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!!!
