Week 73

Wow this was a fast week... It's getting real yall. It was a really good week tho!
Zone Conference! My very last zone conferencešŸ˜¢ I gave my departing testimony and it was weird to be on that side of it because my whole mission I've been watching other missionaries give their departing testimonies and now all of a sudden it was me! But it was a really spiritual experience and I loved it.
The rest of this week was super duper good! Lots of small miracles that lifted my spirits. We are finding quite a few new people to teach and I'm actually really excited about them! There was this one guy we talked to on his porch in passing, and we invited him to church, but then the phone number he gave us didn't work. BUT he showed up to church 6 days later!! I gave a talk in sacrament and after the meeting he asked if he could have a book of mormon šŸ˜± his name is James and he is so cool!!
We also prayed really hard on Friday that we could plant a lot of seeds, and that day we were able to give out 6 book of Mormons!! We taught a mini restoration lesson with each one and every person that we gave it to said we could come back to teach more. Crazy!!!! And it was all because we prayed specifically to plant a lot of seeds that day. God definitely provided! 
Another miracle from this week: the TIWI in our car broke, so we got to drive all the way to north Carolina with no tiwi hehehehehhehehe it was oh so very nice:) The drive was BEAUTIFUL! I took some pictures and the mountains/hills looked fake.
We also had another lesson with our friend HB and he gave me one of his original CD's!!! It was so cool!! He is a good musician and he always shows us a new song when we go over.
I just love being a missionary! This was a really good week and it made me look back at all my experiences with much more of a thankful heart. I feel like everything has been put into perspective with where my priorities should be for the rest of my life. Everything points to God, and it we don't call upon him I'm everything we do, we lose a ton of power and blessings that he was eagerly waiting to give us. I just love learning more about God's character, because he really is a loving father. 
I'm grateful for so many things, especially my family, and the family of people I've met in Tennessee. I'm gonna live up this week, cuz it'll probably go faster than the last one!!

Week 40

Not a lot happened this week, but it was supposed to be transfers, except for that I'm staying!! Side note, Sister Garbett's new companion (named sister Phillips) is SO awesome!! We actually have a lot in common and we have mutual friends from BYU and high school! Our little sisters are also so similar which is crazy, we both pulled up a picture and their outfits were almost the same hahaha.  But anyways, here are some cool things that I learned this week: --> Always always always follow promptings (if it's a good prompting, cuz if it's good, it's from God). Promptings are gateways for God to work miracles in our lives, but we have to act first. I'm still working on that, but I've seen it give me so much more confidence in the work I'm doing cuz I know that I'm not doing it alone:) --> Make friends and don't be afraid to share the gospel. When friendship comes first, sharing the gospel is a lot easier. That's one downfall with missionar...

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 i...

Week 74

Alrighty, here I am again. This was MIRACLE filled week. It had its ups and downs, but I'm going to focus on the ups! So first of all, the big miracle is James!!! This has got to be the most prepared person I have ever met on my entire mission! Not an exaggeration! I can't remember exactly what I've said about him in the past, so here's a little summary. We were walking around a neighborhood last Sunday after church and we decided to knock his door. He was really nice, so we came back on Tuesday to do a Bible study. Then we lost contact with him for the rest of the week. BUT he showed up to church on Sunday!!! We were so shocked!! Then he came to church AGAIN and he had read all the way up to Jacob, and he knew everything about the saints leaving to Utah, their history, everything about Joseph Smith and Emma Smith, and a bunch of other random facts! He said he knew Joseph Smith was called of God and he never wanted to stop coming to our church because he said it feels ...
