Week 28

This week was a wild one! We had transfers, 2 baptisms on sunday, and we went to a non denominational rock band church. 
My new companion is Sister Goodman and she is AWESOME!! She has taught me what it really means to work hard!💪 I am thriving with her and I hope we get more than one transfer together!!
Two cute kids named Madelyn and Landon were baptized on Sunday! They have been being taught for a while now and it was such a cute baptism! 
We did a church song with one of our friends named mary, and so we got to go to her non-denominational church service! It was very different! I've never experienced anything quite like it, but it's cool to now understand what other people are talking about when they talk about their rock band churches 🥳 let's just say I had a headache for a few hours afterwards haha.
Other than that, this week was a busy one full of teaching and planning! We are making a lot of progress with SMS and running the social media pages. It's a lot of work, but I'm learning a lot and it's awesome to see the work go forward within the mission and our own areas. I've learned the importance of talking to everyone, because you never know how the Lord is going to put someone in our path. It may be someone coming up and talking to us, and maybe someone sitting on a bench, or it may be a random phone call that we feel we need to make. I'm trying to learn how to better follow the spirit because I know lots of miracles will happen from that. The hardest part is recognizing that it is the spirit talking to me. I've struggled with knowing whether thoughts are my own or from the spirit, but I slowly been able to tell the difference as I study more and act on any good thought that I have. It's harder that it sounds, but I can feel myself making progress!
I will admit, I was really bad about taking pictures this week because we were so busy, but I'll be better next week! Thank you so much for all the love and support! Love y'all!🤠

Week 58

WOW THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME!! I love my new companion, and I love my new area, I love my new ward, I love my new (super fancy) apartment, I love EVERYTHING!!! I had so many highlights this week, so I'll just start listing them out in no specific order. I got to go to the Temple!!!!!!! 😆🤑🥳 Yall it's bee  SO long and it was the best feeling walking into the teeny tiny Nashville temple. It was the best feeling of "coming home". I BEG yall to not take the temple for granted. I will be spending all my free time there whenever I can. We went with a sweet lady named Shannon Adam's who was baptized recently with her kids. It was her first time going to the temple and we got to all do baptisms. She was so nervous and when we pulled up into the parking lot she showed me her shaking hands and said "I am so excited, but so nervous!" It was the sweetest thing ever. She enjoyed every second of it! I have only known her for a few days, but I already feel s...

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...
