Week 63

Heyall!! Not to disappoint or anything, but this week wasn't quite as crazy as last week, but it was still great!
We got transfer news on Saturday, and I will be staying in Cookeville!!! I'll be getting a new companion tho which is really sad, but I've heard really good things about her! Her name is Sister Chan and she is from Provo Utah. She was on the SMS team for a long time like I was!! So that'll be something we can bond with and reminisce about haha. I miss those days! I'm excited to meet her on Wednesday🥳
Oh random thing, a member gave us Goose eggs, and that was cool. One egg made a giant breakfast burrito haha!
I also got to call home on Wednesday and on Thursday! Wednesday was zachs birthday and Thursday was mckays birthday! Those were the most fun video calls ever because everyone was on, and that is really rare that I get to talk to all my family all at once! I love my family haha, they are crazy🤪
I'm also sending some old pictures from when sister Oldroyd and I slept on the balcony hahahahaha it was so much fun! We wanted to do it again but it has been soooo cold. It feels like winter in Utah haha! There was frost on our car this morning which is not ok😂
OK I was getting creative with ways to find new people to teach, so I looked around for music stores and found one! We went in so I could play all the different instruments (as an excuse to talk to the workers) and we ended up talking with an employee (an old guy named George) for over 30 minutes. It was pretty cool! So there's a creative way to get to know more people!
Sister Oldroyd and I went on a hike to Burgess Falls today and it was SO pretty!! It felt so good to go for a hike and be outdoors. It's been well over a year since I've gotten to enjoy the outdoors. We went and got smoothies before hand too!! 
It was a pretty good week and I'm excited for everything that's gonna happen this coming week! God is good and his hand is literally in every moment of the day. Life is so much better when you focus on those moments too! God is in everything, we juts have to take the time to look back and see him!

Week 69

This week had a lot of highs, and the lowest of lows. So we will start with the highs! We had a mission wide devotional with Neil L Anderson in Knoxville! This is the 3rd and final time on my mission that we have gathered as an entire mission in one Chapel!! There is something really special about being the all the missionaries in the whole mission. But obviously the best part was meeting one of the 12 apostles, getting to shake his hand, and then getting spiritually fed by him for a few hours. I recivied so much revelation (almost to the point where it is overwhelming), so I'm just looking back at little segments of my notes at a time, or else I will not know where to start, so I won't start 😂 so I'm doing one thing at a time. I wish I could summarize all the thought I had into one paragraph, but that would be impossible. But boy was it cool! Before the devotional while we were in Knoxville we went and visited claire!!! She is that cute little Filipino that I taught and b...

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 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 ...
