Sunday: I hit my 4th month mark wooo another one down!! The months are already flying and tbh its kind of scaring me hahaha I am loving my mission but at the same time its comforting to know that time on the mission acutally does move hahaha
Monday: we tracted a lot and found a few news so that was so awesome!! In georgia I feel like I can be in every country!! We will be in one neighborhood that feels like Europe where no one listens to us, they come to the door sees its the missionaries and then walks away then we go right down the street to africa where theres a bunch of kids and people outside that will listen to us and totally let us talk all about Jesus Christ!! Georgia is awesome but we definitely have got to find the right areas for that southern hospitality hahaha
Wednesday: Zone conference!!! Zone conference was so so good this transfer! We talked a lot about the urgency to get the work done. We need to have the urgency in our actions because are the ones doing the Lords work to prepare people for when he comes again! It truly was such a great reminder of how important this work really is.
Thursday: we did service in the morning and for lunch a YSA student at KSU took us to eat at the commons (their cafeteria)!! KSU is in the top 5 best college cafeteria food in the nation so it was pretty yummy eating there!! We had tabling and it was fun to talk to all the students!!
Friday: we taught Kaitlyn the plan of salvation and she loved the 3 kingdoms we are so excited for her and pray that she keeps progressing!! We are hoping she comes to church on sunday! Kaitlyn is very sweet and sooooo southern i love it!!
Saturday: p day woooo! I love being able to call my family and im so so thankful for the prophet who recieves revelation to guide and direct us! I am so so blessed and so so happy to be able to service for my savior jesus christ!!
Love you all and keep choosing the right!!

Shorter & sweeter
Sunday: such a good day because a ton of less actives that we've visited came to church!! After church we went tracting and knocked into a member who hasnt been to church in a very long time. He told us that he was just talking with his sister about family history and here we were at his door with info about family history! Pretty cool!!
Monday: zone hike wooo!! Hiking in Georgia is so pretty!! Ill send pics because it was so pretty and fun!!
Tuesday: we are teaching a recent convert who has had a rough time at church because she feels like she is leaving her old life!! She wants us to come and study with her so we are very excited for that!!
Wednesday: this day was full of tracting!! We went to institute in the evening & wow i love it!!! Everyone go to institute!! Someone i used to be teaching with the other KSU sisters was there and i got to see her so it was so good!!
Thursday: we tracted all day with no one to talk to! No one wanted to listen to us and it was all around a rough day. But my mom sent me a cookie from Twisted Sugar back home so that definitely made it better :)
Friday: we tracted all day AGAIN! The day started out a little rough but we prayed about where to track and ended up tracking an appartment complex where we met an 11 yr old boy maleak, 40 yr old man David who said we were an answer to his prayers, and the absolute cutest family that we would of missed if we weren't intune with the spirit. The spirit guides everything we do as missionaries and I am so so thankful to be able to hear and recognize it.
Our days are full of tracking with not many lessons but i know that if we keep being diligent in the work we will see blessings and miracles! I am so thakful to be a missionary and for experiences that confirm to me that the Lord trusts me to do his work.
I LOVE YOU ALL AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK WOOOO

