September 7, 2020

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:

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...

Zone Conference Week

 August 16, 2021 What's good!!! This week was Zone Conference week, so we were running all over the mission giving trainings and making sure everything went smoothly. It was my last Zone Conference ever, which was sad, but I was honestly pretty relieved after it was over because its really stressful organizing the whole thing. Departing missionaries are always asked to share their testimony at their last Zone Conference, but because I attended ALL the zone conferences, I got to do it every day.  We dropped Elder Money off at the airport on Thursday morning! It was super sad! I love that guy. He was such a great companion! Elder Call and I actually had time to do normal missionary work yesterday for the first time in months! We grabbed a stack of Book of Mormons and rode the subway up and down Manhattan for a few hours and passed out as many as we could. Elder Call met a guy named Nephi who isn't even a member of the church. It was so cool. I met a guy from The Bronx that spit ...

"Hurricane" Henri

 August 23, 2021 To whom it may concern, This week was great! There was a hurricane over the weekend so we were in a hurry trying to contact parents and get missionaries who live on the coast to safer places to live as we waited out the storm. We were all very underwhelmed because it was probably the weakest hurricane in history haha, but I am glad no damage was done! All missionaries were on lockdown and church was cancelled. We live in the same building as President and Sister Holmes, so we were on lockdown with them and spent the day working on things together. I feel extremely blessed. They are changing my life every day. Elder Call and I got to proselyte a lot this week! It was my first time doing it in a few months, so we gave it everything we had, especially because neither of us have much time left to do it! We found a few new people to teach, but the biggest miracle was Mario! We met him at a taco stand when we were getting lunch. It turns out he was already meeting with t...
