I Got a Job at a Restaurant

January 25, 2021

Buenas tardes a todossssssss! No, the subject of this email is not clickbait, that really happened. Here are some of the highlights from the week:

1- We met a guy on Facebook that owns a restaurant downtown (right by the Empire State Building) called Exotic Empanadas NYC and it's rated 4.5 stars and apparently there is an article about him in the New York Times. He is legit. He told us he had an idea where he wants to not only fill people with food, but also fill them with the word of God. The only problem is, he is so busy cooking, he can't share the gospel at the same time, and he needs help. So, he asked us to come to his restaurant a few times a week and teach the gospel to all of his customers. ISN'T THAT SO COOL? Keep in mind, this guy isn't even a member of the church. So now we have Saturday shifts at a 4.5 star restaurant in downtown Manhattan to preach the word. He also gave us some free empanadas and they were SO GOOD!

2- A member from a different ward spotted us on the subway and started up a conversation with us. Long story short, she gave us $43 to get some food because we aren't allowed to eat with members right now and she felt bad. We tried our best to reject the money (we really did, I promise) but she had to get off the subway right then and was in a hurry and suddenly the subway doors closed and she was gone. We felt REALLY blessed. I can't think of any other time of my life where strangers will go up to me and just hand me money haha.

3- I got to go on an exchange with the AP's. It was pretty, especially because 1 of them was my previous companion and I miss that guy.

4- A lady from Africa moved into our ward this week and she was supeerrr nice! She gave me an awesome bracelet from Ghana. I'll send a picture of it in this email.

5- The work is going well, we have good amounts of lessons and are working really hard everyday. Elder Wooley is still a beast and I love him.

Enjoy some awesome pictures :) Have a great week!

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...

The Great Wall of White Plains

March 22, 2021 ¿CÓMO ESTÁN TODOS? ITS ELDER WEBSTER BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER EMAIL! I don't have lots of time today, so I will try to be quick! I had my AP exchange with Elder Walters. It was fire. I had my interview with President Teuscher. That was also fire. Elder Weller is finding like 8 new people to teach every week just from English class, so I requested an exchange with him to learn how he does it! I learned A LOT and our next couple days are already packed full of 1st lessons with people! I went on another exchange with Elder Martin (wow I go on so many exchanges). That was also fire. We invited 4 people to be baptized (Brayan, Doris, Milly, and Iker), and all of them said YES, but none of them felt ready to commit to a date yet, because they feel like they still need to learn more first. That is okay, at least we know that they are willing, and they know our intentions! Please pray for them to feel ready soon! The CUTEST little girl that I used to teach...
