Week 19

I actually really enjoyed this week!! We got a lot done and it went by quickly. We taught so many lessons and we got to talk to tons of people with all sorts of different backgrounds. One of my favorite things to do as a missionary is to visit less active members. I don't know what it is about it, but its definitely at the top of my list of favorite things to do. I love hearing their stories and helping them come back to the safe and peaceful environment that the church offers. So I made lots of time this week to visit them!
This week wasn't too eventful, other than having exchanges and getting yelled at by a lady that told us to never come back to the apartment again😅 (we're going back cuz we are teaching someone in the apartment complex). Oh and we had zone conference on Tuesday! It was my 3rd zone conference, which means I have 9 left. Kinda crazy! 
I really love this area, and I'm becoming very attached to the people. I'm hoping to stay at least another transfer here! Especially since Jessica might be coming to Tennessee and be in the ysa!!!!!!!!!!!! However, most of the YSA is leaving for the summer since they don't have school anymore. I was actually so sad about that, but I'm excited to meet the new YSA that move in for the summer. But other than that, this week was similar to last week and the week before that and the week before that😂 but I wouldn't rather be doing anything else! The people here are amazing and the scenery of Tennessee is breathtaking. 
We visited so many people this week and i was amazed with how much they appreciated us thinking about them. My piece of advice for everyone is to take time once a week to visit someone who has been on your mind. A short visit makes a huge difference and you never know what people are going through. God gives us prompting to help others because he trusts that we will actually do it. Otherwise he wouldn't give us those promptings. So don't let him down and act on the promptings you have cuz he trusts you enough to let you be his hands. That's a pretty big responsibility! You don't have to have a black name tag or even be a member of the church to share the light of christ with the people around you. It makes a huuuge difference in the world, whether you recognize it or not! 
I'm grateful for my family and for this gospel and for the opportunity I get to be a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!🤍

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...

Week 17

This has actually been a pretty awesome week! Miracles have definitely happened. One of the things that was the highlight, was that we were able to get our friend Claire on date to be baptized! Claire is the sweetest human ever. She is from the phillipines and was super curious about our church after the missionaries accidentally called her when they were given the wrong number by someone else. It has been so cool teaching her because when we first started teaching her, you could tell that there was a lot of confusion in her life and she was missing something. The more we taught her about the restored gospel, the more she got curious and excited to learn more. It was SO cool to witness that! She is doing so much studying on her own, and that has made her progression so much quicker. I love her soooo much!! On the flip side, I got so so so sick on tuesday and wednesday. Tuesday it was bad, I was struggling to breath on the couch during a zoom and I felt like garbage, so my comps said i ...

Week 33

Another week of covering 3 areas! It's been an adventure for sure and I'm actually kind of amazed that it is going this smoothly. We basically have 2 of everything because the 3 areas we are covering are in 2 different districts. So 2 DL calls, 2 district councils, 3 coordination meetings, it's crazy.  Here are some things that happened this week: -We got a random text from a lady that said she wanted to be baptized next month! -We had transfer calls and I am moving to Hixson! Its in the Chattanooga zone and I am going to be ward sharing with Sister Garbett!!!!  -we went to an outdoor festival and that was so fun! It was fun to be at a lively event with lots of people.  Other than that, nothing super crazy happened this week. I'm excited for this coming transfer and all it will entail! Thanks for all the love and support from everyone! It means a lot:)
