Hey everybody! So, Binghamton which is my new area is so sweet! There are so many people to talk to, so we have no problem with finding people! There are a ton of less actives in this area about 500 compared to the 150-200 active members. That means we do a good amount of less active work. Instead of having an apartment here we have a whole house, it is so nice! My new companion is Elder Neddo and he is cool guy! We have gotten along great and we have been doing so good here already in this area!
So, we had a pretty sweet experience that happened this week. We were OYMing (open your mouth) in town and we talked to these two guys and shared the restoration with them real quick and gave them each a Book of Mormon. We got their address and two days later we tried it. Well a lady answered the door and told us that she has never heard of the guys we had met two days previous. Well we started talking to her and she invited us in and after meeting with her for a little bit she said that twenty years ago when she was 11 she used to meet with missionaries and she had read some of the Book of Mormon before. Well we got to teach her the restoration and she told us that she wanted us to teach her kids and also asked where our church was, so we gave her the address. We also gave her a Book of Mormon and she said she would love to read it. I thought this was such a cool experience and only being here for a few days. I know the Lord prepares people for us to teach and help them see the truth. It is such a blessing and privilege to be able to help them come closer to their Father in heaven. I love you all and I will update you some more next week. Also, I haven't taken any pictures yet, but I will make sure to next week!
