WEEK 2: Home MTC

 This week flew by. I got to teach a lady named Elena (an mtc volunteer) and it went so well! I am starting to be much more confident in teaching and being vulnerable. It is such a beautiful thing opening up and letting the spirit guide your words. I will be honest, I wasn't used to it. I have never been one to openly be vulnerable about my spiritual feelings, but when I'm in an environment with other missionaries, a whole new side of me opens up. I hope to never lose this because I love the feelings I get when I share with other people. I have learned so much from my district as well. 

My scenery hasn't changed a bit, I'm still looking at a computer on a desk in my room. I try to get out of the house as much as I can, but it isn't a lot. I appreciate any time I get to spend with my family so much more. I don't vocalize it much, but I have seen what each one of them has done to help me with this mtc experience and it has made all the difference. I know it can be inconvenient for them sometimes to plan around me, but they haven't once complained or wished otherwise. Their support has carried me this far, and I am so grateful that I am able to online mtc and still be with my family. It has been such a blessing.

cool quote from a devotional I watched: No one can fall lower than Christ's light can shine:)

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...
