Week 32

Lots of random stuff happened this week, one of them being, I am in a trio now!! It's temporary and it's only for 2 weeks, but I realized how much I missed being in a trio! There was a sister who went home, so her companion is with us now! And we are also working her area as well, so now we are over 3 areas and SMS😅 and the new area is 30 minutes away. So it has been really interesting to see this all work out, but it's fun! We will work like half the day in Farragut and Pellissippi, then we'll make the drive to Loudon and work there for a few hours before coming home. It's pretty fun! The new Sister is names Sister Jones and boy did I need her. She has lifted my spirit so much! Also, I have very good news!! THE WEATHER IS COOLING DOWN!!!! I can not express how happy this makes me🥳 
As for the people we have been teaching, Stephanie and guang are AWESOME as always. They are making steady progress towards having a relationship with God. 
The 2 awesome twins we were teaching moved to Michigan 😭 but they came to institute on Thursday, so I had an excuse to go to institute again!!!! I haven't gone to institute since I was in the YSA, so I was sooo excited. When we pulled in the parking lot, I SAW CHRIS!! So I jumped out of the car to go say hi. I missed that guy. For those who don't remember, Chris was the guy we baptized my 2nd Transfer. I was in heaven being with all the YSA again, I miss them so much. Chris came up to me and was so proud to show me that he still had the Bearden missionaries's phone number saved as "Rozlyn".😂😂 I told him to never change it haha. It was so much fun seeing everyone, but then on the drive home I got really sad and had this empty feeling cuz I wanted to be back in Bearden so bad. But it's all good cuz there are awesome people in Farragut and Pellissippi too! 
Sunday we had a TON of meetings, so we were at the church for 6 hours. And it was ward conference. 
Something that I am working on this week is learning to recognize the spirit. This has been my goal for a while, but I have been struggling with learning to trust the spirit more than my own judgment. The gift of the holy ghost that we get at baptism is so amazing. I've seen this gift more fully on my mission, and I realize how much more we all should be relying on it. There's a quote from Boyd k Packer that says "No member of this Church—and that means each of you—will ever make a serious mistake without first being warned by the promptings of the Holy Ghost". I thought that was pretty cool:) 
I hope everyone is doing well!

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:)
