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 41

Hello everyone! another week down! Here are some cool things that happened this week: We went to go visit a lady named Kylene and she was really confused who we were, but after a while, it all of a sudden clicked and she just lit up saying how excited she was to come to church again! Apparently her grandma who passed away like 20 years ago was a member of the church and she used to go with her all the time! So everyone please pray for Kylene that she can feel welcomed and have a desire to learn and be baptized. She was so awesome and she has so much potential! So THANK YOU to all y'all who prayed for finding miracles, cuz it is working!!!  On Saturday we went to a fall festival in soddy daisy and there was this really nice guy working at a booth who bought us a funnel cake! He was so cool! Walking around all the markets and booths/tents, we got a lot of weird looks and we even had one guy call us nuns 😂 I said "almost, haha, we are missionaries!" That was my 3rd time be...

Week 64

Well sister Oldroyd is shipped off to Chattanooga 😥 BUT I love my new companion, sister Chan! I'm glad I get to serve with her and we are having so much fun! This week it was really a struggle to get return appointments with the people we are teaching and holy moly, it is a never ending battle and it makes me want to lose my mind sometimes. I love these people so so much, but I get really tired if spending time trying to chase them down to have a lesson😂I just want to consistently teach someone, BUT it's not about what I want, it's about how God wants to use me as his hands. And I guess right now he is needing me to do a LOT of seed planting. After a long week of seed planting, I am eager to pick fruit, but unfortunately it takes a lot of time. The beginning of the week consisted of going around and saying goodbye to people since sister Oldroyd is leaving. So we took a lot of pics with members and friends. I'm glad I'm not the one leaving because I am getting kind...

Week 34

Transfers!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 My new companion is Sister Kirkman and SHE. IS. AWESOME.🔥 This is her 2nd transfer, so I am 2nd half training her, but shes literally got everything down💪 I am in Hixson Tennessee near Chattanooga which is fun. We've have a random heat wave blow through and that has not been fun. I'm so ready to break out the sweaters! Also, our apartment has a roach problem... I opened up a drawer to get a spoon and a roach scurried into the depths of the drawer... I didn't try and find it. But besides that, this apartment is pretty nice!  Our district is pretty big too which will make Pdays really fun. There are 5 companionships in our district.  There are some amazing people here too. I really want to see a baptism while I'm here and I think there are lots of prepared people, we just need to be guides to them. So prayers for that would be very helpful! Here was a cool thought from this week: We were talking to the wife of a Baptist preacher and we were talking...
