Kingsbridge #24

Hello lovely family! 

So this week has flown by like no other! We have been keeping as busy as ever. This week we have 24 SET appointments and two splits in which we have to travel back and for from Olmstead. We picked up more new investigators and more referrals. We have way more work than we can keep up with. Several people complain that they don't get to see us as much as they would like. We apologize and show them our schedule and tell them we would see the. More often if we could! 

We had a really fun ward BBQ. I are way too much food and then played soccer right after. But despite feeling like a was going to burst, I scored all our teams point but one. And that point was assisted by me. I've still got some soccer skills in me :) 

I had a super fun split this week with sister Anderson who is a brand new missionary. She is Spanish speaking, serving in Olmstead. We laughed so hard the whole day. It was a blast. :) I love my calling as sister training leader. It is so much fun to get to know the sisters. It is really rewarding to help newer missionaries progress, gain confidence, and understand what it means to be a successful missionary. 

So exciting news, sister Lopez and I bought tickets on Friday to see wicked today!!! We bought tickets for 91 dollars that were originally going for 250+ dollars!!! I am literally the front row seat! (It is the furthest swat to the left, but that is nothing to complain about!!) it is also a blessing because I don't have glasses still and can't see. I thought I would just be listening to a play, but I will get to see it!! :) 

Then Thursday we have a zone conference about going back to the basics. I am super pumped for it. I love President and Sister Morgan. I truly, truly love them. I love having any chance to hear from them and to be uplifted and inspired. Then Friday/Saturday we have another split then church on Sunday and then BAM we are into the last full week of this cycle. I literally cannot believe it. It's gonna go super fast because we have two splits this week and two next week. 

Natsha is progressing super well! She is the most excited investigator I have ever had for baptism! She looks up things on LDS.org in her spare time, comes to service with us Tuesdays, meets us three times a week, she wants to serve a mission and do temple work and she is just awesome. She will be baptized sept 13th :) 

Novella and her daughter are also progressing well. We had the most hilarious lesson on the law of chastity with them. Hahah it is really hard to describe over email but we had a really good laugh during that lesson. 

We aren't able to get in with everyone else as often as we would like, but we can only do so much. The biggest struggle is fitting everyone into our schedule. We have people organized by their area. It is difficult because the Bronx is big! It probably takes 1.45-2 hours by bus,train ect to get all the way across. So we group the appointment by the area and you hope they can meet at that time! It is a good problem to have, I just hope no one slips in between the cracks. 

Well family, I love you a whole lot. I hope all is going well with everything! 

Love a Sister Lounsbury
