Webster and Wooley's Wild Week of Wonder

November 30, 2020

WHAT'S GOOD EMAIL FAM? I hope you are all doing just dandy! I had a fan-flippin-tastic week! My new companion Elder Wooley is SO amazing! He is the total package and we are like best friends! We have been busier than ever because I am the Zone leader and he is the District Leader. So, lots of meetings! On top of that, he is the social media specialist over the Bronx Spanish Facebook page, so we have a big workload on us but we get it done! Elder Wooley is a super fun guy and a super hard worker! Ugh I could write a whole email about how great he is but I won't. I would be fine spending the rest of my mission in Harlem together, we are having a blast.


Also, some of you may not know this, but the island of Bermuda is in my mission (which is crazy because I think it's technically the property of the U.K.) and I found out that those missionaries are now part of my zone. So we are now responsible for Manhattan, Bermuda, and the Facebook page for the Bronx. We haven't had any spare time, it's fantastic.

We are doing an Avengers Infinity War Zone initiative throughout the whole transfer (classic me thing to do), and each companionship has to complete a series of challenges in order to collect all of the infinity stones throughout the transfer. Everyone is so hyped to do work and it's also way fun! #WhateverItTakes

Thanksgiving was amazing! We went for a run in the morning in Central Park and it was beautiful. Then, the Teuschers hosted a little cooking show over Zoom and taught the whole mission how to make homemade rolls and pumpkin pie! President Teuscher wore an apron that said "Chef Craig" and I just about died from laughing. The pie and rolls were amazing and it was so fun! We ended the night on Zoom with the whole mission as we ate pie together and had a little devotional. We had a few members bring us food as well! Other than having to make an emergency run to the store for yeast, it was a perfect day!

Our friends Omar and Noemy came to church (as well as a few other people we weren't expecting but that's a whole other story) and our ward just LOVED them!!! Noemy stayed at the chapel afterwards and hung out with her new church friends for like 2 hours! The members in Harlem are the greatest I have ever seen! One of the members, without us even asking, offered to drive Noemy to church every week so that she doesn't have to pay for a taxi! How amazing is that?! Literally an answer to our prayers!

I love Harlem!!! I love Elder Wooley!! I love missionary work!! The church is so true!!!!!!!!! Life is good here in the big 'ole apple. Love you all muchas. I took a million pictures this week and can't fit them all into 1 email, woops... I'll try to take less! Haha jk. We are going downtown today so expect some FIRE pictures next week! Have a great week!!!

August 9, 2021 Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week! I'm writing this email having spent 110% of my energy this week on the work of the Lord. I almost have no energy left other than the promise in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me". I'm going into my 6th month with little sleep and an enormous workload, and It's catching up to me now, but I'll be okay. I seriously feel like the only thing keeping me going is Jesus Christ, which is an incredible feeling having given everything to the Lord. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm definitely not complaining, but I'm insanely grateful for the opportunity to serve. There is nothing more fulfilling than this work, and even though I feel like I've given everything I have, I still wish I could give more. We picked up 31 new missionaries from the airport this week! Having to organize the logistics for their travel, hotel, and meals was pretty chaotic,...

Goodbye New York City

  September 13, 2021 It pains me to say that this was my last week as a missionary. We had a general authority (Elder Bassett) visit the mission all week, and Elder Call and I were in charge of the technology. I could probably write a whole email about all the miracles, struggles, and work that went into that. Maybe that's a story for another day. We picked up my replacement, Elder Wolfgramm, and have been training him on some things before I go. It has been an absolute blast being in a trio with them. I reflected a lot this week on the past 2 years and the things I have learned. I want to make a brief summary of my mission and say what I learned from each of my areas and companions! It will probably be boring for you, but it's mostly just for me to write down some thoughts to look back on one day haha. Mexico MTC - Elder Martin I learned spanish, kinda. Elder Martin has also taught me a lot about friendship and loyalty. He is SUCH a good friend. I am still learning from him ev...

EMERGENCY *MUST READ*

November 9, 2020 What's up!!!! I'm not sure if you all heard, but the elections were this week. We don't watch the news or anything so I received the update when the ENTIRE city went out onto the streets with cowbells, trumpets, frying pans, and other noisemakers to celebrate. It was crazy. New York is very very very blue. That's all I will say. I emailed President Teuscher about my concerns with my companion's obedience, and he said "I will see what I can do". Well he actually did a LOT to help! He made a whole PowerPoint presentation on obedience and shared it in a mission-wide devotional. We also had a mission leadership meeting in Queens this week and had a big discussion about how to help the 27 new incoming missionaries be obedient... the answer: WE ARE OBEDIENT OURSELVES. We made plans to do a 40 day fast as a mission from EVERYTHING we may cut corners on when it comes to rules. Anyway, I feel like my emails to President sparked a big mission-wide f...
