Moving!

 June 7, 2021 

What's good email squad? This week was pretty tough, not going to lie. On Tuesday, we started moving all of our furniture into our new apartment! We LOVE our new apartment (address is 55 Nagle Avenue apt #2C... send me something if you're brave) but it was pretty tiring carrying heavy furniture up and down stairs all day in the heat and humidity. I found a super fancy (and free!) dinner table on Facebook that I picked up from the Bronx, but it turns out they lived on the 14th floor of their building and the table didn't fit in the elevator. That was fun. We got moved in for the most part, but we ran out of time. We have been on exchanges around the mission EVERY SINGLE DAY this week so we haven't even been home to finish moving in. One day, we went on 2 exchanges in the same day. Anyway, moving has been a work in progress but hopefully we can finally finish today!

So we were teaching Anthony Ramos, the main actor from the new movie In The Heights, and his dad Mario. Mario kept sending us videos of Anthony drifting in a car on the set of the new Transformers movie they are filming, it was so cool. But we actually had to stop teaching them because they are way too busy to meet with us, and we are too busy to wait on them. Maybe in the future! In The Heights comes out this weekend. Someone watch it and tell me if they see me preaching in the background. Jk haha

I remember at the beginning of my mission, the AP's went on an exchange with me because I was struggling with finding people to teach. That exchange helped me SO much! This past week, President asked us to go on an exchange with a struggling companionship to help them! It was such an important moment for me because I realized how far I have come. I was once the struggling missionary, now I am the one that gets to help the struggling missionaries! Funny how that worked out. I guess Ether 12:27 wasn't joking.

Other than that, no new updates (that I'm allowed to talk about 👀). Love you all!!

August 9, 2021 Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week! I'm writing this email having spent 110% of my energy this week on the work of the Lord. I almost have no energy left other than the promise in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me". I'm going into my 6th month with little sleep and an enormous workload, and It's catching up to me now, but I'll be okay. I seriously feel like the only thing keeping me going is Jesus Christ, which is an incredible feeling having given everything to the Lord. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm definitely not complaining, but I'm insanely grateful for the opportunity to serve. There is nothing more fulfilling than this work, and even though I feel like I've given everything I have, I still wish I could give more. We picked up 31 new missionaries from the airport this week! Having to organize the logistics for their travel, hotel, and meals was pretty chaotic,...

Goodbye New York City

  September 13, 2021 It pains me to say that this was my last week as a missionary. We had a general authority (Elder Bassett) visit the mission all week, and Elder Call and I were in charge of the technology. I could probably write a whole email about all the miracles, struggles, and work that went into that. Maybe that's a story for another day. We picked up my replacement, Elder Wolfgramm, and have been training him on some things before I go. It has been an absolute blast being in a trio with them. I reflected a lot this week on the past 2 years and the things I have learned. I want to make a brief summary of my mission and say what I learned from each of my areas and companions! It will probably be boring for you, but it's mostly just for me to write down some thoughts to look back on one day haha. Mexico MTC - Elder Martin I learned spanish, kinda. Elder Martin has also taught me a lot about friendship and loyalty. He is SUCH a good friend. I am still learning from him ev...

EMERGENCY *MUST READ*

November 9, 2020 What's up!!!! I'm not sure if you all heard, but the elections were this week. We don't watch the news or anything so I received the update when the ENTIRE city went out onto the streets with cowbells, trumpets, frying pans, and other noisemakers to celebrate. It was crazy. New York is very very very blue. That's all I will say. I emailed President Teuscher about my concerns with my companion's obedience, and he said "I will see what I can do". Well he actually did a LOT to help! He made a whole PowerPoint presentation on obedience and shared it in a mission-wide devotional. We also had a mission leadership meeting in Queens this week and had a big discussion about how to help the 27 new incoming missionaries be obedient... the answer: WE ARE OBEDIENT OURSELVES. We made plans to do a 40 day fast as a mission from EVERYTHING we may cut corners on when it comes to rules. Anyway, I feel like my emails to President sparked a big mission-wide f...
