week 54

Fred got baptized!! The elders have been teaching him and he is the most amazing person ever. He is so sweet and so friendly to everyone.
This week we spent a lot of time trying to find new people to teach. We've found quite a few not so nice people 😅 lots of people were pretty hostile, lots of closed doors this week, But my spirits are still high! Sister stevens and I are learning to ebjoy all the other small good things in life since things aren't really going the way we want them to teaching-wise. I'm still having fun tho! 
We had Interviews with President this week and I told him that I don't want to leave Hixson and he chuckled (so basically I'm leaving next transfer)... I love this ward SO MUCH. Speaking of the ward, I went to Katherine Hobbs Baby shower and that was super fun! I felt like I was at a family gathering cuz I knew all of the people that were there. I've also gotten to the point where I can tell who is visiting on sundays because I know the whole ward. Its awesome, but I know it won't last long... 
We had a lesson with Jenny and we found out she is moving at the end of this month😭 I was crushed, but I know the missionaries there will treat her well.
We have zone conference tomorrow and I am SO nervous because they are doing roleplays in from of the whole zone. So pray that I won't get called on....
But I don't have much else to say for this week! I'm looking forward to this next week!

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...
