Hey everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic week! My week was pretty awesome! I have SO much I want to write about, so to make things simple, I am going to make bullet points of all the fun things that are going on here in Manhattan!

- Today for P-Day we went around and visited all of the famous places here in NYC, like the 9/11 memorial, the charging bull statue, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Station, and a couple other places. I've got a lot of pictures but they won't all fit in 1 email, so I will send multiple. Sorry in advance haha. This area is sooo sick.

- Every morning we go on a run in Central Park, and it is so much fun! Elder Davis and I both love running, so we run about 2-3 miles or so every day. It's tiring but I love it so much. We even met up with someone we are teaching and had a lesson in Central Park this week, which was way fun. After the lesson she wanted to give us a little tour of the park, so we got to see a couple of the highlights.

- Our chapel is HUGE! It's got 5 floors, a gym, a parking garage, an elevator, and it has a bunch of fancy touch-screen computers that we like to do our video calls on. I will attach a picture of the building in this email. Many members of our ward are kinda famous because they have been in church produced videos that are in the gospel library, or their faces are on pass-along cards used by missionaries.

- Elder Davis is awesome! We are both determined to work insanely hard this transfer, and we get along great! Every day is a grind but that's how it should be haha. President Teuscher originally told me that we were going to be in a trio, but I guess he changed his mind at the last second because it's just us 2.

- I have been SO busy with Zone Leader stuff! It's a new adjustment for me, so this week I was just trying to get into the swing of things. We have meetings every day with the DL's, STL's, AP's, and President Teuscher. We also get to go on exchanges with every District Leader and his companion, the AP's, and other missionaries in the zone who may be struggling. In addition to that, we have to visit other district councils every week to give trainings and give feedback on how effective the meetings are. Its A LOT but it feels good to be productive and helpful.

- We have a baptism coming up for a guy named Luis! We had a few in person lessons with him this week and he was super solid and seems ready for baptism! All we need to do is set up his interview and he is all set for September 26th. We are teaching a few really awesome people!

Have a great week everyone!!!!!!!!!! If you want to send me mail, you can send it directly to the mission office. This is the address:
