From the NYC

Hey family! so this week has been pretty crazy and emailing is a little crazy today so it's going to be short -- sorry! but i love your letters SO much and they really do mean more to me than i can ever tell you. sooooooo this week -yes there was a hurricane. miracle = sis. smith and i AND the hermanas were inside when it hit. we just had a LOT of rain and lightning and i was just glad that i wasn't outside. we were going to go tracting all night but sis. smith decided that we should probably map out our area instead. so we did :) -as most of you know by now i just talked to mom! i woke up yesterday and something felt pretty rough in my mouth and i broke my stupid crown so i got to talk to mom to get insurance info. it was AWESOME i freaked out when i dialed my HOME PHONE NUMBER and hit send. i love you all so much. thank you SO SO much for your love and support. it means more than you know. -i lost my name tag this week -- thankfully my companion is named sister smith so i just borrowed one of hers. haha. thanks president for putting us together. -it was yom kippur or something this week -- i'm becoming more aware of jewish holidays than i ever have in my life. some of them are really sweet to us. one lady stopped us on the street and told us what good girls we were and how we are doing an awesome job. aww. -BIG OL FAT MIRACLE. we were walking on the street and a man stopped us and told us that he studied with missionaries in haiti and wants to keep going and be baptized. yeah. it was a good day. we are SO guided -- love it! -we got a new investigator that is a fashion designer. he is quite a character. he asked both sis. smith and i if our hair was real. it made me feel good to say YEAH! my hair is so long that he thought it was fake! nope real :) :) and yeah. my brain is SUPER scattered right now -- sorry fam. next week will be better. oh. next week is transfers. so -- we will find out if everything is the same or not. i heard from someone that it's so cool to know that we have a specific place we need to be at a specific time and with a specific companion. and it is up to us to figure out why and make our purpose happen. love it. love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sister mich
