Another awesome week in Astoria! Busy... but awesome. We had a pretty
crazy family home evening on Monday. We were teaching a less active
woman about family home evening last week when she invited the member
with us over to help her have one. The member was like are you sure?
I have 5 kids and your apartments pretty small... but she insisted. So
we crowded 13 people in 1 TINY apartment for a joint family home
evening. It was craziness. I was so glad I had the FHE games you
sent me mom. We played the one about making choices correct choices
to get to heaven and the kids LOVED it. They were so cute clapping
for each other when one made the right choice. The ice cream after
was madness. 13 people... 4 bowls..... 7 crazy kids... you get the
picture.
On Wednesday Sister Joseph went to the temple so guess who I got to be
companions with for the day... Sister Lugo! It was the best. Reunited
at last. We had some great ellipticals this week. At one we had a
table set up with family proclamations and church dvds. It was funny
to see peoples reaction when they found out they were free. It was
super cool though to be able to explain the family proclamation and
bear my testimony on families. Families are the best! We also had a
shoe shining elliptical on Saturday. It was so cool to watch other
missionaries shining shoes and to think of Christ washing his
disciples feet. Talk about the ultimate act of service. I love being
a representative of Christ. I have never felt his presence stronger
in my life. I feel privileged to be serving here in New York- I love
the people here so much and have already met so many individuals who
have changed my life. I feel so blessed. Thanks for supporting me :) I
love you all!
Till Next week,
Sister Robertson
P.S. You know you are living in New York when you start having dreams
that pigeons are flying at your head and wake up swatting them...
yep... that happened.
