting better. I have been studying and
praying tons! Its a little difficult because we arent fully thrown into it
here. Most of our investigators are Spanish, but there are tons of
English missionaries. SO at district meeting, the whole thing is English.
It takes lots of good work to get it down. I have been doing well.
Love you tons,
Elder Sumsion