day to day of a missionary
Sunday: we had a very less active come to church and shes signed up to feed us so that was so sweet! Also a member brought his friend so church was all around awesome! Sunday was also sister austins birthday so we decorated the whole appartment and suprised her and went to the senior missionaries house who are serving in the YSA branch and had dinner and her favorite chocolate cake!! It was so fun!
Monday: we are spending so much time at KSU i love it! We have found so many people! last week we had 12 news!! YES 12!
Tuesday: we had our last district council awe kinda sad!! I made the one and only famous Barton hot fudge and everyone loved it! Thx for the recipe mom
We taught Clara tuesday we talked a lot about faith and i told her that a mission was something i didnt want/was scared to do but that i felt so strongly that it was something Heavenly Father wanted me to do and that it took a lot of faith for me to take that next step. We talked about the blessings that come from baptism and the importance of taking that step. She told us that she wants to be baptized but us very worried about how her parents will react. Pray her parents will support her!!
For dinner we went to the Lenahans!! The best members! The ones who took us to a REAL italian restaurant, SUSHI, and this time they made REAL BBQ for us!! He said he spent all day cooking just for us!! Omg it was so nice and so yummy!!
Wednesday: We contacted so many people omg its so good! We taught one of our contacts from earlier in the week about families and temples and how through temples we can be with our family for all eternity. Its so special and something i love love teaching people because so many people believe it but then we ask how and they dont know. We have the opportunity to teach them the HOW behind it!! AHHH its so awesome!!
Thursday: we had tabeling!! Tabeling is where you set up a table (obviously) and we have a big whiteboard with a question on it. Our question was "what is your favorite Bible verse?" Then as people walk past we ask them to write their favorite bible verse! Its awesome because so many people get so excited to share! Some people just come up and write it!! Here in the south people love their Bible!! By tabeling we are able to talk about the verse they wrote and turn it in to talking about the gospel and what we believe!! I even had a guy come write one and as we were talking he said wait im looking for a church! And we were able to set a return appointment! Wooo!
Friday: we contacted all day and ended with a lesson with a less active. We taught her the FAT->FIT lesson (families AND temples -> families IN temples) and she loved it. We talked a lot about the work we can do for our families in the temple and invited her to find a name to take. She said she has no idea how so we now have the opportunity to set her up an account and help her find those names!!
My emails are long so if you are still reading this GO YOU! I am truly loving being a missionary and time is already flying!! I have already been here 109 days and it feels like maybe 10. I hope you all can find a way to be a missionary this week. We all have trials but a lot of the time I dont think we realize how blessed we are to have the knowlege that we do. So lets share that!!
Love you all soooo much!

About the mission life
Here we are! Another day and another week as a missionary!! So many times i think to myself "i'm actually on a mission wow" it still feel s surreal that im having all these experiences!!
Monday: ok backing up a lil... last saturday we met brandy.. this is how we met her...While we were tracting we ran into brandy. She was going around screaming and crying hahaha she was yelling because someone stole her aloe plant and she was banging on everyones doors screaming trying to find it. It was a lil sad but really funny. The second time we walked past her she asked what we were doing and we told her we were sharing a message about Gods plan for us. She says in this crying sad voice "can you share Gods plan with me?" We said YES and went into her home and she was crying so we just calmed her down BUT we got a return appointment for MONDAY so after p day we went and taught her the resto! It was so cool because every question she asked led to the next principle! We got a return appointment for TODAY so lets hope that goes good!! Awe brandy is actually so cute.
Tuesday: omg omg tuesday night the butler creek yw asked if i would teach them hairstyles and go over hair tips or their activity and let me tell ya I LOVED IT! To be back in my element was such a blessing! I love the butler creek ward!
Wednesday: we tracted all day! We met a guy who recited three poems to us at his door it was way funny. He was the highlight to my day! Oh we also went to institute for the YSA ward and i really enjoyed that! I got to fill my spiritual bucket!!
Thursday: vladimir didnt show up to our lesson and kyrees lesson fell through so that was sad. Hahaha funny story we had a dinner appointment that we CONFIRMED with the mom and we got there and the grandma told us to wash the dishes so we thought oh ya no problem we can help out! Then the little boy turns to my comp sis austin and says "ok you start making the mac & cheese" we were like wait what the food isnt ready? Hahaha we ended up making dinner for their family and then had to leave hahahah it was so random
Friday: we had a lesson with a lady named Diane that sis austin used to teach in a different area and got permission to keep teaching because she said she will only listen to her. Ya wow is right!! Diane is a very logical lady and shes one of those peopls that acts like they can see right to your soul omg it was kinda scary. But she said she liked me so were ok. Haha
Saturday: tracting ALL day!! We met someone named david! We told him we believe that we should learn all we can about our families because god gave us families and we can recieve so many blessings through the family. We started to talk about living with our families forever after this life and asked him if we could set up a time to teach him more about this plan. (GREAT CLIFFHANGER RIGHT) We got a return appointment for sunday
Sunday: we taught David!! We taught him the beggining of the plan of salvation and stopped at christs life on earth. I love love leaving people at such a great spot because then they so badly want to meet with us again!! Our lesson with him was great and he is very interested! We got a return appointment for tuesday so wooo!!
Monday: zone pday!!! We played softball as a zone!! It was fun to meet new people and just have fun!!
I am loving working hard and being diligent. Missionary work is definitely one of the hardest but definitely the most important and rewarding things ive ever done. Out here in the south many people have strong opinions about religion so being able to approach them by talking about families has changed everything! I LOVE MY MISSION!!
i hope all of you can find a way to talk about how families can be together forever with one person this week!!
Love you all!!

