Letter #22 - Week 24- The Only Thing I Really Know About Connecticut is that Yale is There and That I Only Know from Gilmore Girls ft. A Trio of Trios

March 4, 2019






Hola Everyone!

Tomorrow I will be kicked out of Queens and headed for Stamford, Connecticut. My new companions will be Hermana Hopkins and Hermana Cahill, and with them I will have officially been in a trio longer than a duo on my mission. I'm excited to be there. Stamford is Hermana Tua'one's old area, and Hermana Hopkins is Hermana Jensen's old companion. Hermana Cahill is from Hermana Jensen's home stake, so everyone already knows everyone! Hermana Walker will be training a new missionary with Hermana Van Woerkom here in Flushing. Two of the areas in our district closed, the English Elders and the Korean Sisters. Elder Kang Junior and Elder Hwang are staying as the Korean Elders, with Elder Kang Senior going to Brooklyn. Sister Lee and Elder Jeong are going to Manhattan, Sister Park is staying here in Queens, and Elder Joy is returning home. All of the Korean missionaries are going to YSA areas, so they're all having a little YSA party.

Flushing Fun Facts (and whatever else I want to say about it) :

-According to what a member looked up on Google one time, Flushing has a population of about 70,000 people
-Old Chinese ladies are the funniest when you say hi to them in the street
-I'm going to miss cute Korean stores everywhere #ispentalotofmoneytoday
-The Korean Sisters helped me be cuter and give better gifts
-Being packed in a bus like little sardines is actually kind of fun sometimes
-Asian, Hispanic, and Jewish babies are all the cutest
-Jewish Honey makes for tasty chocolate chip cookies
-Chinese bakeries are goodness
-Korean food is awesome minus the seafood
-Kosher pizza is good
-There is a place for Flushing in Heavenly Father's heart

Today I get to help take the brand new missionaries street contacting down in Jamaica! It'll be my last great city moment before I head up north.

This morning I finished the Book of Mormon for another time. Each time I read Moroni 10 I can feel the Spirit so strongly. It is Moroni's farewell, his last chance to bare his testimony before the plates are hidden for the last time. I have prayed again according to Moroni's promise, and I know that The Book of Mormon is the word of God. As we grow our faith day by day, we will be able to endure all things. I know that God is our loving Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is His son and our brother. He is the Savior and Reedemer of the world. I know that Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon and he was a living prophet. I know that Russell M Nelson has that same authority from God.

Moroni 10:3-5

3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.

¡Les Amo!

-Hermana Prue

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

Image
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...

January 13, 2020 Hola Everyone! 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 ...
