Heyyyyyy Here's some miracles we saw in Weaverville this week  We set a goal this week to pray for media referrals in every comp prayer. Today we were out knocking this trailer park and we were about to leave, but then we decided to knock just one last trailer. We talked to her a bit and got a return appointment, when we were making her dot, areabook told us that there was already another lady with the same name. We just looked it up and she was a media referral that we received a couple weeks ago but couldn't get in contact with her because there wasn't an address. We had been praying really hard all day for media referrals, but we got led to an older one instead, super sweet. We decided to visit Lisa who has been taught in the past. When we knocked on the door she said who is it. We said it's the missionaries. She opened the door immediately and started sobbing. The first thing she said was "how did you know to come here?" She invited us in and continued to ...

Happy Happy Monday  This week went by pretty quick, it was kind of a rough week, but also lots of good stuff happened.  So in our area right now, we have been trying to find new people to teach ever since I've got to this area. Finding is exhausting haha, we've knocked so many doors. Some people are rude, most are nice but not interested, and few are interested. This past week most of our friends haven't been keeping the commitments that we give to them, or they told us they aren't interested anymore. So we went from about 25 friends to about 3 in one week. So thats been a big struggle this week and I don't think I'm emotionally prepared and motivated to go out and find all week again..  It will be good though, I know God has just got this perfect plan that's about to play out and we are gonna be apart of it.  Last week on Tuesday and Wednesday, I was really sick. My stomach was not vibing...  On Thursday we had zone conference in Greenville TN and that was...

Happy happy Monday  This week went by super super quick, it was a good week! Here's some miracles we saw  we got 2 separate media referrals from this super cool couple! we were only able to meet with Troy today and WOW we are speechless. he requested a Book of Mormon and when we gave it to him he said that he's already read the whole thing and has prayed about it. he's been taught by missionaries in Nashville and knows it's true. he even said that our church is the true church! he said he'll come to church with us and we even soft committed him to baptism!! We just had the coolest miracle. So we called an old referral a couple of weeks ago and we set a day to come back today. We went and taught her and we introduced the book of Mormon to her. When we did she got so exited, she was like... "WOW, for me? HALLELUJAH!" She even looked up to Heaven and said "Thank you God" it was the sweetest thing. There really are people out there that will love the...

Hey Y'all, happy Monday and happy Easter week... Yay for Jesus  Hope you enjoyed general conference if you watched it, and I hope you received all the revelation that you need. My week was super quick and super good. We went on exchanges this week and I went with Sister Hurley and we spent the day in the boonies...  Sometimes I like being out there, but on exchanges it wasn't my favorite. Woulda been nice to knock more doors, but each house was 3 miles apart.  Sooo this week was the end of March and every month we are given a certain number of miles that we can use, and they restart at the start of the month. Well this week we ran out of miles on Wednesday. So that meant that Thursday and Friday, we were on feet. Lol that was rough. Though blisters, sore feet and legs we got through it. I think in total we walked almost 11 miles, it felt like we walked 74 though. It was super fun, I kind of liked it and it was a good comp bonding moment. We also saw mi...
