Hey everyone!

Glad to hear that many of you are doing well and are having awesome experiences wherever you are. Being in New York has taught me a ton, mainly that you can learn a lot from places where you don't think you would learn from. As I have gotten used to the mission lifestyle and have gotten to know the members of the ward, I have been warmly accepted and everyone we meet and teach are amazing people! I am seeing how the gospel can change lives and understand that no one investigator is the same.

This week was also very interesting, we got to go see a parade! Below are some pictures of the event and it goes to show that even having a presence at an event can help people get to know you better.

Hope you are all doing well and I look forward to emailing you all next week!

Sincerely,

Elder Melanson
