November 6, 2017 - Big Changes... - Canandaigua, NY

Hey ya'll!  It was a fantastic week in New York!  Big things happening here! So the big news:
- Elder Hardy and I were released as Zone Leaders and both called as District Leaders.
- Elder Hardy is going to Buffalo
- My new companion is... a trainee! I will be getting him on Wednesday.

Monday was a day full of tracting. We had lots of good conversations and found a guy named Dieter. We set a return appointment. That night all of our appointments fell through so we did some gnarly high rise apartment tracting. As we knocked on this door the guy opened and we began to help him feel the love of god. As we were testifyjng a lady walked in and was going into her apartment right next door and before I could think, my feet were already moving and my mouth was already talking to her. This was one of the coolest, most spirit-filled contacts I've had on my mission, Christine broke down and was saying how lost she felt and how just an hour earlier she was looking things up about higher powers. She invited us back and we will be seeing her tonight!

Tuesday was a great Halloween! We pounded the pavement from 2-5 and had to be in the apartment by 6. Dieter didn't show for his return appointment, so it was a good 3 hours of knocking doors. Haha growing is the best.

Wednesday we had district meeting, we had a surprise visitor... Sister Evans came and sat in! It was great! We had a FaceTime interview by President Evans. That night we had a couple lessons in some apartments in Farmington and they all fell through so we did some more door knocking and the first door we knocked on, the guy says, "oh, I'm already Mormon. Come on in." Haha we read the Book of Mormon with him and now we are going to begin working with him! We had a lesson with Chris. She's lovin' the gospel and the blessings from it!

Thursday we had a lesson with Brother Schwab and then did weekly planning and had a good time! Then we did some tracting across an anti church and got hardcore antied 3 times and got the cops 🚓 called on us. Haha it was great! We had a lesson with Colleen. She's doing so good! She's quite smoking and and loving the church and Book of Mormon. It's so cool to she her change!

Friday we had mission leadership council meeting! Some of the best trainings I have ever received by President. He talked a lot about repentance and how it is a path to a more glorious future. How true that is. It was good to be with all the Zone Leaders! After the meeting President pulled Elder Hardy and I aside and released us, and
called us to be District Leaders! I'll do whatever the lord wants me to do. Even if I feel like I'm not good enough, cause I know the lord has qualified me. After the meeting we had exchanges with the Penn Yan elders. Elder Griener, my old companion came to Canandaigua with me! It was good to be with him and see how much we both have grown! We had a lesson with Adam Record and his girlfriend. They are returning members and super cool! We had dinner than did some finding, we had a lesson with a part-member family and we put the mom on date for
December 9th! We ended the night tracting and met Ralph who let us in and accepted a return appointment!

Saturday was a cold slow day! We did some tracting in the morning and saw Colleen, we taught her tithing and she loved it! We did some more finding and exchanged back! It was great day! We went to Bloomfield and saw a couple friends there! We invited Lesta to be baptized and she accepted! We also tracted into another less active who said he needs the church in his life. It was so awesome!

Sunday was a good day. We did lots of finding and didn't see much from it expect getting drenched!  We had 4 people at church tho! It was awesome!

I love you all thank you for the support! ❤️

Love,
Elder Judy
