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 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...

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 ...

Week 33

Another week of covering 3 areas! It's been an adventure for sure and I'm actually kind of amazed that it is going this smoothly. We basically have 2 of everything because the 3 areas we are covering are in 2 different districts. So 2 DL calls, 2 district councils, 3 coordination meetings, it's crazy.  Here are some things that happened this week: -We got a random text from a lady that said she wanted to be baptized next month! -We had transfer calls and I am moving to Hixson! Its in the Chattanooga zone and I am going to be ward sharing with Sister Garbett!!!!  -we went to an outdoor festival and that was so fun! It was fun to be at a lively event with lots of people.  Other than that, nothing super crazy happened this week. I'm excited for this coming transfer and all it will entail! Thanks for all the love and support from everyone! It means a lot:)
