Hey, This week was hard as Melvin, our recent convert, told us Wednesday that he wants nothing to do with the church anymore due to some stupid stuff and he got into anti things. Made Wednesday a really hard to want to do anything. On Friday, we had an all mission activity and Chester Elton talked to us. It was neat and we had a lot of fun. On July 4th we are going to go watch fireworks over the Hudson from New York, but we will still be on the NJ side. Brother Slater, who does the catering BBQ said that when y ou come and pick me up that on August 7th he will do a dinner for us. I'm excited since it's very good. Next Monday, July 9th, I won't be emailing but I will on July 10th. The 9th I am going to Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty with all the departing missionaries. I am very excited since going home is the only time you get to go. July 6th we have zone conference - those are always great experiences. July 17th is my birthday but also transfers. I think I will stay in Princeton but there is a chance I could get transferred. I would hate it as I only have three weeks left at that point. But I know for sure I will at least get one new companion if not two. Just 21st I go to the temple with President and his wife and the other elders going home early. I just finished reading the Pearl of Great Price and now 35 days left of reading D&C and that's done. I will have read everything at least once other than the bible. So, that's about everything going on here. Lots to keep me busy and make the end of my mission go really fast, so I am excited. Elder Sanders

Hey everyone, There isn't anything to report other than I am probably going to finish my mission in Princeton since I am not getting transferred. I really don't think I will get transferred for three weeks or so. I am excited because I love this area and ward and I get to keep my companion and I really like him. Today, we woke up at 3:15 a.m. and went crabbing and had a lot of fun til it started to down pour around 10:00 a.m. We were soaked and that wasn't fun. We had a great feast eating them. It's been the best day of my mission so far. Nothing else is going on. I can't wait to see you all in two months. Elder Sanders

Hey, So this week has been a really good week. I got a new companion on Tuesday. I am excited. His name is Elder Marshall from Ogden, Utah. He is so much better then my last companion and we get along very well. Wednesday, was his birthday so I took him out to 5 Guys to get dinner one night. Today, we are going to Brother Slater's, who is a member here that does catering BBQ and makes really great food, ice-cream, and cakes so ia m excited because we are celebrating my companions birthday. I am very excited about it. We went to a place in Princeton that isn't that expensive called Zorba's Brother. It is a very good Mediterranean/Greek/American place. We also found an ice-cream place called the Bent Spoon, that is voted one of the best places to go in America. Oh my, is it amazing: A place to go on our family trip when I come home. Also been eating a lot of pizza this past week. It's been greta. I found the best pizza and Philly cheese steak that I have had so far in New Jersey. I love food and NJ has got some amazing places. I have been going to therapy for my back. Still having some pain but it's starting to get better. This week we have also done a lot of service - from yard work to moving people, we have done it all. Bit it has been a great week. Funny story this week, as we were down in Trenton, the state capitol. We were walking back to our car when this black guy stops us and asks if we know Hebrews 7:1 or something like that. We are like, not from memory. So he quotes it to us and then says, "I am Melchizedek, the high priest of the most high God." We just tried so hard to not bust up laughing. Some people are crazy. Oh, the fun you have on a mission.
