Cosas!

May 18, 2020
Feliz lunes! I hope you all had a good week! My week was kind of slow, but here are some of the highlights!

First, last week we met a guy named Richard! He is amazing! He is a grown man with kids, a happy family, and he smiles and laughs more than anyone. The first day we met him, we asked him to pray, and it was so powerful that he started to cry! We have only known him for a week, but we felt like he was ready to be invited to be baptized. When we invited him, he started sharing his testimony that he knows this is the path for him and that he is so grateful that God put us in his path! So he is super excited, but due to the fact that we can't meet together, we have to wait for the virus to end before we can baptize anyone. We actually have 3 people who are in the same situation, who want to be baptized, but can't because of the virus. So pray that things will be over soon!

I also wanted to share something we learned in Zone Conference that helped us a lot this week! It was a new method of asking members for referrals! We called a family in the ward that we don't know very well and instead of sharing a spiritual thought, we just got to know them! We asked where they were from, how they met each other, their conversion story, and what their life would be like without the gospel! They were so happy to just share their life story with us and we felt like we became great friends with them! They started talking about all the blessings they have from the gospel and they started to realize how much of a positive impact the church has made in their life. So in that moment, I pointed out that a lot of people in the world are struggling, and don't know where to find those same blessings. I asked them if they knew anyone that would want that same thing in their lives, and they gave us 5 names for us to contact!! 5!!!!!! We asked how we could best help those people, and they said that they would love to join us in a group video call sometime to introduce us. So, long story short, missionary work comes down to really just being peoples friends. We weren't expecting that conversation to go as well as it did!

Also, Sister Teuscher texted me this week and asked if she could join our District Council tomorrow. The Sister Training Leaders are also planning on joining us to give a training! So I have been stressing out all week trying to make sure that the meeting goes smoothly because there is going to be a lot of authority in that call and I don't want anything to go wrong! 

We are also going to be receiving new missionaries soon that got reassigned here! I am so excited! Oh I also saw another mouse this morning on our stove!! Agh! I thought we had taken care of that problem, but they are back again. Anyway, I hope you all have a great week!!!

The Transition

 July 5, 2021 This week was President and Sister Holme's first week as our mission presidents! I've been super nervous about this week for the past 3 months, praying, fasting, and staying up too late thinking about all the things I would need to do as their assistant to help them the best I can. Well, this week turned out to be one of the BEST weeks of my life! It was absolutely amazing! As I explain some of the awesome opportunities I had this week, KEEP IN MIND we worked SO hard this week. Harder than ever before. It wasn't all just fun and games like it might sound haha.  First of all, I attended the transition dinner between the Teuschers and the Holmes, and it was really fun just hanging out and joking around with everyone. The Teuschers surprised me, Elder Money, and President Holmes with matching "unity ties". They have little boat steering wheels on them to basically say "you guys are in charge now". I am so so soooo grateful for that whole exper...

Fireworks or Gunshots?

October 16, 2019 I feel like I am in an episode of Naked and Afraid. Except I'm not naked, I am just afraid. Haha just kidding, but I do feel like I am on survival mode, because we made popcorn in the drying machine because our house doesnt have a microwave. My district also likes playing a game that we like to call, "Fireworks or gunshots". Every night we hear loud bangs, and most of the time it is fireworks. But sometimes, it sounds more like a gunshot, and then we usually hear police sirens afterwards. So we all make guesses on if its a firework, or if someone got shot. Kinda sketchy, but theres not very many other games we can play haha. The CCM is starting to grow on me! Its literally prison but I am used to it. I am on week 3 of 6, so I am halfway done! The first 2 weeks were really, really hard, but I think I have adjusted to the lifestyle by now, and warmed up to everybody. But staying inside the classroom all day, everyday is driving me crazy! I am counting down...

Raquel's Baptism!

  May 31, 2021 Okay. This week was incredible! I'll keep it as brief as possible even though I could probably talk all day about this stuff. RAQUEL GOT BAPTIZED! It was amazing! She is so happy, and has made some major life adjustments in order to be worthy. She feels amazing and couldn't be happier! She texted us the morning after and said "the next time you go talk to people about Jesus, I want to come with you". So we had her join us for some lessons, and she was inviting everyone to be baptized! It was awesome! She used to be a rockstar and lived a wild entertainer lifestyle, but now she is the holiest, most PRESTIGIOUS cat-sitter in Manhattan. No joke, she has about 300 clients and visits their lofts/rich apartments regularly to take care of their cats. So cool. My friends, Jeri and Alex, who I met at work back in Arizona, and who also receive these emails (you guys rock by the way!) are meeting with missionaries! Because I helped in the process of finding and pr...
