Week 35

Wow what a week! It went by sooo fast which I guess is a good thing! The days were long but the week flew by. 
So this week has been a week of people dropping us. Most of our progressing people we had to stop teaching because they basically told us they aren't interested or they aren't willing to change. It's really hard because now we are in a teaching drought and each day is a completely empty day that we try to fill meaningfully. So prayers to help us find new people to teach would be greatly appreciated! 

The elders had a baptism and I got to go to to that which was really refreshing and re-motivated me. Not teaching any lessons in a day can get really discouraging and it's hard not to compare yourself to other missionaries or other areas. But for now I pray, work hard, and expect miracles! 

On Tuesday I had dinner with Katherine Hunter!! (Hobbes now haha). She lived in Caldwell with us in the same ward and close to our house! She said she remembers babysitting me too haha! So that was super fun to have a little piece of idahome:) her dog is soooo funny and she was scared of me because I blew in her face, so she wouldn't come near me😂 

I went on exchanged on Wednesday and I got to spend the day in Georgia! So now I can say I've been to Georgia haha. I went with Sister Wiser, and she is awesome!! I really hope I get to be her companion eventually 🙏 we went to this ladys house and she had this tiny shih tzu who's tounge was always hanging out and I loved the dang thing😂 she just wanted me to scratch her the whole time, so I happily did! The lady also showed me a shirt that she just got that says "I shih tzu not" lol. 
One more animal story, we pulled up at the trailer park and when I opened my door, this little cat jumped right in at my feet and wouldnt get out. Sister Kirkman picked it up (cuz I don't like cats) then when I got out of the car, I went to close the door and the cat jumped up into my seat and laid down haha it wouldn't move. Thank goodness I have a comp that doesn't mind touching cats and killing bugs (we still have a lot of bugs in our apartment 😬)
As for my comp and I, we are still loving being together! She is awesome and we have a lot of fun:) 
That was my week this week! Nothing too crazy, but hopefully this week crazy things happen cuz we need miracles in Hixson! I love you all and thank you for all the prayers and support!❤️
this Random lady saw we were the missionaries and purchased our bath and body works stuff!

Week 69

This week had a lot of highs, and the lowest of lows. So we will start with the highs! We had a mission wide devotional with Neil L Anderson in Knoxville! This is the 3rd and final time on my mission that we have gathered as an entire mission in one Chapel!! There is something really special about being the all the missionaries in the whole mission. But obviously the best part was meeting one of the 12 apostles, getting to shake his hand, and then getting spiritually fed by him for a few hours. I recivied so much revelation (almost to the point where it is overwhelming), so I'm just looking back at little segments of my notes at a time, or else I will not know where to start, so I won't start 😂 so I'm doing one thing at a time. I wish I could summarize all the thought I had into one paragraph, but that would be impossible. But boy was it cool! Before the devotional while we were in Knoxville we went and visited claire!!! She is that cute little Filipino that I taught and b...

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 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 ...
