week 30

Week 30!
This week was very slow, but in a good way. On monday, we got to travel to North Carolina with the SMS team to do some filming in the Asheville zone. It was about a two and a half hour drive, and it was so much fun!! The SMS team is awesome and I love working closely with the senior couples. The drive there was super pretty, and when we got there we set up everything in a church building and started filming! It was a little stressful but it went pretty smoothly. After we got all the footage we needed we went to a super cute Taco shop and didn't finish eating till about 9: 30. The drive home I attempted to sleep but it was hard to do in the back seat of a Transit van haha we didn't end up going to bed until a little past midnight which is pretty tragic as a missionary because you'll never get that sleep back haha. I think that's part of the reason why this week has been a little slow is because I'm very tired.
Some miracles that happen this week, we had a super awesome lesson with our friends Stephanie and Guang. We taught them the plan of salvation and Stephanie absolutely loved it! She said it gave her a lot of Hope and she would love for her family to be together for eternity. It was really amazing talking with her about it because it was all new to her. They moved here from China a few years ago, and so the idea of God and Christ is completely new them. They have so much potential and I can see the happiness that they are gaining as they learn more about the gospel. It is transforming their family! 
We also have been talking with Michael about getting the priesthood since he was baptized last week! There's a temple trip coming up and he has made it a goal to go with the word to the temple. There's also means that my companion and I will get to go as well! I'm so excited and I am hoping that he can make this next step that way he can go to the temple. Keep Michael in your prayers that he can have strength as he receives the priesthood and talks to his family about the gospel. 
But that's my week! It's been really cool to see how the gospel can transform people. I would invite everyone to think of what their life would be like without the gospel. If it is a very different life, that's amazing. If your life wouldn't be much different, maybe reassess how much you are centering Christ in your life. I don't say this to chastise anyone, I just want everyone to experience the blessings of involving Christ in their life. It will change everything!!

Week 74

Alrighty, here I am again. This was MIRACLE filled week. It had its ups and downs, but I'm going to focus on the ups! So first of all, the big miracle is James!!! This has got to be the most prepared person I have ever met on my entire mission! Not an exaggeration! I can't remember exactly what I've said about him in the past, so here's a little summary. We were walking around a neighborhood last Sunday after church and we decided to knock his door. He was really nice, so we came back on Tuesday to do a Bible study. Then we lost contact with him for the rest of the week. BUT he showed up to church on Sunday!!! We were so shocked!! Then he came to church AGAIN and he had read all the way up to Jacob, and he knew everything about the saints leaving to Utah, their history, everything about Joseph Smith and Emma Smith, and a bunch of other random facts! He said he knew Joseph Smith was called of God and he never wanted to stop coming to our church because he said it feels ...

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 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 w...
