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

 Elder Jensen and I Ballin outside Yankee Stadium a few weeks ago.  Como andan todos!? We had an awesome week here! It feels like just yesterday I was typing out an email; I swear the mission just keeps getting quicker and quicker.   1 year mark where I started the mission! (name on the sign)  We had an awesome split on Tuesday! I got the privilege to go back to my old area in the other side of the Bronx, and it was so great. We got to visit a few people I had taught back when I first got into the mission which was super cool. We had a sweet miracle as well as we were going to look up a person who used to investigate the church. We were walking down the stairs and opened the door for this man who had a hat on that used some selective language 😂 He said thanks and then opened the next door for us, so we started talking a little bit. We got to the corner of the block and he asked us who we were and we began to explain to him what we do as mis...

Hey everyone! Hope you've all had a great week!  This week went by way too quick, and it was filled with so many cool things.  First off, we had an amazing lesson on Friday night. We had contacted a guy on the bus a few weeks back and had never been able to meet up but we finally got an appointment. We went over for only 20 minutes and had one of the most spiritual lessons on the restoration ever. As Elder Jensen said the first vision I had another witness that it really happened, and that because God loves us he has yet again called a prophet to lead and guide the people.  That leads right in to zone conference this past week. We had it up in Scarsdale where the mission home is, and it was the most powerful one I've been to. It was the last one with president Smith, and we focused on Joseph smith's experience. As we talked about the significance of that event where he saw God the father and Jesus christ, I reflected on how it has changed my life and when I re...

 Taco bell last week with ward misión leader from Harlem!!! Como están!?  It's been a super hot and humid week here in the Bronx, but so awesome as well! Our area is bumping right now and the work is so much fun. So in Harlem Elder Cuevas and I had been teaching this guy named Leo who we gave a blessing to and he was healed from the affects of his stroke. He got baptized this past saturday!!! I was so happy to hear that and even more pumped when they sent us a picture of him in all white. That guy is so cool and that experience we shared together has changed my life forever. Yankee Stadium with the roomates!  I was on a split in another area of the Bronx this week with Elder Navarro, and we had some pretty cool stuff happen. One of the coolest things was right before we left the house. We had a goal to find 2 new people to teach, and we had the idea to pray for someone very specific to find. Elder Navarro prayed that we would be able to find someo...
