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 73

Wow this was a fast week... It's getting real yall. It was a really good week tho! Zone Conference! My very last zone conference😢 I gave my departing testimony and it was weird to be on that side of it because my whole mission I've been watching other missionaries give their departing testimonies and now all of a sudden it was me! But it was a really spiritual experience and I loved it. The rest of this week was super duper good! Lots of small miracles that lifted my spirits. We are finding quite a few new people to teach and I'm actually really excited about them! There was this one guy we talked to on his porch in passing, and we invited him to church, but then the phone number he gave us didn't work. BUT he showed up to church 6 days later!! I gave a talk in sacrament and after the meeting he asked if he could have a book of mormon 😱 his name is James and he is so cool!! We also prayed really hard on Friday that we could plant a lot of seeds...

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 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...
