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 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...

Raquel's Baptism!

  May 31, 2021 Okay. This week was incredible! I'll keep it as brief as possible even though I could probably talk all day about this stuff. RAQUEL GOT BAPTIZED! It was amazing! She is so happy, and has made some major life adjustments in order to be worthy. She feels amazing and couldn't be happier! She texted us the morning after and said "the next time you go talk to people about Jesus, I want to come with you". So we had her join us for some lessons, and she was inviting everyone to be baptized! It was awesome! She used to be a rockstar and lived a wild entertainer lifestyle, but now she is the holiest, most PRESTIGIOUS cat-sitter in Manhattan. No joke, she has about 300 clients and visits their lofts/rich apartments regularly to take care of their cats. So cool. My friends, Jeri and Alex, who I met at work back in Arizona, and who also receive these emails (you guys rock by the way!) are meeting with missionaries! Because I helped in the process of finding and pr...
