I Met The Oak Ridge Boys

Okay so appearantly Jerian doesn't think my emails have been too great lately so I'm gonna try my hardest this week to make it sooooo good!

   But this week was actually so amazing!! First off I love my companion! Sister Campbell is the sweetest, she has the best testimony and I'm learning so much from her! The tea is, is that she is originally called to Japan so at anytime she could get transfered to Japan! And I don't want her to go, but I think it would be an awesome experience for her, but I secretly don't want it to happen, but I'm just being selfish! 

   Okay my area is amazingggggggg!! We are teaching lots of people and we have someone on date so that's exciting!! I love the members here! They are so sweet and so caring! I do really miss the members in my last area though which makes me sad, but I love it here! 

   Okay so in my area there is a lake and on this lake it's known for rowing. So there is always rowers there and they all race down this lake and I'm obsessed! I want to be a rower sooooo bad!! Sister Campbell and I are literally planning on coming back the summer I get home and staying at a members house and doing a rowing for beginners camp! I want to do it sooo bad!! 

   Last thrusday we were eating at a restaurant called Calhouns and it's right on the lake so it's kind of bouji!! And a member saw us there and payed for our food... It was soooo sweet, I never thought that would happen here because it's Tennessee not Utah! 

   We got fed 5 out of the 7 days this week which was so so amazing! People cook really good food here! 

   We are still running everymorning and I low-key hate it... I know it's really good for me though so that's great!! I feel amazing after my runs but during them I don't like it!! 

   I gave a talk in sacrament this week about forgiveness and here's some of what I said: Something that I have learned on my mission that I love and charish so much is happiness. Happiness is soooo important to me. And it's kind of funny because when I was in high school I was always just a grumpy teenager, but now I never want to be grumpy again, I always want to be happy! And one way I've seen happiness come easiest, is when I'm trying to be like the Savior. And a big part of doing that is forgiving others. If it doesn't affect your eternal salvation, don't worry about it. Forgiveness is a really good way to stay happy, so let us forgive. 

   And I know that as we forgive others now, we will be forgiven later. And believe me, we all want to be forgiven. But I know that this is a happier way of life.  

   I didn't actually meet the Oak Ridge Boys but I got a picture with a sign with their name so that's cool! 

   Also we went to a museum today it's called k-25 and it's about a bomb being built! And it wasn't my cup of tea! I was sooo bored, but it's fine! 

   I'm so so happy and I'm loving my mission right now!! Thank you for all the prayers and all the emails! I really appreciate them! I love y'all soooooooo bad