Life changing events
Another week that flew by crazy how the mission life works!! A week full of life changing events as well as fun times wooo
Tuesday: we had the best member dinner ever!! The cutest old couple took us to an italian restaurant sister Trussell loves loves italian! They were so nice! They ordered a bunch of appetizers, we both got whatever we wanted, and dessert!! YES im even fatter than i was HAHAHAAH but yes they told us they wanted to reward us for our hard missionary work. It was so cute. Also the old man plays santa at the mall. Isnt that just the cutest?
Wednesday: we did service for a member! The dirt here in georgia is like clay and she is wanting a garden so we mixed the georgia clay dirt with normal dirt so she can eventually grow something! It was nice to help her out! After we went on exchanges with the senior STLs so basically sister APs!!!! I stayed in acworth with sister fowler and got to know her so much better! It was awesome!
Thursday: Sister Trussell and I had a transfer!! Sister Trussell went to UGA, and I am now in a trio with the STL's TRIPLE covering yes its crazy lots of hard work hahah
Friday: we taught Edward!! Teaching in a Trio is so different but so cool wow! I learned so much! Edward is so awesome and is only 9 we teach his grandma come follow me and he has recently been interested. He had a lot of great questions and participated so much more than our last lesson.
Saturday: we did service at the food pantry!! I was helping a lady with her bags and she goes "wow you're so cute! Are you amish?" HAHAHAH i told her how im a missionary for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and then i realized i really did look amish that day so whoops hahaha
Our mission is very focused on families and temples! I have learned how to take the family and temple initiative and apply it into my missionary work so much more this week!! So many more people talk to us and open up because we start talking about families before anything else. It is so cool to be able to connect with everyone and talk about our families because I LOVE MINE!!
Sunday: Church!!! Yeah i love church omg!! & now triple covering instead of even double covering!! we get to talk and meet more people so thats awesome! 3 wards wooo!
Ok funny story so all the sisters in the zone came over sunday for a sleepover for sisters p day on monday! It was one of the sisters birthdays so we thought... lets make a cake!! We looked in the cabinet and there was what we thought was a cake mix! one white bag and one brown bag! We picked the white one and starting making the cake and the consistency was soooo off!!! We kept adding things and eventually just thought whatever lets just bake it!! It comes out... we try it... and my comp goes it taste like breakfast... HAHAHAHA it was made from pancake mix!! Omg omg dont ever make that it was so not good but so funny!! Probs a had to be there moment but whatever weird things are funny on the mission haha
The Lord is aware of each and everyone of us and remembering that has brought me so much comfort on my mission. He doesnt forget about us he trusts us enough to go through hard times so we are able to come out even stronger. HE LOVES US

We looked in the cabinet and there was what we thought was a cake mix! one white bag and one brown bag! We picked the white one and starting making the cake and the consistency was soooo off!!! We kept adding things and eventually just thought whatever lets just bake it!! It comes out... we try it... and my comp goes it taste like breakfast... HAHAHAHA it was made from pancake mix!! Omg omg dont ever make that it was so not good but so funny!! Probs a had to be there moment but whatever weird things are funny on the mission haha
The Lord is aware of each and everyone of us and remembering that has brought me so much comfort on my mission. He doesnt forget about us he trusts us enough to go through hard times so we are able to come out even stronger. HE LOVES US
