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 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 ...
