First off, thank you for all your birthday wishes. I much appreciated them all. Being 19 doesn't really feel different. People still think I look 16. I'm just waiting for next birthday when I will only have four weeks left on my mission and people will realize that I came out super young. I also don't think there are any other things that now become legal for me to do or buy at this age.
As my companion is going home next week, there have been various end-of-mission events he has been doing recently. And, to save on vehicle miles and allow more work to get done, we have been doing splits with a couple other elders in the area who are going home, and I have been staying in my own area with their companions. I am currently with elders Paiz and Lyons as our companions are going to the Manhattan temple with President Morgan.
This past week has been a little rough in terms of the work, as we haven't really been able to meet with any of our main investigators. Tracting also hasn't been super effective for us lately as well. But, there are still a lot of good things happening with the members. Samuel Porter, who was baptized when I first got here to Newburgh (I wasn't involved in his investigator phase) has had his Catholic wife sit in on two of our lessons. Richard Perkowski is still building his faith and is preparing to receive the Aaronic Priesthood.
Love you all,
Elder Ryan Turner
New York New York North Mission
