I Love Knoxville TN

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 book of Mormon, we just gotta give it to them!

Easter Miracle!!

we had dinner with a recent convert and her husband this past week. before we met him, his wife has told us how much he hates the church and has always given her a hard time for joining. dinner was good but he was a little standoffish. we still invited him to our Easter service. fast forward to today>>>he came to church with her and sat with us. HE LOVED IT. his heart completely softened and he thanked us because he said that we were the reason he came and that he wants to keep coming!! they both walked out of church beaming

We had MLC this week, so we got to go to Knoxville and that was super good, I love that place with all my heart!

We had exchanges this week and I got to be with Sister Anderson and I just love her! She's super sweet! On the exchange we had just left the apartment and right as we got driving, the car started warning us that we needed an oil change... Turns out we had 1% oil left. So we had to drive to Asheville to go get an oil change and that took up a lot of time. I was kind of sad about that because I'm not driver, so I had no idea about the oil, but we were gonna work lots on finding new people to change that day. Well we didnt get to do that very much, but we still were able to find one new person to teach so that was good! 

We went and knocked a trailer park in the rain TWICE this week. Wasn't my favorite... People aren't very nice, but some are. 

Also check out my sunburn.... 

 I know that Jesus Christ lived and died for me. I've been in situations in my life where he was all I could rely on, and he got me through it. I know he knows exactly how I feel, because he's been the only one that could comfort me in that time of need. I know that Jesus Christ loves me and you, because he suffered, so that we can have joy. Jesus Christ is joy, Jesus Christ is love, Jesus Christ is comfort, and Jesus Christ is my friend. I know because I've experienced his love.

Love y'all 

Peace
