Justin is serving in Bensonhurst which is in the southern part of Brooklyn. He can see the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge from here. Coney Island is at the southern most part of this area. He can see Manhattan everytime he rides the train/subway. His companion is Elder Swift and they are both new to this area. Elder Swift has never served in Bensonhurst before so it's new to both of them. Justin said it's called being, "blinded in". He said President Bennion must be a man of great faith to do this! There's only one ward in Brooklyn and most of their neighborhood is Jewish. It's been rainy there and being in the big city has made him appreciate home. There are four missionaries sharing an apartment, the other two are Chinese. He's already had a chance to sample some of New Yorks finest pizza at a place called "The Original Italia". He expressed appreciation to all of us and he sounded great. Monday's are P-day (preparation day) so hopefully we'll get an email today.
