Ryan's Uncle Scott (Tom's brother) and Aunt Tara were in NYC last week. They took Ryan and his companion to lunch and texted me a picture!
It has been quite warm and humid this past week. I have been sweating a lot more than usual. One time when I looked, NYC was hotter than Mesa, AZ for a little bit! The temperature I can get over, it's just the humidity that kills.
Church attendance was pretty good this Sunday. A beloved member that moved a while back visited, which drew a few more than normal. We also had a missionary farewell for a deaf young woman from the branch going to Salt Lake City West, and her hearing family came. They aren't members, and have a lot of concerns with her leaving, and the sisters are trying to resolve them. I am confident that the Lord will provide in this matter.
The work was slightly better this week, as we meet with a few people we haven't seen in a while. But, things are still a bit slow, which means a lot of trying to find old potentials and less-actives. I am getting to see more of the city that way. For some weird reason, walking through the sketchy parts of Manhattan and the Bronx doesn't phase me, and yet Midtown is completely out of my comfort zone. I'm used to going up large government-run apartment buildings for low-income people known as "projects," but facing a doorman in a nice, lower Manhattan building is not up my alley. One could say my view of viewing the city is different than most. But, I love it all the same.
