Week 25

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 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 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 45

Wow it got cold this week. I forgot how brutal cold humidity is and it only got down to 50😂  First off, we had transfer calls!! I will be staying in Hixson (for the 3rd time!) and I'm an STL now too!! I'm so excited about everything! My new companion is named Sister Booth and this will be her last transfer. I haven't met her yet, but I will on Wednesday when we have transfers. I'm so excited!!! I'm excited to go on exchanges with other sisters every week!  Sad news.... I won't be with sister garbett anymore...😭😔🥺😥😫😓 This will be the first time since April that I won't be serving with her.... I don't even remember what it's like to be a missionary without her, but it sure sounds a lot less exciting, so I really hope I can quickly bond with the new missionaries. Of our entire district, only elder bluemel and I are staying. And out of the 4 sisters missionaries in the Hixson ward, I'm the only one staying😭. We are getting elders to replace s...
