Hi yall!  This week was the best!!! I got to go to the Nashville Temple with our friend Amanda! Amanda got baptized a couple of months ago, and we have been working with her teaching family history since I got here! We got to go to the temple with her and it was the best experience ever. She was able to baptize her mom and both her grandma's. It was so awesome. She said the temple was "groovy"  haha I love her so much  ALSO went to Buc-ees for the first time. I'm officially a tennesseean. When I told people in the ward I went to Buc-ees after the temple, they were all more excited that I got to go to Buc-ees. Everyone worships that place. It's giant. It's got like 50 gas pumps and the gas station has shopping carts because it's so big. Me and Sister Merritt took a picture with the beaver dude and someone walked passed us and said "you should teach him the first discussion, he won't say anything mean back to ya"  Our friend Elena has came to u...

Howdy!! This week flew by, it feels like it was just pday haha. This week was so good! We met so many new friends and started teaching most of them too! We met a girl named Tosha. She is crazy and I absolutely love her. She ended up giving me a couple of rings and told me to come back for more next week! She is the best. This week we had a new missionary follow-up so I got to see all the homies I flew in with. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! Getting to Sister Maxwell two weeks in a row is always a good thing. I LOVE YOU BESTIE! Along with that, we had interviews with President Graham this week. He is such an awesome guy. He gave me some council and guidance that I really needed! I am super blessed with all the leadership in my mission, everyone is seriously so awesome! I literally have the worst memory and I cannot remember anything else I did this week WHOOPS plz forgive me.  A scripture verse I really liked this week is in Alma 36:3 3 And now, O my son Helaman, behold, thou art in thy yout...

Hi yall! Not much to write about this week haha. One miracle that happened this week was a baptism that happened at the stake! So, we were supposed to go to the temple with our district on Saturday, but actually did not end up going because our friend got sick :( BUT !! On Saturday when we were planning on what we should do now, Brother Cooley called us from the branch below our area and asked if we were around to unlock the church for the baptism. We ended up filling the font up and Brother Cooley told us that we could invite some of our friends to come to the baptism. We invited our friend Charles to come and he came!! It was so awesome and the spirit was so strong. Come to find out, Brother Cooley was about to do this baptism just in a river by his house but then had a feeling to just have it at our building. He also felt like he should tell us to invite one of our friends to the baptism as well. This was such an answer to prayers because Charles is actually on date for baptism and ...
