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 was asked to lead the discussion for the meeting. It all turned out well though and we made some good plans to get the stake more involved in missionary work!

- I love Elder Wooley so much

- This next week will be my last week in Harlem :( Cast your votes to see where President boots me to next transfer

- Today for P-day, the elders in my district walked down 5th Avenue, bought some fancy over-priced chocolate, went to the lego store, NBC Studios, and Grand Central Station. Then we finished the day off with some Chopped Cheese (if you don't know what that is, look it up, you're missing out big time. It's a delicacy here.)

- Pray for Verenice, Noemy, Dolores, and Angel. All of them are slowly but surely progressing but they need some spiritual experiences to really get things rolling!

Love you all! Have a phenomenal week!

Zone Conference Week

August 16, 2021 What's good!!! This week was Zone Conference week, so we were running all over the mission giving trainings and making sure everything went smoothly. It was my last Zone Conference ever, which was sad, but I was honestly pretty relieved after it was over because its really stressful organizing the whole thing. Departing missionaries are always asked to share their testimony at their last Zone Conference, but because I attended ALL the zone conferences, I got to do it every day. We dropped Elder Money off at the airport on Thursday morning! It was super sad! I love that guy. He was such a great companion! Elder Call and I actually had time to do normal missionary work yesterday for the first time in months! We grabbed a stack of Book of Mormons and rode the subway up and down Manhattan for a few hours and passed out as many as we could. Elder Call met a guy named Nephi who isn't even a member of the church. It was so cool. I met a guy from The Bronx that spit ...

Grind Szn

August 9, 2021 Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week! I'm writing this email having spent 110% of my energy this week on the work of the Lord. I almost have no energy left other than the promise in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me". I'm going into my 6th month with little sleep and an enormous workload, and It's catching up to me now, but I'll be okay. I seriously feel like the only thing keeping me going is Jesus Christ, which is an incredible feeling having given everything to the Lord. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm definitely not complaining, but I'm insanely grateful for the opportunity to serve. There is nothing more fulfilling than this work, and even though I feel like I've given everything I have, I still wish I could give more. We picked up 31 new missionaries from the airport this week! Having to organize the logistics for their travel, hotel, and meals was pretty chaotic,...

The Temple and a Taco Stand

August 30, 2021 buenos días hermanos y hermanas! How you livin???? I got to go to the temple this week! The last time I went to the temple was in Mexico at the MTC, almost 2 years ago. I was blown away by how my understanding of the gospel has improved since then. The temple made SO much more sense and I felt the spirit really strongly. I had some really powerful experiences and insights while I was in there that I will never forget. About 2 weeks ago, Elder Call and I bought tacos from a guy named Mario at a taco stand on the street. We talked to him while he made our tacos, and we ended up inviting him to be baptized right there on the street! Only 2 weeks later, and HE WAS BAPTIZED YESTERDAY! It was a huge miracle. I have struggled with the fact that I haven't had much time to find or teach lately, and have been praying to find ways to more feel like I am fulfilling my missionary purpose. Mario was definitely an answer to my prayers and I am so grateful to God for providi...
