Week 41

Hello everyone! another week down! Here are some cool things that happened this week: We went to go visit a lady named Kylene and she was really confused who we were, but after a while, it all of a sudden clicked and she just lit up saying how excited she was to come to church again! Apparently her grandma who passed away like 20 years ago was a member of the church and she used to go with her all the time! So everyone please pray for Kylene that she can feel welcomed and have a desire to learn and be baptized. She was so awesome and she has so much potential! So THANK YOU to all y'all who prayed for finding miracles, cuz it is working!!!  On Saturday we went to a fall festival in soddy daisy and there was this really nice guy working at a booth who bought us a funnel cake! He was so cool! Walking around all the markets and booths/tents, we got a lot of weird looks and we even had one guy call us nuns πŸ˜‚ I said "almost, haha, we are missionaries!" That was my 3rd time be...

Week 40

Not a lot happened this week, but it was supposed to be transfers, except for that I'm staying!! Side note, Sister Garbett's new companion (named sister Phillips) is SO awesome!! We actually have a lot in common and we have mutual friends from BYU and high school! Our little sisters are also so similar which is crazy, we both pulled up a picture and their outfits were almost the same hahaha.  But anyways, here are some cool things that I learned this week: --> Always always always follow promptings (if it's a good prompting, cuz if it's good, it's from God). Promptings are gateways for God to work miracles in our lives, but we have to act first. I'm still working on that, but I've seen it give me so much more confidence in the work I'm doing cuz I know that I'm not doing it alone:) --> Make friends and don't be afraid to share the gospel. When friendship comes first, sharing the gospel is a lot easier. That's one downfall with missionar...

Week 39

Alrighty. A lot of stuff happened this week, so I'll list out a few, and then talk more about them: Transfer calls, general conference, yard sales, spent lots of time with the Hobbs, lunch with Johnson's, visit with Basil Marceaux, and a bunch of little strange southern things that happened, but I'll write about the big stuff! Ok so transfers! I'm staying in Hixson with Sister Kirkman!! YALL this is the 1ST time I've kept a companion for more than one transfer!! It should be fun! I was expecting to stay in Hixson, so I was prepared for that, but I was convinced that I was getting a new comp because this will be sister kirkman's 3rd transfer in Hixson! AANNDDD sister garbett is staying in Hixson tooπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ I would have cried if she left. But we will still be in the same ward and district!! So at the end of this transfer, sister garbett and I will have served 7.5 months of our mission together. All I have to say is God is good:)  General conference!! WO...
