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 instantly her and I became best friends. She is now planning on moving out to Utah in July (after I get home🤭) and she's currently applying to BYU! So please send a prayer her way that she can get accepted. I love her lots and we have so much fun together.
We went to this big Easter dinner with like 6 families from the ward and it felt like home! It was super fun. 
Oh another thing! There is this sweet girl named destiny (she's 25) and she made Easter gift baskets for all the missionaries!! She asked us our favorite drink, snack, and she got us a bunch of stuff. She is literally the sweetest. She is very new to the church, she was baptized just in February and she said that she felt bad for the missionaries that have to be away from their families and don't get Easter baskets, so she made us all one! Ahh it was the sweetest. We are treated too good.
There was also a ward Easter dinner on Friday and Samantha (that we are teaching) brought 4 of her non member friends and one of the couples said that they love the way this group of people feels and they want to join the church!! So we are going to go over this week and teach them the doctrine, so please pray that it goes well! There names are Elda and Chris. 
This is totally irrelevant, but I was freaking out for about 10 straight minutes on Thursday.. Subaru finally released..... 2024 WILDERNESS EDITION CROSSTREK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Folks, I've been waiting for so long for then to make these. They've been making wilderness edition outbacks and foresters for a while, and I've been waiting for the day they started doing crosstreks in wilderness, and it had FINALLY CAME! Anyways, hehe that's that. Give it a look:)
Overall, it was a really good week! The time is flying and I can't believe another week is already done.

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:)
