week 11

This week was so fast, as always. I also found out that this transfer is only a 5 week transfer. That means less time with Sister Christensen 😥 it's sad, but we are making it fun! 
This week consisted of teaching, visiting people, doing Facebook ads, and ysa activities. Nothing super eventful, but I like it. 
Last pday we went to the mall across the street and it is so nice! We went with 2 other sisters and we looked around and I may or may not have got some stuff... 
My comp and I had dinner with President and Sister Graham and that was fun! The food was so good and they stuffed us full of dessert. 
The coolest part of my week was getting to teach Chris. He has a date to be baptized, and he even agree to move it up to next month! So I'll get to be here for that! I'm really excited for him. 
Something that I have been working on this week is making my studies meaningful. I have struggled with this, but I made so much progress. I read from the book of mormon every morning and I take notes on it. This has made such a huge difference, and to anyone who isn't reading the Book of mormon everyday, try it!! I promise you won't regret it. It's pretty cool getting an hour every morning to just study. Highly recommend doing it!
This week wasn't too eventful, but I'm loving being a missionary. Getting to know both wards is fun too!

Week 73

Wow this was a fast week... It's getting real yall. It was a really good week tho! Zone Conference! My very last zone conference😢 I gave my departing testimony and it was weird to be on that side of it because my whole mission I've been watching other missionaries give their departing testimonies and now all of a sudden it was me! But it was a really spiritual experience and I loved it. The rest of this week was super duper good! Lots of small miracles that lifted my spirits. We are finding quite a few new people to teach and I'm actually really excited about them! There was this one guy we talked to on his porch in passing, and we invited him to church, but then the phone number he gave us didn't work. BUT he showed up to church 6 days later!! I gave a talk in sacrament and after the meeting he asked if he could have a book of mormon 😱 his name is James and he is so cool!! We also prayed really hard on Friday that we could plant a lot of seeds...

Week 74

Alrighty, here I am again. This was MIRACLE filled week. It had its ups and downs, but I'm going to focus on the ups! So first of all, the big miracle is James!!! This has got to be the most prepared person I have ever met on my entire mission! Not an exaggeration! I can't remember exactly what I've said about him in the past, so here's a little summary. We were walking around a neighborhood last Sunday after church and we decided to knock his door. He was really nice, so we came back on Tuesday to do a Bible study. Then we lost contact with him for the rest of the week. BUT he showed up to church on Sunday!!! We were so shocked!! Then he came to church AGAIN and he had read all the way up to Jacob, and he knew everything about the saints leaving to Utah, their history, everything about Joseph Smith and Emma Smith, and a bunch of other random facts! He said he knew Joseph Smith was called of God and he never wanted to stop coming to our church because he said it feels ...

WEEK 6: Crossville, TN

 This week flew by, which I guess is a good thing! To jump right into things, we are teaching quite a few people right now, and I can see 3 of them being baptized by the end of this transfer. I've been praying so hard about it, because I have developed such a strong love for them individually and I want them to progress and be baptized soooo badly. It's funny cuz you don't realize how much you love and cherish the gospel until you start teaching it to someone who doesn't know it. I really hope to see a baptism before the transfer ends because I care about these people so much.  Sister Jones and I have been working hard and we have found so many new people to teach! I've definitely changed a lot in a few weeks cuz I get genuinely excited to knock on someone's door, and I stand there hoping that they answer. I won't lie, the first week, I would feel a flood of relief if someone didn't answer their door😅 so I've come a long way!  I also love visiting p...
