Week 26

This week was amazing! We got 2 more people on date to be baptized and lots of things came together that we were stressing about. We had lots of really good lessons this week too! Most of my days this week looked something like this: wake up, run, shower, plan, study, visit people, call people, teach people, go to meetings, eat, teach some more, then pass out in bed. It's exhausting but I LOVE it!! My companion and I decided to do lunges up a big hill, and the entire next day we couldn't walk without falling over haha it was amazing. We also had a pretty cool experience with our neighbor! We had about 10 minutes left of our dinner hour, and so sister blackard set her head down just for a second to take a quick break, then she said that she had a prompting that we needed to go visit our neighbor named Jeannie. So we ended dinner a little early and walked over and knocked on her door. We ended up having a super good conversation and she said she would love to learn more from us because she needed the peace and happiness in her life. She has been struggling for a long time and was so happy that we reached out! The spirit is so cool! And my comp is the best:) it's crazy that this transfer is almost over already! The time is flown by! I have also officially been on my mission for 6 months! It's been really cool to watch The Gospel change people's lives, cuz there's not really anything else in this world that has that kind of power. Everyone deserves to experience it, cuz it is life changing!!

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:)
