Letter #8 - Week 10- Falling for Fall 2018

November 26, 2018










Hola everyone!

This past week stared off with a bang with visiting Mets Stadium and the Unisphere. I don't know much about baseball or the United States Steel Corporation, but it was in a pretty park it made for some fun pictures.

The weather has been getting lots colder, and with my hands in my pocket there wasn't much I could do to catch my fall when tripped on the way to visit someone we're teaching on Monday Evening. Luckily, I had the small first aid kit from the new missionary meeting the week before, and we were able to clean it up a bit before continuing on the rest of the night.

Wednesday we had exchanges and I stayed in Flushing with Hermana Masoe. We took pictures with the Chinese ladies.

Thanksgiving was very pleasant. We went to a dinner a member and a lot of her family, then some ladies in the ward had a dinner for us at the church.

Friday we taught Randy (we found him at a bus stop my first day in the field) at the chapel. We taught him about the plan of Salvation and had him pray with us. He prayed with all the energy of heart it talks about in the scriptures in order to access the atonement of Jesus Christ in our lives.

We went out with one of the members from the branch. Her name is Kat and she is an incredible missionary! I tried sushi for the first time on Saturday I didn't like it, but it was a good experience.

I know the the gospel of Jesus Christ is the path to peace and happiness in this life and in the life to come. As we turn to Christ in our trials, He will succor us perfectly.

Mosiah 7:33

33 But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.

With love,

Hermana Prue

Letter #17 - Week 19: Basically All Pictures I've Ever Sent Home Were Taken or Initiated by Hermana Jensen

January 28, 2019 Hola Everyone! This Tuesday I left Hermana Jesen in a parking lot and navigated the relatively short distance home with my two new companions. It's been interesting seeing how they do missionary work and figuring out how we're going to do missionary work together. They have been enjoying all of the Asian people though, so this transfer should remain as exciting as ever. Several weeks ago a Chinese missionary handed me a stack of their Christmas cards because they didn't want to deal with them. I put one on the refrigerator, but after that I just stuck them in my purse with my pass-along cards and kind of forgot about it. A few weeks back I decided I might as well use them and started showing them as an approach for talking to Chinese people, usually just giving them an English class card after. It's been kind of fun to do that, but this week it didn't work as planned. We were riding down an elevator 10 floors with a Chinese lady,...

Letter #33 - Week 35: I Guess I Just Have That Country Bumpkin Vibe, Maybe It's The Food In My Hair

May 20, 2019 Hola Everyone! This week was a week of miracles! It was our best proselytizing week of the transfer, and we met such a sweet soul. Her name is Mirella, and she is dating a member of the YSA ward. We decided to look her up a couple of weeks back, and she wasn't home. I apparently called her, but I only kind of remember it and obviously forgot about it. We then went to look her up again and she turned out to be one of the coolest people ever! On our first real lesson she looked at a calendar and decided that June 15th was a good day to be baptized. We couldn't agree more! She is so prepared to start living more fully the Gospel of Jesus Christ in her life. It is going to bless her so much, so stay tuned. We saw lots of huge miracles with little José this week. I now have a greater testimony that through the small efforts of many that Heavenly Father works His greatest miracles. As we put our best foot forward in faith, God will make much more of our ef...

Events of the week: -Zone Conference -Exchanges with Sister Zornes -Ward Conference -Crazy awesome progrese with our people -The finding famine continues South Brooklyn hiked up to a balmy 67° F Sunday, January 12th with a pleasant breeze accompaning our Sunday afternoon walk home from church. Ive never experienced those harsh New England winters they always seem to talk about, but still bracing myself I guess. Ward Conference had some wonderful spiritual insights. To our delight, the stake president did some leadership training about member missionary work coordination and it was lots of fun to be with them while they were learning. Fun thing just happened. Hermana Haws and I were waiting for the bus coming home from shopping when Hermana Haws made eye contact with a lady holding a microphone and she asked to interview us asking us dental questions. It was low key awkward but fun #ifyoucanmakeitinnycyoucanmakeiyanywhere This ...
