Zone Conference Week

May 24, 2021

Another wild one coming in hot.

Zone Conference was this week, and President asked Elder Money and me to give a training to the whole mission about Device Audits. Our mission has NEVER done device audits, so we had no experience. So we actually did device audits about a week in advance to get practice, and we studied the doctrine behind why we do it. It was incredible and we learned so much. We had to go to EVERY zone conference around the mission and we ended up giving our training not 1, not 2, but 12 times this week to different zones. It got a little repetitive for us, but we LOVED it every time. We were very busy traveling around the mission, setting up and teaching missionaries all week. I got to see EVERY missionary in the mission face to face within just a couple of days. It was awesome!

After each zone conference, I got to go on exchanges with Zone Leaders. My favorite was with my guy Elder Wooley!!!!!!!! He is my favorite person on the whole planet and it was so nice spending a day with him again. We got a parking ticket that day too. Fun times. He goes to his originally assigned mission in Mexico City in a few weeks and I am so sad :(

Our best friend Raquel is getting baptized this week!!! She is a professional cat sitter and a retired punk rock band singer. She is incredible. She is so converted and the ward loves her!

Elder Money is awesome. Inwood is alive. I love you all. Have a great week!!!!

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...
