Week 24

Not gonna lie, this week was a long one😪 not for any specific reason, the time just didn't want to pass by quick. This also sounds backwards, but I want to be worked so hard that I pass out every night, cuz right now I feel like I'm floating day by day, and I want to feel like I'm climbing day by day. I'd rather lose a hard competetive tennis match than win an easy one. So I'm trying to spice up this area, but so far the spice isn't cookin🫤 But we did have many small miracles that happened! We found quite a few new people to teach, and Michael came to church again on Sunday!!! We are going to invite him to be baptized when we visit with this week, so prayers would be much appreciated for Michael and his readiness for baptism😁. 
I also had to deadlift a 250lb man off the ground cuz he fell and we were the only ones there to help. 
Side note: this humidity is NO JOKE... we wake up in the mornings and the back doors look like shower doors. I'll attach a picture lol. It's dreadful. I've never sweat so much in my life, I feel like those middle school teenage boys in PE, it's terrible. The hot humid air literally takes away my breath when I step outside. So basically I am counting down the days till fall!
There is so much potential in this area, and I can see it with everyone that I talk to. I can tell that the shell is about to crack, and the work that needs to be done will multiply by a ton. I am so excited for when that is gonna happen, and I hope it happens soon!

Week 41

Hello everyone! another week down! Here are some cool things that happened this week: We went to go visit a lady named Kylene and she was really confused who we were, but after a while, it all of a sudden clicked and she just lit up saying how excited she was to come to church again! Apparently her grandma who passed away like 20 years ago was a member of the church and she used to go with her all the time! So everyone please pray for Kylene that she can feel welcomed and have a desire to learn and be baptized. She was so awesome and she has so much potential! So THANK YOU to all y'all who prayed for finding miracles, cuz it is working!!!  On Saturday we went to a fall festival in soddy daisy and there was this really nice guy working at a booth who bought us a funnel cake! He was so cool! Walking around all the markets and booths/tents, we got a lot of weird looks and we even had one guy call us nuns 😂 I said "almost, haha, we are missionaries!" That was my 3rd time be...

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 34

Transfers!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 My new companion is Sister Kirkman and SHE. IS. AWESOME.🔥 This is her 2nd transfer, so I am 2nd half training her, but shes literally got everything down💪 I am in Hixson Tennessee near Chattanooga which is fun. We've have a random heat wave blow through and that has not been fun. I'm so ready to break out the sweaters! Also, our apartment has a roach problem... I opened up a drawer to get a spoon and a roach scurried into the depths of the drawer... I didn't try and find it. But besides that, this apartment is pretty nice!  Our district is pretty big too which will make Pdays really fun. There are 5 companionships in our district.  There are some amazing people here too. I really want to see a baptism while I'm here and I think there are lots of prepared people, we just need to be guides to them. So prayers for that would be very helpful! Here was a cool thought from this week: We were talking to the wife of a Baptist preacher and we were talking...
