WEEK 9

This week was SO fast. Time literally is so weird on the mission. 
On pday last week we went to ozone falls with the district which was so much fun! I love this district so much and I'm going to miss them! Today is my last pday with the most legendary district ever, so we are going to pack today full of fun stuff. 
Well, I'm getting transferred.... I'm so sad and actually pretty scared haha. I am going to be serving in a Young Single Adult ward in bearsden. But the scary part is that I am going to be in a district with the APs and I'm going to be the social media specialist!! Nooooo!!!!!!!! This means that i have to get instagram (😭) and i have to teach everyone how to better use social media. I barely know how to view my profile on Facebook, and now I'm gonna be training the mission how to use social media... this will be really interesting considering that I have never had social media my entire life. Oh boy. Idk what president Graham was thinking, social media is not my jam. 

We had a super good lesson with ben, and he came to church!!!!!  In the lessons we talked about temples and how peaceful they are. He said he WILL be baptized this year, he just doesn't know exactly when cuz he is going thru a lot. The coolest part about that lesson was that I said some WAY awesome stuff that I never would have thought to say. It's was 100% the holy ghost putting words into my mouth because the things that I was saying were making him cry and after the lesson, I couldn't remember what I said. Everything about the lesson was so powerful. That was probably the coolest thing about this week. 

Oh I also felt like a 10 year old on thursday cuz I wasnt wearing mascara and my hair was in French braids, but then this lady we were talking to grabbed my arm and said that I needed to model when I got home from my mission  HAHA. It was really funny and I just laughed and she was like "no I'm being serious, you are gorgeous"😂 it was nice to get a compliment, but I won't be modeling 😂 
Sunday morning I was getting ready for church in the bathroom and I heard someone on the other side of the wall breathing/moaning really loudly. I just ignored it then I heard a guy yelling "help, someone please help!!" He was yelling so loudly, and me being me, I knocked on the wall and said "do you need help?"😂😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ he just kept yelling, so my companion and I ran out of our apartment and walked into his and he was an older big guy that had fallen in between his fridge and table. He couldn't move, so I shimmied his walker out from under him and then used all my strength to rotate him onto his back, then pull him into sitting position. He was a big guy, so there was no way we could help him stand, so we got him his phone, then proceeded to get ready for church😂 it was quite the morning haha but I'm so glad that we were home to help him.

Well that was my week! I am really sad to leave to leave Crossville. Antoinette, Ben, and Dustin are close to baptism and they have come such a long was since I've been here. But I trust sister jones and the new missionary she will be training to take good care of the people. 
Oh and the random pic of my comp haha she lost the magnet to her tag, so i got creative to make sure people could still see her tag😂
And there's a pic of a little gas station we went to haha

Week 64

Well sister Oldroyd is shipped off to Chattanooga 😥 BUT I love my new companion, sister Chan! I'm glad I get to serve with her and we are having so much fun! This week it was really a struggle to get return appointments with the people we are teaching and holy moly, it is a never ending battle and it makes me want to lose my mind sometimes. I love these people so so much, but I get really tired if spending time trying to chase them down to have a lesson😂I just want to consistently teach someone, BUT it's not about what I want, it's about how God wants to use me as his hands. And I guess right now he is needing me to do a LOT of seed planting. After a long week of seed planting, I am eager to pick fruit, but unfortunately it takes a lot of time. The beginning of the week consisted of going around and saying goodbye to people since sister Oldroyd is leaving. So we took a lot of pics with members and friends. I'm glad I'm not the one leaving because I am getting kind...

Week 59

Week 59 Hey yall! I had a pretty good week, but it was definitely one of those weeks where you thought it was never gonna end. I was really tired and never really fully woke up through the day, so that was tough. Buuuut we survived! This week I got to experience the deep southern part of our area. It's a town called Gainesboro and boy.... this was a small town. We visited a member who lives in a house built in the 1800s and he just hooked one singular water pipe to it last week. He's gone this long without plumbing or water. We also have to drive across (literally) a creek to get to his house, so we had to go on a dry day or else you would literally have to drive thru a river haha! I was surrounded with a bunch of people with the thickest accents I've ever heard and I loved it! Oh.... I got told not once, but TWICE that I have picked up some accent... That's the 3rd time in the last 3 months or so I've been told that. Sister walker (a missionary who went home last...

Week 61

This week was PACKED. We had MLC and Zone Conference. And on Tuesday we had 0 miles, so we walked everywhere (which wouldn't normally be much of a problem, but there are so sidewalks or shoulders between the road and the ditch, so you just hope that people see you and scoot over or else you will get hit) so that was a little rough. I realized how grateful I am for a car haha! So a little update on our friends we are teaching : Samantha. Oh man, I don't even know where to start! So we had a lesson with her about the Word of Wisdom, and the very next day she said no to sweet tea, and she came up with a plan for this class she goes to that serves everyone coffee so that she can have something else to drink instead! And she read 1Nephi 1 all the way to 2 Nephi 10 in Less than 24 hours!!!!! I was BLOWN away by her!! She said that no other church has made her feel this way and she feels like she has a family. It was the most tender thing ever. We got to have some time to walk around ...
