Email - First Few Days With My New Greenie

Weekly update for September 18 - 24th

First week with my new greenie.

So about my greenie, his name is Elder Williams from Sandy, Utah. He loves marching band. He is also a genius! Nicest guy and ready to work.

Elder Diewald will be missed. He was a great guy. 

Since Elder Williams is my first greenie.  Let me explain how it all took place. 

Tuesday morning came and Elder Diewald and I drove over to the Short Hills chapel. I had to sit in a room with all the trainers and greenies and watch some safety videos. When it came time for transfers the greenies were not in the gym and exciting like normal. They were in the chapel and very reverent. I was assigned my greenie and we headed home. When we got home, I had my comp look at a map and pray to ask where we should go. He said he felt we should go knock Autumn Street. So, we did. We found a couple really cool people to teach. Although my comp is brand new in the field, his Spanish is very good. Being the wizard he is, he studied very hard in the MTC.

 Also he is deathly allergic to cashews and pistachios... poor boy. Best two nuts.

Mel took us out to DQ so that was a good time! It's the first time I've had it on the mission. 

The elote man at the top of our area also gave us elotes. Good man.

On Friday I had a meeting in Morristown since I'm district leader. All the newly called leaders went there to have a training. I left my greenie with the other Passaic Elders. The lunch we got was pretty good and I got to see Elder Marz! 

We have begun teaching a few super awesome families and we have gotten a couple members to help us teach. Having members in lessons makes such a big difference! Get involved in missionary work. Ask the missionaries if you can teach with them.

That's about all I have time to write about this week! But I did finally get a picture of a church in our area! Hope you like this church. Also I only have like 2 pics of my "son" aka greenie.  I love you all and work with the missionaries.
