SNOW STORM IN NYC

December 21, 2020

 HELLO EMAIL SQUAD!! This week was FIRE despite it being quite literally the opposite of fire, since we got snowed on a bunch! I think we got a little less than a foot of snow here in Harlem. I was in HEAVEN! We went down to Central Park for exercise time and threw snowballs and made snow angels. I felt like I was in that one scene from Elf haha.


I've said it before and I am going to say it again. I LOVE HARLEM! I seriously never want to leave! The ward, the food, the buildings, the people we teach, it's all so great! I could write a whole novel just about the members here, but for the sake of time, you will just have to take my word for it. They are the best.

Yesterday at church, a member of the ward in Queens that I served in, Hermana Cruz, showed up with her whole family to our ward to be there for a baby blessing. I WAS SO CAUGHT OFF GUARD but it totally made my whole week! I love them and miss them so much! I got major flashbacks too haha.

I love all the people we teach, but Alejandro (he also goes by Juan so I never know what to call him) is literally an angel! We set his baptismal date for January 16th and it is looking pretty likely it will happen! We made a little Christmas tree ornament for him haha and we posted a picture of it, and he loved it so much! He keeps posting pictures of The Book of Mormon and told us he called some of his friends to teach them about it! He has HIS OWN teaching pool! He even made a collage of pictures of Elder Wooley and I, The Book of Mormon, and Santa Claus and set it as his cover photo on Facebook. I will attach a screenshot of it into this email because it is just SO awesome! WE. LOVE. JUAN!

We had in person zone conference this week and President Teuscher laid some deep doctrine on us about who Jesus Christ was before he was born, and what happened in the premortal life that made him become our Savior. It was so super amazing! I also got to join the Bermuda district council online and give a little spiritual thought. I never thought I would ever be involved with Bermuda, but here I am haha. That's all my updates for this week! Love you all, and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

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...

Raquel's Baptism!

  May 31, 2021 Okay. This week was incredible! I'll keep it as brief as possible even though I could probably talk all day about this stuff. RAQUEL GOT BAPTIZED! It was amazing! She is so happy, and has made some major life adjustments in order to be worthy. She feels amazing and couldn't be happier! She texted us the morning after and said "the next time you go talk to people about Jesus, I want to come with you". So we had her join us for some lessons, and she was inviting everyone to be baptized! It was awesome! She used to be a rockstar and lived a wild entertainer lifestyle, but now she is the holiest, most PRESTIGIOUS cat-sitter in Manhattan. No joke, she has about 300 clients and visits their lofts/rich apartments regularly to take care of their cats. So cool. My friends, Jeri and Alex, who I met at work back in Arizona, and who also receive these emails (you guys rock by the way!) are meeting with missionaries! Because I helped in the process of finding and pr...
