Elder Adam Ray Allen's adventures in the New York, New York City Mission!!

Pic from farewell party for our senior couple! What's up everyone! So as you can tell from the header, it's been super hot and humid over here the past like week and it's horrible. Literally walk outside and it's instant sweat 😭 but it's been a solid week so that's good! Finally got Facebook! I'll be on Facebook all the time now just posting stuff about the church and helping our investigators and members through social media so that's super awesome! I cant message people from back home though unless it's me teaching something or stuff like that (sorry momma) but yeah it's super weird to have it out here haha. But I've already seen how it makes missionary work so much more effective it's awesome. P-Day at the Zoo!  On Friday  I was on a split with my district leader elder Wilson, and we basically just had everybody cancel on us for all of our appointments. So we ended up just going to a bunch of former investiga...

Dope sunset! Hey everybody! This past week has flown by! We've been way busy and just had tons of lessons but there's definitely been some cool stuff happening. One crappy thing though is that the senior couple from our ward we serve in went home today🙃 they were the coolest people ever, the Coleman"s. Elder Coleman was super into NBA and we talked about it all the time and definitely had a few discussions about how he loves the warriors 🤔 but he's super cool and actually got us some stuff from the NBA store as a going away gift, and we got him a Cleveland cavaliers NBA champion hat 😂 super sad to see them go but we should get a new couple pretty soon! So, we have English classes for random people around the Bronx that want to learn English. We have a bunch of regulars that come every time, and one of them is named Ar____. She's legit the coolest girl ever! She loves us and invited us over for dinner on Friday for the first time ever, and we actua...

Meeting with Nelson Yo! This past week has been freaking awesome everyone, definitely had a lot happen and it's been sweet! So, on Saturday, we had President Nelson (president of the quorum of the 12 apostles) up here in NY! All the missionaries in the mission went to the Manhattan temple and chapel to meet him and get taught by him, and it was legit one of the coolest experiences ever. So we get to the chapel and start getting ready for the picture, and we're all packed in like sardines haha it was so hot and we stood there waiting for like 30 minutes. One kid legit passed out because we were standing straight for so long😂 but after a while President Nelson and his wife came in! It was so cool, and for those of you who didn't know, this guy is like 93 and has more energy than me haha. He like ran in and started waving to us with a huge smile, and said he was so excited for this opportunity to speak to us. We took some pictures, and then after that we got to meet ...

 Last picture with our zone before a bunch of them get transferred! Yo everybody! This week has been freaking awesome. I've got so much I could put in here but Im gonna try and keep it kind of short for your guys' sake haha. So, this past Saturday I actually got to baptize my first person ever! Her name was Vilma Benitez and she was an investigator of the sister missionaries in our area. The sisters asked me if I wanted to baptize her since I hadn't done it yet and of course I said yes! No lie I was pretty nervous cause it was in Spanish and I did not wanna mess up lol. But I got it first try and it was awesome. She was so happy after and bore her testimony in front of everyone there. She said she felt so warm and like a new person when she came out of the water. It was so cool to be able to be a part of that, definitely one of the dopest spiritual experiences I've had out here! Alright now here's the best part of my week. This legit blew my mind. I...
