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 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:)
