Week 41: Back to Tennessee

This week was a blast! As you could probably tell, my p day is on Monday this week! It's because of a weird incoming transfer but it all works out! This week has been super good, we set another one of the people we are teaching on date. That's 3 people on date now! That's the most I've ever had in one area so it gets me pumped.

We got transfer calls and I'm out of here. It's kind of sad honestly, after serving in the same ward for 7 months you start to feel like part of the ward. I got to bear my testimony on Sunday, and everyone expressed they were grateful for me serving there. It kinda sucks because I made a lot of friends in this ward. But I know I've got to move at some point. Now for the big news!! I'm getting transferred to Dickson Tennessee. I'll be a zone leader there with elder Hamlin, he's from California. And we will be in a trio finishing the training of a new elder named elder Shaw. And I leave for that tomorrow so I'm stoked!

We had a ward party this week called the fall festival, and it was so sick! There was a trunk or treat, and a chili cook off. We had 3 families come that we are teaching and then around 5 of the other people that we are teaching. It was awesome to have so many people come out to it and have a good time! I ate some chili with some Carolina reaper peppers in it and I was pretty disappointed. It just made my lips and throat burn, it didn't even make me cry tho so that was a bummer.

Since today is p day we are gonna go slack line and set up our hammocks at the park. We had Darnell who got baptized this last Saturday which was awesome to! It's starting to cool down here a bit and you can tell winter is coming, so it's been sweater weather which is my favorite time of the year. Love y'all and stay blessed. 

WEEK 40: Big news coming

This week was a blast! We had Elder Bowen of the 70 come and meet with us. We had a MLC meeting first and then he ran our regular zone conference right after that. He spoke in general conference this time. He is a super nice guy and energetic for his age. We talked about how this mission can be doing way better than it has been. We just need to have more faith and work harder.

We also this week had a big family history activity on Saturday that so many people came to! We brought some of the people that we are teaching and they loved it! Also this week we didn't get to shop until Saturday so on Thursday and Friday we were in like survival mode because we didn't have any food in the apartment. So we were just like eating anything and everything, but now we are back on track.

We played some sand volleyball today and it was super sick! It's been forever since I played some good volleyball. I had to buy some new shoes today and I love them. That's about it for this week! We should be getting transfer calls hopefully this Sunday and I'm bound to leave so I'll be really shocked if I stay in Bowling Green for another transfer. Love you guys have a good week:)

WEEK 39: Conference time

This week was pretty fun!, it flew by so fast😆 I managed to stay awake for all of conference this time around. Which was way hard because we went to a Spanish member of the wards house and I had 14 taquitos for lunch. So it was hot and heavy and I was falling asleep. But I stayed awake for all of it.

Really besides that not to much happened this week. We did a lot of service on Monday and Tuesday and we got to do some more alpaca wrangling which was way fun. The lady who owns the place is going to make us all alpaca fur ties! Which I'm way excited for. I ruined my temple tie today ironing it. Apparently your not supposed to iron certain ties so that's cool that I learned that. It's flippen October and it's still like 85 degrees here it's ridiculous.

We had one of the people we are teaching come to conference and he loved it. He wasn't able to make it for all of the conference, just Saturdays portion. But that was still good enough! We got to go to the temple again today and that was awesome! I love the temple so much, the Nashville temple is pretty small but it's really pretty.

Besides that not much else has happened, we are just on that constant grind, trying to find the people who are open to the message of the restored gospel. I know this church is God's true restored church on the earth, and I know the book of Mormon is true. Hope you all have a good week!
