119 Miracles

 March 1, 2021

Another great week here in White Plains! We have just been SO busy! One day, we had 12 lessons planned all back-to-back. I counted, and we had an average of 7 lessons planned per day, which is PRETTY AWESOME if you ask me. This area is legit.


I posted an ad on Facebook for free English classes, which I have done several times before but I rarely see much come from it. Well this time, I got 119 COMMENTS AND 9 SHARES from people wanting to come to the class! I was able to set up lots and LOTS of appointments to tell them about the class, and ask if they were interested in doing free bible studies with us. I've setup several return appointments for gospel lessons and we have been very busy! Miracle!

We were trying to baptize our friend Jorge on Saturday, but long story short, it didn't happen. We tried setting up the interview, but Elder Taylor's phone broke and we didn't receive the messages from President Teuscher (oof), and the baptism just never happened haha. After a few phone calls and the entire zone praying for us, we were able to setup the interview for tomorrow and hoping the baptism happens THIS Saturday! We have mission goals to baptize 40 people every month, and we think God wanted Jorge to get baptized in March, because we already achieved our February goal. Please pray for him that he will pass his interview!

I got to go over to President and Sister Mortensen's house this week! I've mentioned this before, but they represented Adam and Eve in a church video. If you know, you know. It is so cool seeing them because they are just SO righteous you can FEEL it, and its also just cool seeing them in real life other than in the video. Their kids were making snow cones out of snow in the backyard, and they gave me a little ticket to buy one from them haha. They made me a piña colada snow cone and it was really good!

I went on an exchange with the office elders, and I went with Elder Barnes. Nothing too crazy happened, but their apartment, being on the 23rd floor, had a view of Manhattan, and it felt really good to see! I know its crazy, but the city just feels like home to me now. White Plains is awesome but I spent almost 17 months in the city, so it was just really nice to see it again from a distance. We unexchanged in Yonkers, which is basically just The Bronx, but we have cars. It was wild. Their chapel looks really run down and old haha, I will attach a picture of it into this email so you can see.

That is pretty much all the notable things from this week. How are y'all doing? I hope all is well! Let me know! Have a great week!

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...

Harlem is ALIVE

 January 11, 2021  BUENOSSS DÍAS A TODOSSSSSSS!!!!! How are you all doing? I am doing well, and my week was awesome! Hopefully you are all doing well! Let me know if I can pray for anything or anyone! Okay, here are some of the highlights from the week: - ALEJANDRO PASSED HIS BAPTISMAL INTERVIEW! We have only been teaching him for 5 weeks and I was confident he would pass. He is SO prepared! His baptism will be this Saturday and we are all so excited! He told us he wants to be in contact with us forever and one day get our grandkids together to tell them "our story". He is the best! I wish you all could meet him because he just RADIATES joy all the time. He is just so thankful he met us and found the church! - One of our favorite members, Hermano Herrera, invited us to go running with him one morning. We excitedly accepted, but we didn't realize what we had just gotten ourselves into. Apparently Hermano Herrera runs marathons and is an ANIMAL. We met him in Central Park a...
