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

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 ...

"Hurricane" Henri

August 23, 2021 To whom it may concern, This week was great! There was a hurricane over the weekend so we were in a hurry trying to contact parents and get missionaries who live on the coast to safer places to live as we waited out the storm. We were all very underwhelmed because it was probably the weakest hurricane in history haha, but I am glad no damage was done! All missionaries were on lockdown and church was cancelled. We live in the same building as President and Sister Holmes, so we were on lockdown with them and spent the day working on things together. I feel extremely blessed. They are changing my life every day. Elder Call and I got to proselyte a lot this week! It was my first time doing it in a few months, so we gave it everything we had, especially because neither of us have much time left to do it! We found a few new people to teach, but the biggest miracle was Mario! We met him at a taco stand when we were getting lunch. It turns out he was already meeting with t...

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,...
