Short Money Hills

Dear Family and Friends!

Welp I've been transferred. And as you might have guessed from the title I got transferred to Short Hills! If you remember from last week Short Hills is the "NOT sketch" place I could go. Which is completely true because Short Hills is

NOT

SKETCH.

I am going through reverse culture shock! I've been in semi-ghetto city areas my whole mission and now my world has been expanded to:

TREES

YARDS

FLOWERS

GRASS

SPACE

TWO CAR FAMILIES

1 FAMILY/HOUSE

2 STORY HOUSES

GARAGES

DRIVEWAYS
UNLIMITED PARKING

SELTZER WATER

Missionary work here is a whole new experience. There is so much more space and trees and people here have a lot more things which has lead to the nickname Short Money Hills. There are also not nearly as many Hispanics as there were in Paterson/Bayonne/Kearny but they are there and we'll find them!! 

Because of some different situations in the area I came into an area with 0 investigators. I've never had an area with no investigators, not even in Paterson when we were doubled in, so this was a little overwhelming at first. But we made lots of phone calls and visited lots of people and now we have 2! So I'm feeling much better about life!

I'm really excited for this area! It's different but it'll be fun to have a different experience. 

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK: John the recent convert from Kearny who went anti now has a testimony and got confirmed this last Sunday!!! And he invited his friend over to hear the missionaries and bore his testimony to his friend! Aaaah I am just so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Church is true!! And I love it! I love you all and hope that you're August is everything you ever dreamed of! Here it's a balmy 80 degrees! New Jersey has the best autumns ever!

Remember to choose the right and know what you stand for!

Love,

Hermana Reed
