After emailing, we went off to the park and played some frisbee stuff, had food, and so forth. We then went back to the temple and waited for Elder Potter to get out of his play (he went to go see the Broadway version of Les Miserables, since it's the end of his mission), and then came back to get changed. We then went out for groceries and came home for the night.
Thursday, we did our studies in the morning, and then went to 15th street chapel and had a lesson with Vlad. We then had lunch, and then did a bit of weekly planning, and then went to my doctor's appointment, and then we went to the Farnsworths for dinner. We then walked home from there (got a pretty good tour of the city in the process and talked to several people).
Friday, we did our studies, then went and had a lesson with Andre, and then had lunch, did a little online proselyting, and then had a lesson with a media referral named Stephanie. After her, we had a lesson with Joseph, and then we went home for dinner.
Saturday, we had studies and then went out with Andre and walked his dog with him while teaching him. He's given up on his Word of Wisdom breaking habits, so we asked him to pray about moving up his baptismal date! We then had an APF at Union Square where we talked to people about what they think of Easter and Christ. I got mildly sunburned (thankfully mildly), but it went pretty well. We then had the priesthood leadership and adult sessions of stake conference, and the stake presidency gave some good talks, as well as President and Sister Morgan. The visiting authority was Elder Gordon Smith of the 6th Quorum of the Seventy, and he was also formerly a US Senator from Oregon, so he had some pretty interesting and funny stories. After conference, we went home.
Sunday, we went to conference in the morning, and then we had lunch/correlation meeting at Bro. Barrett's apartment. We then went to an appointment with Anthony and co. and talked with them about service and general conference, and then went home for dinner.
Monday, we did studies and had district meeting, lunch, and then a lesson with Vlad. We then went and did some less active lookups, and actually taught one whose name was Millie. We then trekked over to the west side to check out how we would get to the Statue of Liberty, and passed through a really pretty park to get there. It was also around 70 degrees so it was super nice out, which was fun. We then went home for dinner.
Tuesday, we headed down to the same place we were Monday night to pick up the tickets for going to the statue, and then went up to the 15th street chapel and did studies. After that, we had another lesson with Vlad, did some online proselyting, had lunch, met with the ASL and Spanish sisters, got mail, and then went to dinner at the Gibbons, after which we went home.
Today, we got up and headed to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, which were both really cool and I took lots of pictures. I'll see if I can get to a computer to get those off at some point. Anyhow, hope you guys are having a great week and I'll talk to you later!
Elder Ralph Smith
