Hey everyone,
So this week was great, but let me start of by saying that I love my new area. I didn't know anything about it last week and so I had no clue what to expect, but it is a great place (Toms River, NJ). The members are awesome! My new companion Elder Runyan is also awesome (he's about to go home this transfer) so he is very experienced and knows what he is doing. I am learning a ton and the people in this area are super nice and friendly. My new area has the biggest population of Jews outside of Israel (I think it is close to 60% which is cool for everything except missionary work). I miss the Korean language and culture, but I am really excited to be here.
As for this week, we did a fair amount of contacting and we had some solid finds and a few lessons scattered within. The coolest part of the week was finding a few teenagers here in this area this week. We've already had our second lesson with them and they are all very interested. It’s great to have three new investigators for us who are all young men age (which is great for this ward because there are no youth). We are super excited and think things will go really well with them. They are not the average teenagers you meet. They are very interested in finding the correct path so much so that they read the bible for fun together. When I was 15/16, I didn't do that for fun with friends. So they are super great. Their names are Nick, John, and Shaymis. Then we also met some cool people on Saturday names Bruce and Denia who are also great people. So we hope that goes well. We have return appointments with all of these people for this next week so pray that these all go through.
As for other things: there are no Koreans or anything relating to Korea here, so that is unfortunate. My language is going to suffer, but I speak to myself in the mirror a lot for fun and for practice.
Also, I got to FaceTime home yesterday for Mother's Day and got to talk to the best family in the world.
Hope you all have a great week!
-Elder Nickerl
