This week was super eventful!!!!!!!! I've seen lots of miracles this week! Miracles in the office are a little different than miracles in normal missionary work haha, they usually include some sort of sheet, training, or "side quest" that President sends us on.
First of all, for my birthday I asked for a "that was easy" button, one of those things where you press it and it says "that was easy!". It's been SO funny slamming it after we finish lessons or something.
On Wednesday I got to go to the airport to pick up some missionaries that went to Utah to sign some stuff for the visas to go to their original assignment. They were in Utah for like a couple of hours just to sign a paper and then they came back haha. They stayed at our apartment that night and it was a party!
On Thursday, there was a meeting for all the new missionaries, and I got to give a training on how to effectively daily plan! As I was preparing it, I prayed to know what I should share to these young missionaries to best help them. Immediately after my prayer, I got an awesome idea of using Jacob chapter 5 (allegory of the olive trees) and comparing it to planning (I called it the allegory of daily planning). I was SO proud of how it turned out! After I gave the training, President Teuscher messaged me and said "That was BRILLIANT". I know God answered my prayer and inspired me to know what to share!
On Friday, President asked us to make a video with all of the pictures of people baptized in the month of April so we could celebrate as a mission over zoom. I was on an exchange that day and didn't have much time to be editing videos, but I was able to find 30 extra minutes and grinded out the video. I think it turned out really good! Later that night, the WHOLE mission was on zoom to watch our video, but Elder Webb and I were having technical difficulties and the video wasn't playing for some reason. We had 250 people gathered together to watch a video that wasn't working. It was awkward. The Teuscher's stalled and had people share miracles as we figured it all out. After a few minutes of panicking and struggling with it, we got on our knees and prayed. IMMEDIATELY AFTER OUR PRAYER, Sister Teuscher said, "Assistants, are you ready?". We nervously checked to see if the video would work, AND IT DID. We were able to show everyone our video, and I saw a few people crying at the end of it. I'd say it was a success. And a MIRACLE it all worked out after we prayed!
I went to both Long Island AND Connecticut for the first time this week. Crazy stuff.
This next week is the last week of the transfer, which means we are going to be BUSY. Tomorrow we get to spend a majority of the day with President in his office and do "transfer planning", where we get to help decide who goes where. Apparently he is going to take us in his tesla to get lunch at a deli. I'm super excited!

We are teaching plenty of awesome people too! David, Chyna, Lorna, Uzziel, Jennifer, and Demitria are all super awesome and progressing well! Pray for them please!
Every night, Elder Webb and I celebrate our blessings with gratitude eggos. We call them "greggos". There's nothing like greggos at midnight. Thats the assistant life in a nutshell.
Last thing. The mission nurse told me that the state of New York no longer requires masks if you're vaccinated! So I'm probably going to get vaccinated soon and hopefully be able to knock a door or 2 before the end of my mission.
Love you all!
