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!

Elder Webster

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...
