Merritt, Shayden

Hey Y'all Hope everything is going well for you, I miss you!     My week was pretty good!! On Monday we were looking for some of our friends and so we knocked on their apartment door, and little do we know that that's not their apartment. But we were told that someone of that household was actually interested in our church, his name is Devon. He is the coolest. We walked around and talked with him for a while. He told us that he got baptized in our church. Then he went on to tell us about how he got in a really bad motorcycle accident, someone hit him from the back going 70 miles an hour. He told us that he was in a coma for 2 months and in the hospital for 2 years. We invited him to come to family history night to do some temple names to take to the temple. I went on exchanges on Wednesday with sister swift and that was super fun! We went to family history that night and Devon was there, but he shortly found out that he had gotten Baptized into a different church, so he is no...

Hmmm this week was hard for me! I had to leave Oak Ridge and say goodbye to everyone there that I love! I didn't like that hahah, it was rough. And I had to say goodbye to Sister Neddo and I didn't like that at all! My new area is Morristown Tennessee and it's a really big area. My companion and I pink washed into the area. For those that don't know what that means, both my companion and I started in a new area where elders used to serve. I know no one here and that's kind of hard to get used too! I have a senior couple in my district and that's kind of fun to have them! We do a sports night on thrusday nights and play volleyball, I love doing that! Today we played pickleball and volleyball and soccer as a district and that was way fun! Kind of busy today, sorry for the short email, love y'all!  Sister Merritt!

It's gonna be a short email today because I have so much stuff to do! I have to pack all my things because I'm being transfered to a new area. My new area is Morristown Tennessee. It's kind of funny that I'm going to Morristown because my brothers mission was the New Jersey Morristown Mission, so that's kind of crazy! I'm super excited though, but really sad to leave Oak Ridge though. Some exciting things happened here this week. To start off Janice and brother Fredrick got married, that was super exciting and super fun! Then......... Janice got baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday. I'm super happy for her, she has been taught for 3 years and finally made the decision to get baptized, super happy I got to be a part of it. There was an awesome miracle this week that happened. We were gonna do service for this member this one day and we had a dinner appointment so we had to hurry. When we got out of our dinner appointment she texted and said she finish...

I'm getting bored of writing weekly emails, so I think when I hit my halfway mark I'm gonna be done with them for the rest of my mission ;) j/k This week actually went by pretty slow! It was good, just nothing insane happened ya know. On Monday we went golfing and that was "reched" apparently golf is not one of my talents. I got blisters and definitely damaged the ground, also made the golf club dirty for the Elders to clean hahah. Then we went to goodwill and talked to this girl and she was sooo cool and she insisted that we get her Facebook. So we did, then a couple days later she texted and wanted to hangout with us... Yay  Crazy things that happened this week is that one of our friends that we thought was super awesome and super prepared for the gospel texted us and told us that he only agreed to talk to us is because he was attracted to the blonde sister (me) I hate that so much, like ughhh that makes me really sad. I had to get my retainer fixed this week, that ...
