A Soul for a Soul

 December 7, 2020

HAPPY DECEMBER EVERYONE WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!! Other than it being mega cold, this week was pretty good!

I went to Queens on Friday for a leadership meeting and it was wild. We went down there with no SIM card (long story) so we couldn't use google maps or anything. I was a little nervous to navigate the subway without the assistance of the wifi gods, but I did it no problem! Light flex. The meeting was fantastic! I could literally see beams of revelation bouncing off the walls as we shared ideas with each other. Crazy stuff. Afterwards, I asked President what I need to do to prepare for Stake Correlation (because he asked me to lead the discussion for it), and my boi President Teuscher was like "hop on my Zoom tonight at 9:30 and I can give you some training for it", which was so nice! That zoom call was probably the highlight of my week, he took almost a whole hour out of his day to help me know what to do, and it was super helpful for me and I was really grateful! Stake Correlation was yesterday and I was SO nervous but I think it turned out well!

Elder Wooley's cousin hooked us up with a gift card to a soul food restaurant, because I guess Harlem is famous for that stuff. I didn't really know what soul food was, but now I know its literally ALL of my favorite foods put into 1 category!!!!!!!! Fried chicken, mac and cheese, pie, all that good stuff. It was DIVINE! My week of missionary work was spent saving souls while eating soul food. If you understand the reference in the subject of this email, I love you.

We found someone named Juan this week, and he is so solid. He pretty much told us he wants to hand over his whole life to God and he wants us to help him. So that's sweet! He also doesn't have work so he wants us to call him every single day. We are so excited! Our other solid people are Noemy and Omar! They are both amazing and the ward loves them! The work is going well! I love this work, I love this area, the ward, my companion, life is good.

This week flew by and I know more things happened but I can't remember anything else. But here is a quote I heard from one of my many meetings this week, I can't remember which one I heard it from:

"God is pleased with where we are, but never satisfied because He knows what we can become."

Amen.

Elder Webster

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...
