Our first week in New York

Well, we have arrived in New York City. We arrived about a week ago on a very snowy day. Driving through Manhattan was just funny. We made several mistakes and met a couple of police officers. They were very nice to us, though, as they helped us get out of jams. We have now arrived in Brooklyn and have begun our missionary work. We are working with young adults throughout the Brooklyn Stake. Each week we teach three institute classes in three different chapels in the stake. Two classes are mostly Hispanic students, so I get to practice my Spanish. I have also been called as the first counselor in the Park Slope YSA branch. So we will be busy. We love working with the young people and sharing the gospel. We have a wonderful apartment on the 10th floor with a good view of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. We will also like to get to work in the temple one day a week. If we can just know which subways to take to get there! We have met many nice people and love to work with them. The young elders and sisters also really sharp. There is a lot of enthusiasm in this mission. We love the work!
