Week 71

It's been 7 days folks. 7 long days. I think this week was long because I'm still not adjusted to the area and I don't know the ward too well. But that will change!! (hopefully soon).
We had some good lessons with the people we are teaching which is always refreshing! We taught an entire Plan of Salvation lesson to our friend Ann and WOW she just soaked in the whole thing. She said that she has had some thoughts throughout her life that line up perfectly with what the plan of salvation teaches, she just didn't know that there was actually doctrine about it! She was beaming and smiling as we taught it and she said she wished she has known this her whole life because she feels so much more hope and motivation with this knew knowledge. It was so cool!! So moral of the story, never take for granted your knowledge of the plan of salvation. If you currently don't find added hope and motivation through the plan, go and study it more until you do. It's amazing, and I am reminded of that every time I get to teach it!
We also found this SUPER cool guy named HB Beverly (you can look him up on YouTube haha he's a musician!) and started teaching him!! He just finished the Bible a few week ago and he has read 20 chapters of the book of mormon, then we knocked on his door! We taught the restoration and he seemed to grasp most of it and it's all new to him! But he loves learning. We went over twice this week and he sang some songs for us on his guitar! It was so sweet and I was in heaven!! He has a good classic country deep voice and I could have listened to him all day long. He also had a little dog named Macy who I give milkbones everytime I come over haha. He is just so cool and I feel like I was buddies with HB in the premortal life. 
Oh we also got to do service on a HUGE strawberry farm!! It was so fun and really dirty cuz we were cutting off a ton of strawberries that were Moldy. But we got to take home some boxes of strawberries which was so good cuz I feel like I rarely get to eat berries (#missionarybudget). That was super fun!
We also did service at a food bank and I got asked if my teeth were real 😂 I took it as a compliment hahaha!
I got to talk to my family on Sunday for mothers day and that was the most fun phone call ever!! It was mostly mom Haley and raimie and wow we are crazy😂 I love laughing with the gals and I'm excited to hang out with them soon! I love my mom and I'm so thankful for her example and her crazy spunky party personality! Happy mothers day to all the mother figures out there!! 
Today we are driving to North Carolina (about a 2 hour drive) to stay in a hotel and then drive 3 more hours tomorrow to south Carolina to go to the temple!!!!! We are going with 2 entire zones, so when we meet up in NC tomorrow, we will all take a big bus together and it's gonna be so much fun!! I'm so excited!! We are heading to NC with the 4 of us today that way we can explore and go to a cool restaurant. It's like a little vacation /sleepover!! I'm SO excited to go to the temple!!!!!

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:)
