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 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 66

Hello everyone!! Happy late Easter! I hope everyone had an amazing Sunday, cuz I sure did!! Holidays on the mission are a little hard (for me at least), but this one was actually pretty good! The church service was amazing and it was PACKED. I felt like I was back in a Utah ward because there were so many people! Here are some reasons it was a great easter: Some friends we are teaching came to church! Donna who is a somewhat lonely older lady came and wore one of sister chan's dresses and she cried during the service and even sang one of the songs, which was huge. Donna is going through a lot right now, but I think she felt a moment of peace when she was at church.  Afterwards we went to the Gildays (a member that I'm close with ) to have lunch and a little scripture study. Isabel was there and that was fun hehe her and I are crazy. I don't know if I've "introduced" Isabel, but she is 19 and was just baptized in January. She moved here and almost i...

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 ...
