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 like a really awesome guy and I am excited to get to know him more. I am still going to be a zone leader, but over the Westchester Zone. My zone leader companion is Elder Giles (who also spells his first name like Jaxon, and we kinda knew each other before the mission... what are the odds!) Also, my MTC companion, Elder Martin, will be in my district! I am so excited to see him all the time and go on exchanges!!! ALSO, one of my FAVORITE companions ever, Elder Goodman, will be taking my spot here in Harlem. Elder Goodman and Elder Wooley are like my best friends, and now they are coming to my favorite area to be zone leaders together. ABSOLUTE LEGENDS!


Enough about transfers, my last week in Harlem was SO good!!!!! Our recent convert Luis gave his first talk at church and it was REALLY good! Afterwards, our other recent convert, Alejandro, received the priesthood! He is so happy! Alejandro bought the 3 of us matching ties, since he knew I was leaving soon. I love him so much!

We are working with the restaurant Exotic Empanadas NYC to share the gospel with their customers. Isn't that a cool sentence? We went there and filmed a video in the kitchen about the importance of salt in cooking, and what the Bible says about salt. It was really fun and the video turned out SUPER GOOD! It will be posted tonight on the Manhattan Spanish facebook page at 6:00! Go watch it! It is so cool!

I went on some fire exchanges this week with Elders money, Cloward, and Stephenson and we just grindddeedddd. It was awesome. Elder Wooley and I have been talking in British accents for the past 4 days and for some reason we can't stop. Like, today while reading the scriptures, I was accidentally reading it in an accent inside my head. Its been really funny but its getting kind of out of hand. It's so hard to stop.

THATS IT!! THATS A WRAP FOR ME IN HARLEM! IM SUPER SAD TO LEAVE BUT WHITE PLAINS WILL BE AWESOME!

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 ...

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...

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 ...
