week 14

Transfer calls!!!!! Quick story time, remember back to the first night i flew to Knoxville and I was having a super rough time feeling ignored by the other missionaries at the airport, and then i spent that night in the hotel with Sister Garbett and she made me feel so much better because she was so kind, caring and funny? And remember when I went on exchanges last transfer with Sister Williams and we had everything in common and I said it was the most fun day of my entire mission? Well..... IM GOING TO BE IN A TRIO WITH BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 I am so excited!!!! This is going to be a wild transfer 😆 
On the other hand, it has been sad having to sister Christensen get ready to leave. We have had some really good times and she has taught me SO much about what it means to work HARD💪

OK so some pretty awesome stuff happened this week! We had an awesome lesson with shirly and joann and the spirit totally hijacked the lesson. We were going to teach plan of salvation, but then when I started talking, I taught the 3rd lesson instead (the gospel of jesus christ). I didn't mean to, but that's what started coming out of my mouth, so I went with it! It was a powerful lesson and I even extended a baptismal invitation! Sister Christensen's was got wide cuz she didn't see it coming, but I did it so smoothly (well, it was the spirit not me. I was just moving my mouth). It was such a cool lesson. 
We also had Chris's baptism on Saturday!!! I'll attach some pics from that, but it was sooo awesome! Chris is the funniest man ever. He was 10 minutes late to his baptism, and he was 10 minutes late to his confirmation hahaha it was stressful. But the baptism was so awesome and the sprit was strong! I'm so glad I got to be here for that!
Another thing.... a girl in the YSA named Sam came up to me at church and asked me if I was staying in the area for another transfer, And when I said yes, she asked if I would go with her to the temple!!!!!!! My heart rate literally shot up, I got so excited!!! She is going to get endowed, and she wanted my to come with her!! So I'll get to go to the temple on the 23rd of this month WHOO HOOOO!!!!! This is the only way I get to go to the temple on my mission is if someone we are teaching goes, or if someone in our ward invites us to go with them for their first time. IM SO HAPPY! 

My mission so far has been so amazing. Everyone back at home, or whoever reads this, think of one person you know that could use this gospel, and talk to your local missionaries, and refer them to your friend. Even if the person you are thinking of is in another state, the missionaries can send the info to the missionaries that are near them. You will see miracles from this! 

Well, that was the majority of my week! I'm slowly learning how to juggle serving in 2 wards, and run ads for the mission, and go to all the YSA activities, SMS meetings, and run 2 wards. It's like serving 2 missions at once. It's a lot and it's really stressful at times, but it's pushing me and I love it!

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...
