Week 37

Week 37
This week FLEW! I can't believe it's already Monday!! Here are some highlights from this week:
Zone conference! Fun as always, and good to see everyone! Being around other missionaries always hypes me up. I also got to see Elder and Sister Williams again😁❤️ 
We have a mission wide devotional on Sunday!!! This is the first time ever that the ENTIRE mission has all gathered at one place and at same time!!! And this will probably be the last time it happens too! So I got to go back to Farragut/Pellissippi!! Aaaaaaand I got to see Elder Williams AGAIN!! Ah it makes me so happy!! It was way cool to be in a room with the entire mission. The spirit was so strong, I LOVE THE TKM 💪🔥
There was about 170 missionaries there and at the end of the meeting we all sang the mission song (it's also the efy medley, it's As Sister's In Zion and We'll Bring The World His Truth) and WOW it was booming and at the end of the song everyone was in tears including president. I feel so lucky to have been able to experience this, cuz there is NOTHING that has come close to the feeling that was in that room as 170 set apart missionaries all stood to sing. It almost felt like Christ was just going to walk in and take a seat next to President Graham and smile at all of us. Man, it was incredible 
Something else that happened was we put our friend Krista on date to be baptized and she is SO excited for baptism and won't stop talking about it haha it is so cute. She said she can't wait to be a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints:) buuuut sadly we got a text on Sunday and she said that she moved like 10 minutes down the road, but since she originally lived right by the border of our area, she is no longer in our area 😭 that made us mega sad and we are really worried that this will effect her baptism... But it will all work out! Keep Krista in your prayers! 

We called this random lady who had contact with missionaries in the past a long time ago and she talked to us on the phone for 56 minutes😂😂 I love southerners.. Mind you, we didn't talk at all.. she did all the talking, we may be said 2 sentences the whole time. Sister kirkman and I took turns listening and saying "oh", "mmhmm", "that's crazy", "wow", "yeah" and so on so forth while the other person ate some food😂 then we'd switch😂 we invited her to church and she said she'd bring her friend with her, but then she didn't come 😑 but I still love her! 

Eye update from last week: my eye is still red but it's much better! No pain, no headache, and my vision is normal! So that's good!!
I love you all so much!!! Thank you for everything and all the prayers 🤗 JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

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:)
