Week 42

Another week done✅
Here's a little summary of the week:
I don't know if I've talked about Wilow very much, but she is a super sweet girl who we have been teaching for my whole time here with no progress (at least that we saw outwardly). She has been taught since 2018 and her brother got baptized, but every time we brought up baptism with her it usually got awkward or you could tell she was uninterested. So we decided to just watch a conference talk with their family and her instead of trying to teach a lesson. We watched "I love to see the temple" by Henry B Eyring and afterwards we were talking about the temple and randomly Wilow blurts, "I've been thinking a lot about baptism. Can I be baptized now?" Bruh my eyes went so wide cuz it caught me off guard. I was STUNNED. Y'all don't understand how much I love this girl even tho she has been slow to progress. It made my heart so happy and I am excited for this baptism!! 

We also had a really good lesson with our friend named Brian. Pray for him that he can feel organized enough to "add church" into his life. That's kinda the barrier he's running into and it's hard to just promise him blessings because it requires a lot of faith in his part. But he is awesome! He has a lot of potential and he has been on date for baptism before! 

We did a lot of yardwork this week and it was AWESOME. It felt really good to be outside. The weather is so nice this time of year and yardwork literally makes me so happy (which has never happened before haha, don't expect it to stick mom). 

This week I've just been focusing on living in the moment. I've tried to enjoy every little thing even when things aren't going my way. It's makes the hard things easier cuz I am always finding something out of the experience that is good. It's a lot easier said than done, but my time here is too short to not enjoy it!!

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:)
