TRANSFERS

 February 15, 2021 Well, my time in Harlem is coming to an end. I seriously love this place sooo much and I just want to stay here forever. But, at the same time, I feel like I have accomplished all I needed to accomplish here, and I am satisfied with the impact I have made! So, it's time for me to move on to... drum roll please... White Plains! For those of you who don't know where that is, it's in upstate New York, a little bit north of The Bronx. There are lots of trees and nature, which will be a first for me on my mission haha. I am excited because I have been kind of feeling claustrophobic with all the tall buildings in Manhattan. The subway has been my primary form of transportation, and now I will be in my first car area! I haven't driven a car in almost 17 months, so it's going to feel REALLY weird! My new companion will be Elder Taylor! The only things I know about him is that he just finished being trained, and that he speaks fluent Hebrew haha. He seems ...

the one where I got on zoom with a millionaire

 February 8, 2021 Hello!!!!!!! I hope you all have had a great week! I don't have a lot of time so I'm going to try to make this email super simple and just talk about a few highlights! - it snowed mega  - Our friend that owns an empanada restaurant accepted The Book of Mormon and we have plans to go film him cook at his restaurant while sharing scriptures. Stay tuned for the videos on our Manhattan Spanish Facebook page. - I went with Elder Potter to Queens to go to MLC this week and it was super fun! Nothing too notable happened that day other than Elder Potter is an absolute clown and he was trying to get me to laugh when I shouldn't have been laughing haha. - We had Stake Correlation yesterday, which is where the mission president, stake president, and missionary leaders get together and talk about a bunch of boring stuff. The Stake President in Manhattan is for real like a millionaire and he is so powerful (as most people in Manhattan are), so I was very nervous when I...

Snow & the Best Pizza in the World

February 1, 2021 Hello!!! How is everyone doing? Elder Wooley and I are still on the grind everyday and it's such a blast! I could literally get hit by a car and I think I would still be smiling and laughing because Elder Wooley and I are just always joking, but also always working! Our recent convert, Alejandro, said a prayer yesterday in a lesson and said "please bless Elder Webster so that he won't be sad when he gets transferred in a few weeks". I needed that haha, I get sad just thinking about leaving. But I still have 2 weeks left here! It started snowing last night and it's not supposed to stop until Wednesday! It is already super deep, which is really exciting! Today for P-Day, we just got onto a random subway and took a random bus just to see where we would end up. We ended up downtown at a pizza place that claimed to be the best pizza in the whole world haha. The guy said that when Italian people come in he tells them "congratulations, you finally h...
