Yo Soy un Mago

August 10, 2020

What is up, gang! Elder Chavez and I received a reassigned missionary that used to serve in Mexico, Elder Fullmer. In 10 months of serving my mission, Elder Fullmer is my FIRST companion from Utah! He is awesome! It has been super cool learning about the similarities and differences between our mission and his old mission. It's not every day you get to serve with someone with COMPLETELY different experiences than we are having here. Its been fun! But, it has felt a bit stressful because I feel like I am basically training 2 missionaries at the same time haha, since Elder Fullmer doesn't know how to do missionary work online, and he forgot a lot of Spanish during his time at home.


Because Elder Fullmer is new, we have to be in another really strict quarantine for 2 weeks. This past week has been really tough (mentally and physically) without fresh air or sunlight, not much exercise, and having 3 people in our small apartment. We have been going a little crazy, but we only have 1 week left until freedom! With some of our extra time, we have been calling an Elder in our zone (Elder Vanlangeveld) who knows magic and trying to learn how to do some tricks. I am not very good but I have lots of time to practice.

Our friend, Nazareth, is the most golden person I have ever seen in my entire life! He feels ready for baptism and he asked if he could get baptized a week earlier than he originally planned, on the 23rd! He also asked us if we could start teaching his family, and he invited them all to our Zoom church call! And they came! He has never NOT done something that we have asked him to do! He is every missionary's dream!

I had my interview with President Teuscher this week, and he told me that this is my last transfer in The Bronx :( So in about 3 weeks I will have to leave, which is crazy because I feel like I have barely seen The Bronx, and I haven't even gone to church in my 6 months of being in this ward.

Shoutout to my parents, Elder Fullmer's parents, and Elder Chavez's parents for all ordering us groceries because we can't leave the house! We have been eating so well this week! Also shoutout to Jolie, who is a family friend who lives in Manhattan! She brought us lunch one day! So good!

Have a great week everyone!

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...

The Great Wall of White Plains

March 22, 2021   ¿CÓMO ESTÁN TODOS? ITS ELDER WEBSTER BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER EMAIL! I don't have lots of time today, so I will try to be quick! I had my AP exchange with Elder Walters. It was fire.   I had my interview with President Teuscher. That was also fire. Elder Weller is finding like 8 new people to teach every week just from English class, so I requested an exchange with him to learn how he does it! I learned A LOT and our next couple days are already packed full of 1st lessons with people! I went on another exchange with Elder Martin (wow I go on so many exchanges). That was also fire. We invited 4 people to be baptized (Brayan, Doris, Milly, and Iker), and all of them said YES, but none of them felt ready to commit to a date yet, because they feel like they still need to learn more first. That is okay, at least we know that they are willing, and they know our intentions! Please pray for them to feel ready soon! The CUTEST little girl that I used to teach...
