Sister Sarah Johnson: Not enough time in NY ;)

Hello Family!!

I love you!! It was so nice to hear your voices and see your faces on Mother's Day:):)

So we have an investigator who is moving to Florida which is really sad:( So this week we started to help her pack. She needed some boxes but couldn't find any, so one night we walked into a little grocery store and asked them if they had boxes. They led us down to their little storage place and basically said have at it. We only had our hands, so we each grabbed three big boxes and carried them to the church haha! We were just walking down the street with giant folded up boxes and no one even thought it was weird haha! The next day when we went to take her the boxes it was raining (not as bad as last week though😊) so we took our fancy little Bronx Cart from Costco and took it to the church. We loaded it up with our boxes and put a garbage bag over it to keep it dry. Basically I'm just telling you all of this because it looked ridiculous haha! I'll include a picture of our cart;)

Service is just so much fun to do, especially as a missionary!! I love it! Every week we do service at a park raking leaves and digging dirt out of the gutters. This week we also did some service for a member and helped her deep clean her kitchen for three hours! It's the best feeling ever when you know you've made someone's day better and you did something for them they couldn't have done for themselves:) And something I've learned about doing service for others is that sometimes it comes when it's least convenient for us. But that's when it becomes true service right?:) When it's inconvenient for us, but needed for them:)

We've been busy today playing frisbee at Central Park, adventuring down the streets of New York, and trying all sorts of little bakeries. So sorry I don't have much to write:/ Time goes so fast! There's not enough time when you're in the city! Time just flies:) Unless you're playing frisbee in the humid hot sun for an hour and it's the longest hour ever! But so fun:) Anyways, I hope you all make it a wonderful week!! Keep having faith. Just trust Him:)

Love, Sister Johnson
