Hey, Well, this week has been a pretty good week. On last Saturday I got sick and lost my voice for a few days but now I have a voice and am doing well. A member here in Princeton is a natural healer and I saw him and he did some stuff and now with my health I am feeling better. I still have problems with the lymph nodes but over all I am doing great health wise. I am having a hard time with my companion. We really don't get along and sometimes I just want to kill him. Also, I am getting stressed out with some things dealing with Princeton since we moved from the last time I was here. We don't have a washer and dryer and it's not a big deal paying to do laundry but it's a lot of work and because of where we live now we are away from a lot of people.Se we have tot ake the bus into Princeton once a week, since on Thursdays we can't use our car. WEll, this takes a lot of money and my companion likes to eat out a lot ans stuff and I am tired of fighting with him about the mission money not extending to eating out a lot, but I give in and I hate using my debit card but I have to because I do not have enough mission funds. I am just ready to knock him out or something. Well, on a better note, last Monday we went to the Princeton Battle Field. That was fun. We also went into Trenton to the New Jersey State Museum. It's nice this is all free. I was't impressed with the Museum; it wasn't that great. Across the street is a World War II wall, so we also went and saw that. The Battle Field and the Wall is where all these pictures are from. We also went to a place called Halo Farm. Wow, do they have the BEST ice cream! and milk, eggs, and stuff really cheap. So that was great also. The best part of the week was we got a media referral named Sandy. He met this gril online playing Scrabble and they got to talking. Well, she is from Utah and is a member. They talked about the church and it came to the point she invited him out there. He went out and at Temple Square he said he felt something he never has felt before and knew at that point he needed to change his life. He has studied on his own and knows a lot about the church. When we met him he already knew what ward he wa in. Well, we met with him on Saturday and he asked us what he has to do to get baptized. We taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ and he really wants to have that feeling back and he already has a testimony and said no matter what people think, he isn't turning back; this is what he needs to do and he loves the difference he already sees in himself. She is planning on coming out here the end of March and they are going to Palmyra. We set him with a baptismal date for the 25th of March so she can be here for it and he is so excited. He worked with the state police and does fire fighting now. he knows I am an EMT so he is giving me NJ EMT souvoniers. But we are excited to see what happens with him. Today we are goign to hike the Sourland Mountains. Well, that about it. Take Care. Elder Sanders
