Week 21: Bridgeton NJ


Hey everyone! Well hope everyone had a great Memorial day yesterday the library was closed that's why i am writing today! But everything is going good its pretty crazy at the end up this week it's only 6 months to go. Where is the time going? I really want to work my tail off this last 6 months to have no regrets, plus i should be by now a professional missionary so to say!
 
Well a little whats going on is we were supposed to have that big soccer tournament here in Bridgeton, But i think the city is still a little mad that we got the building to be our church because, it was a bank and they received a lot of tax money now it  being a church the don't get anything, so it was going to get changed to be in Cherry Hill and hour away and like it would be hard to get everyone there so we came up with the idea of that the church has like 5 acres here in bridgeton already bought for a future chapel to built there so we decided to try to do it here. So yesterday we spent 9 HOURS cleaning it up, cutting the grass, figuring out the fields, putting lines down. Not to mention it was 90 degrees then with the humidity lets just say it was HOT! i was dripping in sweat all day! ha ha so that's how we spent our p-day yesterday from 7 to 4 ha ha. But i am excited this week that is coming up we have to go to Cherry Hill but they 3 weeks after we will be here!
 
Well we got 4 people to church this week and it was the first week in the building. I will get some pictures to you guys next week i don't have the cord to hook up my camera. Buts its so nice we are starting to have activities and English classes there. We are definitely blessed. The branch is growing. We had a good week, besides 2 of our baptismal dates went back to Mexico she got really sick! But we have some good things going on! I love this work and i am going to keep working hard and sweating A LOT! but its fun! Love you all thanks for the love and help!
