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.

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...

Harlem is ALIVE

 January 11, 2021  BUENOSSS DÍAS A TODOSSSSSSS!!!!! How are you all doing? I am doing well, and my week was awesome! Hopefully you are all doing well! Let me know if I can pray for anything or anyone! Okay, here are some of the highlights from the week: - ALEJANDRO PASSED HIS BAPTISMAL INTERVIEW! We have only been teaching him for 5 weeks and I was confident he would pass. He is SO prepared! His baptism will be this Saturday and we are all so excited! He told us he wants to be in contact with us forever and one day get our grandkids together to tell them "our story". He is the best! I wish you all could meet him because he just RADIATES joy all the time. He is just so thankful he met us and found the church! - One of our favorite members, Hermano Herrera, invited us to go running with him one morning. We excitedly accepted, but we didn't realize what we had just gotten ourselves into. Apparently Hermano Herrera runs marathons and is an ANIMAL. We met him in Central Park a...
