Little Neck week 2

My second week in my new area, Little Neck, went pretty well. We got to know some of the members a little better by going to mutual on Wednesday night and looking up some less-active families to teach. On Friday we had our Combined District Meeting in Flushing, Queens. Flushing is almost entirely Chinese. The CDM went really well. We talked about setting personal goals and improvining ourselfs not only as missionaries but as people. I really got a lot out of it and have set some good personal goals for the next 6 weeks.

After the meeting we went on a "Street Sweep" on Main St. They gave us a bunch of little flyers for free english class in Chinese. There were about 30 missionaries and half of us went on one side of the street and half on the other side and we just handed out flyers and talked to people for about a half hour or so. The chinese elders taught me how to say "free english class" in Chinese, and i would just walk up to Chinese people, make a weird noise or two, and they understood me! and took the flyer almost every time. The english classes work really well in the Chinese program. The people really want to learn eglish and are willing to put the effort into learning. The street sweep was a lot of fun and i fearlessed the only 3 spanish people i saw the whole time. The verb To Fearless means: to go up to and talk to that person, just para que sepa. Anyway i really like the street sweep and it made me want to serve in the City where there are always people to talk to, EVERYWHERE. They're are so many people its crazy. My area is just outside of the city, we have about 10 blocks that are Technically part of Queens, but it's almost all Korean people. But we're working on finding some spanish people there as well. There are quite a few less-active families that live in that area.

There is an elder serviing in Flushing Spanish named Elder Jacobs and he served in Little Neck for 6 months. He is in a Trio right now, so he came with elder Reyes and I into our area on Saturday. We spent the whole day looking up old investigators and less actives. It was really awesome. There are a ton of people that we didn't know about and now we have appointments with lots of them. Por lo menos we have tons of addresses of poeple to look up now. Sunday went very well. I confirmed Maria Lopez in sacrament meeting and she seemed very happy. She is a 67 year old El Salvadorian woman, not sure if i told you already.
