It's been a beautiful month in New York. The New York New York North mission never stops running! From sun up to sun down there is always a million things going on, a hundred phone calls to answer, and a billion blessings to enjoy. We'ree thrilled that these beautiful hydrangea have bloomed again in our yard.
We had Elder Baldwin join our mission family this month. He is from Arizona and will be speaking Portuguese. He is a really nice young man and will be a great missionary.
We said a fond goodbye to Sister Whitney Larsen. She has been a good missionary and is a beautiful young lady. We wish her all the best!
We went to Manhattan this month to enjoy a fireside from Mr. Alex Boye. He has an amazing conversion story and shared some beautiful music with the Manhattan stake.
We love watching our missionaries teach and share the gospel. Each Elder and Sister brings a special gift and talent in the way they teach. We are blessed to have been a part of some lessons.

We were able to go the Bethel Woods to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform. The evening was wonderful despite of the pouring rain, wind and cold temps.
We love seeing our returning missionaries reunited with their families. We had Elder Longo, Elder Diaz, Elder Geisel and Elder Duvall's family's come greet their sons at the mission home. These are sweet reunions to be a part of.
This month would not be complete without a few pictures of our amazing Assistants. Elder Keni Reid and Elder Spencer Gore are super young man. They are dedicated to their callings. They're happy to serve and teach and love each missionary. These incredible men will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
