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!!

The Land of Spider-man

November 17, 2019 Hola! All is well here in New York City! I CANNOT believe how amazing it is here, and how happy I am doing the work I am doing. There is nowhere I would rather be, and no work I would rather be doing. I have found so much more joy than I thought was possible in being a missionary. I've had so many incredible experiences this week, but I will only share a few for the sake of time, and for the sake of the length of this email. So buckle up, there's a lot I want to share with you all but I don't want to bore anyone so I will try to condense it. My new companion is named Elder Stanford! He is from San Francisco California, and is one heck of a guy! He is the best trainer I could ask for, and I love him so much. Seriously, no complaints. The area I was assigned to serve in is called Richmond Hill! Its in Queens (and a little bit of Brooklyn), and I love it so much! Its literally where Spiderman lives! The high school that they filmed Spiderman at is really ...

April 27, 2020 Wow! You would think I would run out of updates to write about since we are still stuck at home, but I have some news! But first, thank you so much to everyone that sent Elder Goodman and I something! We got like 6 meals delivered to us throughout the week and some packages and letters! It was a fantastic birthday! I feel super blessed! When I asked people to send me stuff last week I was kind of joking because I didn't think anyone would actually do it, but we have been LOADED with food and packages! Thank you everyone! I also feel mega blessed because WE FINALLY KILLED A MOUSE! After many sleepless nights, trips to the store for traps, and praying, we got 1! We have seen rats and other mice too, so the war is not over. But 1 mouse is progress! We got transfer calls on Saturday night, and Elder Goodman and I are both staying in Olmstead. But the thing is, since so many missionaries got sent home, a bunch of areas have been shut down. The entire Chinese Zone clo...

Urgent Care + TRANSFERS!

March 16, 2020 It's a crazy time to be a missionary, for sure! Due to the Coronavirus, church was canceled worldwide, and everyone is avoiding contact with everyone! It makes it a little hard for us to work because... inviting people to church and talking to as many people as possible is what we do! I am not entirely sure how to do missionary work effectively in this circumstance, but we are figuring it out one day at a time. Because we try to talk to literally everyone we see, I actually got sick this week! Elder Larson and I were told to stay inside to rest and to avoid spreading anything. We have been at home for the past 3 days! The mission doctor also asked me to go to Urgent Care, just to make sure I didn't have Corona Virus. They took my blood and ran tests. Turns out, I AM OKAY. Thank goodness! They still don't want us to leave the house though because of everything that's going on in the world. So, we have been doing as much missionary work from home as we ...
