Monday: we spent all day packing Sister White but in the evening we taught Teresa!!! Teresa is my absolute favorite! She is friends with one of our members and what got her interested was... she noticed a big difference in her friend (the member) when she came back to church and she wants that for herself. She is so prepared!! We are planning on putting her on date this week so pray she notices this is her next step!!
Tuesday: Transfers!! We woke up at 4:30 to drive down to lilburn to drop off Sister White! It didnt really hit me that she was acutally leaving us! We went to transfer meeting met her new companion and off we went. The rest if the day Sister Venema and I felt soooo weird. We got back to the apartment and moved her bed and desk and everything and it literally felt like we were missing something. Such a weird feeling. Tbh i cried a few times hahaha i've love all my companions & never want them to leave me. Hopefully i dont jinks myself.
Wednesday: Things still felt a little off because we were missing a person so it was pretty quiet hahaha. We started tracting but everywhere had already been tracted so we literally had NO WHERE TO GO! It was a weird feeling but thats what we get for being in a town of 600 ppl. HAHAHA
We had a lesson with Isabel & talked about baptism! She seemed to understand the need to be baptized by the right authority and all the great things but said shes to busy right now to focus on baptism. :( We are praying she will make the gospel a priority in her life!!
Thursday: Dont worry things got better!! One of our members took us around our area and showed us hot spots of populated places!! Its funny because even the populated areas have about 10 - 15 homes so we can knock those pretty fast which it takes at least 7 miles to get there so thats 14 round trip and we get about 20 miles total a day! Soooo Yes time to get creative woooo!! We have had so many ideas this week and little tended mercies to help us get through the beginning of the week!
Friday: we tracted one of our new places and met a lot of nice people it felt so good because we knew this was exactly where God wanted us to be. It was also so warm and rainy it felt like summer! We also did more service at the SAFE home and painted another room!! It was so cute because they called us and said "you girls did such a good job painting would you be willing to come back and do more?" THANKS TO MY MOM for teaching me all about painting!
Saturday: we had our first district council for the new transfer and got to meet the new missionaries we are serving around which was so fun!! After we had lunch with a member and she told us she wants to be a missionary with us haha she wants to be our personal uber driver and feed us!! Hahahah In the evening there was a huge storm here in Blairsville! We were on tornado watch and had so much lighting, rain, and thunder!!
Sunday: we woke up and there were trees cut in half from the storm!! Crazy!! We had our wonderful service at the branch and then went with a member to visit some less actives!! I love sundays!! We also drove down to cumming for a ice cream social with the zone!! So fun!!
Missions are the best so everyone GO!!!(if you can and have the opportunity:))
Love Y'all!! Awe
