Week 44

Heyyo! We have 3 people on date to be baptized! I have had a baptism in over a transfer, so this is pretty exciting! Here's a little run down of our current friends:

Wilow! She is so awesome and I have grown to love her. Each time we come to visit with her and her family it starts off really quiet, but by the time we leave they are all so talkative and laughing, it's hard to leave!

Katelyn! We have been visiting Katelyn every single Sunday and we have built a really good relationship with her:) she doesn't leave the house much and she said that we are her only friends and she always looks forward to our Sunday visits:) she also said that she wants us to stay in contact after our missions. She has been through a lot in the past few years, and it's cool to just listen to her experiences and stories. I also finally got a selfie with her after 3 months of meeting with her haha. She's the gal with the red hair. I'm gonna miss Katelyn when I leave this area. 
Brian! He has some of the deepest best questions I have gotten on the mission so far. He is a true seeker when it comes to learning about new things. We've been meeting with him occasionally (he's really busy) and he told us that he has been consistently praying to know if the book of Mormon is true and if Joseph Smith was a true prophet, but he said he hasn't gotten an answer yet. So please keep Brian in y'all's prayers that he can receive a confirmation and also have the motivation to come to church. He doesn't really get to sleep during the week, so he sleeps on the weekends which is why he hasn't come to church. I want him to come so bad tho. He has so much potential!

Casie! She wants to be baptized on December 3rd (happy birthday dad!) but the only things keeping her from progressing are transportation and divorce paperwork. So prayers for that would be much appreciated! Her testimony is so strong and her life stories blow me out of the water. She has gone through so much and never blames anyone. She forgives people who have messed up her life, she turns to God when things get too hard to handle and she ALWAYS has a smile on her face. Casie is an angel.
That isn't everyone, but those are some I am most excited about!

Other big events from this week: zone conference and MY BIRTHDAY!
My birthday was on Saturday and it was a good day! We went and did service for Sandra for about 2 hours, then we went and got milkshakes. We went and contacted some people and everyone was home! That usually never happens, so it made me happy. For dinner we went to Katherine Hobbs house and she made the BEST lemon poppyseed cake everrrr! It was so fun to be with them!

Prayer Role:
Brian --> pray that he can have his prayers answered and want to come to church/have the motivation to sacrifice that time. 
Sandra--> Pray that she can recognize the truthfulness of our messages and recognize the familiar "ring" of the gospel. 
Katelyn--> pray that she can come to know that the book of Mormon is true. 
Wilow--> pray that she can hold on to the desire to be baptized and also pray that her dad can make it home on the 19th so we can have the baptism.
Casie--> pray that her divorce paperwork can be figured out quickly and that she can understand our lessons.

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...

Week 28

This week was a wild one! We had transfers, 2 baptisms on sunday, and we went to a non denominational rock band church.  My new companion is Sister Goodman and she is AWESOME!! She has taught me what it really means to work hard!💪 I am thriving with her and I hope we get more than one transfer together!! Two cute kids named Madelyn and Landon were baptized on Sunday! They have been being taught for a while now and it was such a cute baptism!  We did a church song with one of our friends named mary, and so we got to go to her non-denominational church service! It was very different! I've never experienced anything quite like it, but it's cool to now understand what other people are talking about when they talk about their rock band churches 🥳 let's just say I had a headache for a few hours afterwards haha. Other than that, this week was a busy one full of teaching and planning! We are making a lot of progress with SMS and running the social media pages. It's a lot of w...
