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...

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...
