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 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...

The Great Wall of White Plains

March 22, 2021   ¿CÓMO ESTÁN TODOS? ITS ELDER WEBSTER BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER EMAIL! I don't have lots of time today, so I will try to be quick! I had my AP exchange with Elder Walters. It was fire.   I had my interview with President Teuscher. That was also fire. Elder Weller is finding like 8 new people to teach every week just from English class, so I requested an exchange with him to learn how he does it! I learned A LOT and our next couple days are already packed full of 1st lessons with people! I went on another exchange with Elder Martin (wow I go on so many exchanges). That was also fire. We invited 4 people to be baptized (Brayan, Doris, Milly, and Iker), and all of them said YES, but none of them felt ready to commit to a date yet, because they feel like they still need to learn more first. That is okay, at least we know that they are willing, and they know our intentions! Please pray for them to feel ready soon! The CUTEST little girl that I used to teach...
