WHY YOU CRYIN?

Hey everyone!

This week was off the chizzle! 

We had a baptism Saturday and it was so great! Christine is officially a member of the church. At her baptism I gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and right in the middle of it  she literally yells at me, "You guys are the freaking bomb!"  It was sweet haha. 

But other than that this week was just all around good. Picked up some new investigators and set them with baptism dates, had fun teaching Roberta....like always, and froze our faces off. Pretty average. OH and transfer calls are this Saturday! I hope I stay another 6 weeks. This area is my baby and its just so cool to watch it grow....and you know Elder Day is pretty cool too;)

I love all of you and I hope you have a sweet sweet week. Keep the swag mature!

Love,

Elder Neus

This week was so sweet!  Troy is bumpin!

Our investigator Christine is getting dunked on Saturday! We are so stoked for her! She paid tithing on Sunday and she also attended a baptism with us. She is so prepared! PRAY FOR HERRRR!  I think she will do fine though:) 

Elder Day and I are like two peas in a pod it so fun! This week we had exchanges in Cohoes and I literally felt like I was missing a part of me for two days. LIFE IS GOOD!

Well hey we are super short on time again so I have to make this short. We are just so busy we never have time to email:(

Love you all and I hope you have a good week!

"Hi I'm Elder Neus, what's your name?"  

"WHAT IF I TOLD YOU MY NAME WAS BILLY!?????"

Yo yo yo whats up friends and fam??

This week was more weird than anything. I'm am starting to really miss AZ where most people are normal and not mental patients. We have been taking one of our investigators cigarettes the past week because she doesn't trust herself from trying to quit. It's really bizarre how she works but she is doing really good. We had another investigator at church and she went up and bore her testimony on the church and the Book of Mormon. IT WAS SO LEGIT. She's getting dunked Feb. 14.  She can't stop talking about it.

Well one day this week Elder Day and I went to CVS in Lansingburg (north Troy) to get some shelter from the cold and we stumbled upon the hair coloring aisle......long story short he's not blonde anymore and my hair is way lighter...:) We are having a super great time! Things are moving forward and the area is on fire!

We met this dude Billy this week and he almost punched Elder Day in the face.  It was kinda funny. He was super drunk and couldn't really understand that we weren't trying to arrest him. We just asked him for his name and he flipped out! 

OH AND WE THREW A FIESTA FOR THE DISTRICT YESTERDAY WHILE WE WERE SNOWED IN AT THE CHURCH! IT WAS OFF THE CHAINS!

Well anywho, I miss you all and I hope you can all feel the electricity in the air! Have a good week and maybe possibly I will email on time next Monday:)

Love,

Elder Neus

Just what the doctor ordered.

Sooooo.....mmmheeyyyyy:)

Sorry this email is late. We are in like the middle of some sort of blizzard.  It's nuts. I HAVE A NEW COMPANION....and he is almost like an exact duplicate of me...it's so dope.

We have had some much success here in Troy.  It's so fun being a missionary:) There is never a dull moment.

So there are some really sweet things that we as a district and zone have found out the past few weeks. We have truly been fed by the spirit and been shown these things for a reason. Its so simple but makes so much sense. Its about prayer and pre-destined blessings from God.

First, lets start with a scripture. Luke 11:9

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

 So in that passage there is a divine promise, "ask it shall be given you". Heavenly Father has promised us that if we "have real intent, having faith in Christ" he will give us the things we ask for. But only if they serve a righteous purpose.  When we pray our will meets with the Father's will. That's just how it works. But God has blessings in store for us and the only way to obtain some of  these blessings is by asking him.

We have seen so many miracles these past few weeks just by asking God for specific blessings, goals, needs, etc...IT'S SO COOL!

I invite you all to try this:)

I wish I could write more in depth emails lately but it's starting to get really hard. Just know I am doing very good and I am keeping on. Haha I sound like such a slacker. I will have to write a nice one soon.

God bless you all.

Here is a picture in front of some Tupac mural Elder Day and I found. Oh and some other stuff. We are seriously having so much fun!:)

LIFE IS GOOD

Love,

Elder Neus

mmmmmm bye noooooow

"2+2= 5 BRUH"

MMMheyyyyyyyyy friends and fam:)

This week was so great!  We got transfer calls, saw someone throw up ,and we found out sisters are moving back into the ward.....

Well watching someone throw up isn't that great but I thought it was interesting so I mentioned it. SOOOO we got transfer calls and it turns out my little boy is leaving me and going to Madison to serve with my homie from AZ, Elder Covarrubias:)) I will have to pray for him. Haha jk I think they will do great together. It will be so good for Elder Winkel to leave and see new things.  I hope and pray he will get out of his "slump".....

OH Elder Day from Utah is going to be my new companion:) I hear he is super loud and a pretty chill guy....OH I LIKE THAT. I cant wait to meet him:) .I am just gonna praise em for days em. I am so grateful to have a normal companion. It feels like I haven't had one since Elder Reyne......oh wait...I haven't:) I think the Lord and President Wirthlin are just giving me a huge break. Its kinda hard being a "babysitter" missionary. It was a great calling but I am so done-zo.

Alma 26:11  " But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God."

D&C 101

 36 Wherefore, fear not even unto death; for in this world your joy is not full, but in me your joy is full.

Life is so good. I am so happy to be serving the Lord. I am not really gonna miss my tough companions and having to adjust to their difficulties.But I do love them and have learned so much from them.

"for my joy is full"

Love,

Elder Hunter Neus

"Dope week hurr in da Trap"  - Taken part 2 

Hello friends and fam!

This week was so good here in the Albany East area:)

We hit 30+ lessons and have 6 on date for baptism:0 The church is so true:)))))

Elder Winkel still is making me want to go less active haha jk. Things are getting better. We had ZTM this week and everyone got an interview from President Wirthlin. I think he told Elder Winkel what's up.....President just gave me a low down on him and just told me to have patience:)  It's a virtue and we all have our own issues so...yeah.  "Charity sufferth long and is kind."  

So back to the story about us getting kidnapped...if you are reading this and don't know what I am talking about I invite you to 1. repent and 2. read all my emails. Slackers.... 

Anyways.... We get on the bus and he threatens to shoot me in the face with his gun... So we get off with him and we stumble down the street.   And no lie it was snowing like crazy out so we couldn't just run away when he wasn't looking.  He would have killed us haha. So he gets his beer and says "I am a man, I ain't no p***y."  He then begins to attempt chugging his forty.  He gets like 1 second into it and chokes and throws it on the ground! He thought he was the cats pajamas at that point. It was like all the way full. He was sooooooooooo drunk! He then tells us he was in prison for 20 years for killing a guy in 1986. He showed us his prison tats later.  We get into his apartment and there is this crazy looking guy watching Mr. Bean. So I yell "MR. BEANNNN!"  I forgot we were currently getting kidnapped and he slaps me in the back of the head.  We go into his room and it smells like urine and old spice deodorant...yeah haha and he tells us to get on his bed. At this point I say a little prayer in my head because now its getting real. He then does the unthinkable and steals Winkels gloves and turns on some hood music and passes out on the floor. WE RAN SO FAST OUT OF THERE IT WAS FREAKING NUTS. Then we went and taught some people...

Well there it is. Probably one of the craziest things that has happened to me on my mission:)

The church is true. Pray for miracles:) CTR

Love,

Elder Hunter Neus
