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 Land of Spider-man

November 17, 2019 Hola! All is well here in New York City! I CANNOT believe how amazing it is here, and how happy I am doing the work I am doing. There is nowhere I would rather be, and no work I would rather be doing. I have found so much more joy than I thought was possible in being a missionary. I've had so many incredible experiences this week, but I will only share a few for the sake of time, and for the sake of the length of this email. So buckle up, there's a lot I want to share with you all but I don't want to bore anyone so I will try to condense it. My new companion is named Elder Stanford! He is from San Francisco California, and is one heck of a guy! He is the best trainer I could ask for, and I love him so much. Seriously, no complaints. The area I was assigned to serve in is called Richmond Hill! Its in Queens (and a little bit of Brooklyn), and I love it so much! Its literally where Spiderman lives! The high school that they filmed Spiderman at is really ...

Urgent Care + TRANSFERS!

March 16, 2020 It's a crazy time to be a missionary, for sure! Due to the Coronavirus, church was canceled worldwide, and everyone is avoiding contact with everyone! It makes it a little hard for us to work because... inviting people to church and talking to as many people as possible is what we do! I am not entirely sure how to do missionary work effectively in this circumstance, but we are figuring it out one day at a time. Because we try to talk to literally everyone we see, I actually got sick this week! Elder Larson and I were told to stay inside to rest and to avoid spreading anything. We have been at home for the past 3 days! The mission doctor also asked me to go to Urgent Care, just to make sure I didn't have Corona Virus. They took my blood and ran tests. Turns out, I AM OKAY. Thank goodness! They still don't want us to leave the house though because of everything that's going on in the world. So, we have been doing as much missionary work from home as we ...

April 27, 2020 Wow! You would think I would run out of updates to write about since we are still stuck at home, but I have some news! But first, thank you so much to everyone that sent Elder Goodman and I something! We got like 6 meals delivered to us throughout the week and some packages and letters! It was a fantastic birthday! I feel super blessed! When I asked people to send me stuff last week I was kind of joking because I didn't think anyone would actually do it, but we have been LOADED with food and packages! Thank you everyone! I also feel mega blessed because WE FINALLY KILLED A MOUSE! After many sleepless nights, trips to the store for traps, and praying, we got 1! We have seen rats and other mice too, so the war is not over. But 1 mouse is progress! We got transfer calls on Saturday night, and Elder Goodman and I are both staying in Olmstead. But the thing is, since so many missionaries got sent home, a bunch of areas have been shut down. The entire Chinese Zone clo...
