February 15, 2021 Well, my time in Harlem is coming to an end. I seriously love this place sooo much and I just want to stay here forever. But, at the same time, I feel like I have accomplished all I needed to accomplish here, and I am satisfied with the impact I have made! So, it's time for me to move on to... drum roll please... White Plains! For those of you who don't know where that is, it's in upstate New York, a little bit north of The Bronx. There are lots of trees and nature, which will be a first for me on my mission haha. I am excited because I have been kind of feeling claustrophobic with all the tall buildings in Manhattan. The subway has been my primary form of transportation, and now I will be in my first car area! I haven't driven a car in almost 17 months, so it's going to feel REALLY weird! My new companion will be Elder Taylor! The only things I know about him is that he just finished being trained, and that he speaks fluent Hebrew haha. He seems ...

 February 8, 2021 Hello!!!!!!! I hope you all have had a great week! I don't have a lot of time so I'm going to try to make this email super simple and just talk about a few highlights! - it snowed mega  - Our friend that owns an empanada restaurant accepted The Book of Mormon and we have plans to go film him cook at his restaurant while sharing scriptures. Stay tuned for the videos on our Manhattan Spanish Facebook page. - I went with Elder Potter to Queens to go to MLC this week and it was super fun! Nothing too notable happened that day other than Elder Potter is an absolute clown and he was trying to get me to laugh when I shouldn't have been laughing haha. - We had Stake Correlation yesterday, which is where the mission president, stake president, and missionary leaders get together and talk about a bunch of boring stuff. The Stake President in Manhattan is for real like a millionaire and he is so powerful (as most people in Manhattan are), so I was very nervous when I...

February 1, 2021 Hello!!! How is everyone doing? Elder Wooley and I are still on the grind everyday and it's such a blast! I could literally get hit by a car and I think I would still be smiling and laughing because Elder Wooley and I are just always joking, but also always working! Our recent convert, Alejandro, said a prayer yesterday in a lesson and said "please bless Elder Webster so that he won't be sad when he gets transferred in a few weeks". I needed that haha, I get sad just thinking about leaving. But I still have 2 weeks left here! It started snowing last night and it's not supposed to stop until Wednesday! It is already super deep, which is really exciting! Today for P-Day, we just got onto a random subway and took a random bus just to see where we would end up. We ended up downtown at a pizza place that claimed to be the best pizza in the whole world haha. The guy said that when Italian people come in he tells them "congratulations, you finally h...

 January 25, 2021 Buenas tardes a todossssssss! No, the subject of this email is not clickbait, that really happened. Here are some of the highlights from the week:   1- We met a guy on Facebook that owns a restaurant downtown (right by the Empire State Building) called Exotic Empanadas NYC and it's rated 4.5 stars and apparently there is an article about him in the New York Times. He is legit. He told us he had an idea where he wants to not only fill people with food, but also fill them with the word of God. The only problem is, he is so busy cooking, he can't share the gospel at the same time, and he needs help. So, he asked us to come to his restaurant a few times a week and teach the gospel to all of his customers. ISN'T THAT SO COOL? Keep in mind, this guy isn't even a member of the church. So now we have Saturday shifts at a 4.5 star restaurant in downtown Manhattan to preach the word. He also gave us some free empanadas and they were SO GOOD! 2- A me...

 January 18, 2021 HELLO EMAIL SQUAD! How have you all been? This week was really really amazing and I had lots of powerful spiritual experiences. I think Elder Wooley and I might be allergic to the spirit because we kept getting teary-eyed throughout the week. Pretty strange. First of all, Alejandro got baptized! He was SO ready! The baptismal service went smoothly, and he loved every second. My favorite part was when he bore his testimony at the end. I think every person in the room started crying in that moment. He said that he has been praying for 30 years and never saw any answers come, and he started to doubt God's existence. But when he met us, he finally started to feel God's love, see answers come, had experienced a huge change of heart, and knows God led him exactly where he needs to be. It was so amazing to hear him say that and getting to see the small role I got to play in his conversion. My family was able to watch the baptism over zoom, which was also super cool! ...

 January 11, 2021  BUENOSSS DÍAS A TODOSSSSSSS!!!!! How are you all doing? I am doing well, and my week was awesome! Hopefully you are all doing well! Let me know if I can pray for anything or anyone! Okay, here are some of the highlights from the week: - ALEJANDRO PASSED HIS BAPTISMAL INTERVIEW! We have only been teaching him for 5 weeks and I was confident he would pass. He is SO prepared! His baptism will be this Saturday and we are all so excited! He told us he wants to be in contact with us forever and one day get our grandkids together to tell them "our story". He is the best! I wish you all could meet him because he just RADIATES joy all the time. He is just so thankful he met us and found the church! - One of our favorite members, Hermano Herrera, invited us to go running with him one morning. We excitedly accepted, but we didn't realize what we had just gotten ourselves into. Apparently Hermano Herrera runs marathons and is an ANIMAL. We met him in Central Park a...

 January 4, 2021 Happy New Year!! This past year for me has been INSANE. Just to sum it all up in a sentence, this year was spent in Queens, The Bronx, and Manhattan, with 8 companions, 3 baptisms, and a pandemic. Crazy to think almost a year ago we got locked inside our apartments with no idea what to do. I have always wanted to spend New Years Eve in Manhattan, and I finally got to do that this year. But Times Square was blocked off and apparently it looked like a ghost town. Completely empty. I was also in bed by 10:30 so it wasn't exactly the Manhattan new years I always wanted to experience haha.  Yesterday I got a call from the Hawaii Temple Visitors Center, and it was my good friend from home, Caitlynn Driggs! She had a referral for me and called to tell me about it! It was such a surprise talking to her haha and it was so fun! We took a picture together over the phone, even though it was just a voice call. I'll add the picture into this email so you know what I am...
