Little Neck

I was really stressed on Tuesday evening. Elder Reyes and I have been "blinded in" to our area. Which means that they took out both of the missionaries in this area and put two new ones in. On Tuesday night i was just worrying because i had no idea where i was and how we were going to work, and i didn't know where to get started. It turns out that the area isn't too hard to figure out, at least getting around in a car isn't to hard. Where in Nassau County. Its almost in the city. Queens Village is in our area. It's a lot different from Riverhead, but i think I'm going to love it here. The ward is a spanish and english ward, and i Translated on Sunday. It went very well and this little spanish grandma told me that she understood everything and was so happy that I'm here, So that made me feel good about myself. My spanish isn't really that good though, but it should improve as i spend 24-7 with a native who only speaks a little bit of English.
Although we got blinded in i think we'll do just fine. We've just been looking up investigators that are in the "area book" and contacting some former investigators, as well as knockin some doors. We've already found some people to teach. We plan on visiting a lot of members as well. A woman was baptized on Sunday, and we will be visiting her at least once a week to review all of the lessons and keep her excited. She is really cool, she a 67 year old woman from El Salvador. She's great.
Our pad is a Little apartment above a Domino's on a pretty main street. There's plenty of honking and things that go on during the night, so it's a little harder to sleep. But Ive been sleeping well enough.
On Wednesday we went to Flushing Meadows Park to do service with the gardener there. That's where the World Fair was held, with the big globe and the Flying saucers from Men in Black are. Also Met's stadium is right there as well. It was cool. I forgot my camera though, but i'll take a couple pictures next week.
