Week 67

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 together in June, so it was good to talk to someone who is feeling similar things that I am. It's gonna come fast! It was a good exchange and I felt really refreshed afterwards. 
The ward had an activity that was really fun too, it was family feud and it got heated😂 I was enjoying myself haha this ward is such a blast. They are all about having fun and building unity with everyone in the ward. Everyone is focused on getting to know ward members that they don't know, and it makes everything so fun!! 
We also had zone conference!! It was all focused on faith and how when we seek and expect miracles, God is more likely to give them to us. It was really cool and it's amazing once you understand that even though faith is not a tangible thing, it CAN and WILL change things. It has power and is honestly not taught enough. Look at the last sentence in Alma 31:38 and tell me otherwise. It's pretty crazy once you realize the physical power that faith actually has. But anyways, zone conference was amazing and only one more to go! 🥲
On Sunday I got to play the cello!! Sister Chan played the violin and elder Burnett played the piano. We played a pretty arrangement of " Consider the Lillies". It was so much fun! I forgot how much I love playing! My fingers are so tender tho because I don't have the playing calluses like I used to, so the strings dug into my fingers and it hurts pretty bad haha. But worth it!! I made 3 old ladies and one grown man cry😎 they came up and told me afterwards haha. 
But yeah! My week was really good! I am starting to struggle a little more with fatigue, but I'm doing my best to fight it off before it gets too bad, cuz fatigue sucks the joy out of everything😵 so wish me luck, and prayers for energy would be much appreciated 🙏
I love yall tons!!

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:)
