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
