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...

This was a good good week! We spent a lot of time in Gainsboro which was fun! We don't get to go up there very often but I love it when we do! I didn't know if I've explained a little bit of Gainesboro, but it is a teeny tiny town about 40 minutes out of Cookeville and it's quite literally in the middle of nowhere. Everyone there is related or married. We talked to this one guy that said in high school it was really hard to meet girls because they were all cousins😂 so he jokes that he married his wife cuz it was the only girl in town that he wasn't related to 😂😂 Gainesboro has a population under 1000 and the people who live there were usually raised there. It's like one of those towns that you see in movies haha its so awesome. Sister Henry drove us up there in her old jeep and she gave us bandanas to tie our hair down😂 we went around visiting a bunch of people and there was this one lady who hasn't had contact with the church in 8 years that we stopped ...

This  week  was another blur... I hope the  weeks  slow down because they are going by so scarily fast!! I went on 2 exchanges this  week , so that is probably part of the reason. I spent Tuesday in Lebanon with Sister Stroud (who's parents own property in Mapleton and are going to eventually build and move there!!). It was really fun and it is always refreshing to go out and spend a day in someone else's neighborhood. It is a Spanish area, so during all the lessons I just sat there smiling cuz I don't speak Spanish 😂 there was one lady that we taught who only spoke Spanish, so sister stroud taught her while I played with their little shih tzu that looked a lot like gizmo 😍 it was amazing hehe I just got to let him for like 20 minutes😂 I also went on exchanges with Sister Morrell and it was an overnight exchange, so I got to spend the day and night in Knoxville!! Knoxville has a special place in my heart, it was good to be back. Sister Morrell and I go home t...

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...
