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 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...

Week 59

Week 59 Hey yall! I had a pretty good week, but it was definitely one of those weeks where you thought it was never gonna end. I was really tired and never really fully woke up through the day, so that was tough. Buuuut we survived! This week I got to experience the deep southern part of our area. It's a town called Gainesboro and boy.... this was a small town. We visited a member who lives in a house built in the 1800s and he just hooked one singular water pipe to it last week. He's gone this long without plumbing or water. We also have to drive across (literally) a creek to get to his house, so we had to go on a dry day or else you would literally have to drive thru a river haha! I was surrounded with a bunch of people with the thickest accents I've ever heard and I loved it! Oh.... I got told not once, but TWICE that I have picked up some accent... That's the 3rd time in the last 3 months or so I've been told that. Sister walker (a missionary who went home last...

Week 61

This week was PACKED. We had MLC and Zone Conference. And on Tuesday we had 0 miles, so we walked everywhere (which wouldn't normally be much of a problem, but there are so sidewalks or shoulders between the road and the ditch, so you just hope that people see you and scoot over or else you will get hit) so that was a little rough. I realized how grateful I am for a car haha! So a little update on our friends we are teaching : Samantha. Oh man, I don't even know where to start! So we had a lesson with her about the Word of Wisdom, and the very next day she said no to sweet tea, and she came up with a plan for this class she goes to that serves everyone coffee so that she can have something else to drink instead! And she read 1Nephi 1 all the way to 2 Nephi 10 in Less than 24 hours!!!!! I was BLOWN away by her!! She said that no other church has made her feel this way and she feels like she has a family. It was the most tender thing ever. We got to have some time to walk around ...
