It was definitely not the most fun lugging a full Bronx cart and two big bags of groceries in the heat this morning. But, it saves us a $13 taxi ride, so it is worth it. The five of us go through a ton of food.
Training Elder Bell so far has been great. He knows the gospel well, and is very willing to learn and improve. His ASL skills of signing and understanding are fairly good, though, like all missionaries, he still has a lot to learn. He and I are getting along really well, which has been a nice change from some of the difficulties I have had with my last companions. They are still here training Elder Tipiani together, so I still see them daily, but right now things are a lot better. It's fun for me to see and hear the two new guys experience things I first experienced a year ago.
The week is still a little slow, though we did find a new investigator last week. He said he would be at church, but didn't show, so hopefully we will be able to actually meet for our lesson this Friday. I hope that with now two ASL areas once again and the unity and faithfulness of our companionship that the Lord will bless our efforts.
Things should continue to improve. Love you all.
