Week 62

BUCKLE UP...Alright.... Yall are never gonna believe how powerful your prayers were... Remember when I asked for prayers that we would reach our goal and find 8 people to teach this week? Well, yall prayed very hard because we found TWENTY new people to teach!!!! 2-0!!!! Twenty! I have never seen a number that high my entire mission, and I was BLOWN away!!! I know without a doubt that I couldn't have done it without the prayers you sent my way. It seriously made such a huge difference. So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I am super excited about the new friends we have to teach. We have appointments with most of them this week, so stay tuned for next week!!
So many good things happened with week, and I got to go back to my very first area (crossville♥️) for a day! It was the trippiest most nostalgic thing ever. I saw Dustin Dannel who was our most progressing friend a year ago. It was actually crazy cuz he was at a members house and Sister Hunt didn't know him, so that only reason we figured out it was him was because I recognized him from a year ago!! He didn't recognize me, but that's ok haha I don't look the same at all. But it was crazy!! Being in that apartment reminded me so much of my greenie days, it was so crazy. And just driving around in the town of Crossville took me way way back. I even got a selfie with the same old lady in the same old living room as another selfie that I took with her a year ago! It was fun:)

Our ward also had a hoedown dance and I went HAM. I forgot how much I love line dancing hahaha it was so MUCH fun! It was also great to listen to country music;) I danced so hard and had so much fun. Not many people showed up, so my companion and I kept things alive haha.

Do yall remember the Stewart-walls from Hixson?? WELL, they drove all the way to Cookeville to come see me!!!! They took us out to lunch and it was so good to see them♥️♥️♥️ qelsi and xandy and their mom were the ones who came, and I was beyond happy to see them:) it made my heart so happy that they came all the way here. Qelsi said that she told all her friends that she was going out of town for the weekend to see a family friend🥰 awwwww. I gave her my name tag for her to keep:) (I have another one haha). I love those girls so much.
I also got to play a cello this week!! Shannon adams (a member) has a ton of instruments, so I sat down and started playing with their guitar, then she said "you are the one that plays the cello right??" so she ran downstairs and brought up a SUPER nice cello. It was way out of tune, so I tuned it up played it, tuned it again, played it, then kept tuning it until it stayed. It was honestly so therapeutic playing. I was in heaven!
That was my week! Overall we spent a ton of time walking around parks talking to people, knocking doors, walking around neighborhoods, and I basically army crawled to my bed every night because I was so exhausted by the end of the day. Ive never been this tried in my life, but I definitely earn my pillow at the end of every day. God has been so good and I love the people I have connected with here. Especially Samantha❤️ she has changed my perspective on life and what it means to be a good person. I love Tennessee!!! 🧡🧡🧡

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 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 be...

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...
