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 😂 I said "almost, haha, we are missionaries!" That was my 3rd time being asked if I was a nun haha. It was fun to walk around at a big park with hundred of southern folks, live music, cool weather, shops and food trucks! 
It's officially fall time! So in my last email I said how the fall colors aren't as vibrant as I thought they would be... I was just jumping the gun!! They are getting vibrant now! And next week it's supposed to be even better! The weather feels so good and I actually enjoy being outside for the first time in Tennessee. We spent a lot of time at Chester Frost park getting some work done instead of doing it in the apartment. It's also getting dark really early which I love because I get to see the stars again!!! I haven't seen clear stars since February, so this makes me way happy:) 
We also had dinner with Katherine Hobbs again!!😁😁 I love her and her family so much and I feel right at home with her! Hazel is so cute (her daughter) she learned my name and now calls me "sister Hilton" instead of "sister missionary" 😂 I've upgraded💪 
But anyways, this week was not too eventful, I've just been trying to motivate myself mentally to keep giving it my ALL. in all honesty, I'm missing home quite a bit this time of year, and it's difficult to lose yourself in the work when you miss home. But we'll get through it and I know this time is going to fly so I need to focus on the moment! I love being a missionary and even on the bad days I'm thankful to be here:)

Week 58

WOW THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME!! I love my new companion, and I love my new area, I love my new ward, I love my new (super fancy) apartment, I love EVERYTHING!!! I had so many highlights this week, so I'll just start listing them out in no specific order. I got to go to the Temple!!!!!!! 😆🤑🥳 Yall it's bee  SO long and it was the best feeling walking into the teeny tiny Nashville temple. It was the best feeling of "coming home". I BEG yall to not take the temple for granted. I will be spending all my free time there whenever I can. We went with a sweet lady named Shannon Adam's who was baptized recently with her kids. It was her first time going to the temple and we got to all do baptisms. She was so nervous and when we pulled up into the parking lot she showed me her shaking hands and said "I am so excited, but so nervous!" It was the sweetest thing ever. She enjoyed every second of it! I have only known her for a few days, but I already feel s...

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...
