Week 30 - 9 hours in a car dealership

This week was crazy yall. 

First off I would like to tell you the story of our car. So Soster younger and I took the car to go get looked at because of the time when it broke down on New Years Eve. So we took it in and they said it would be about 2-3 hours. We didn't have a way to leave so we decided to stay and just do our studies. So 2 and a half hours later, he comes and tells us that it is probably going to be 3 more hours. So we went to Carabbas and got lunch, came back and stared at a wall for 3 hours lol. So then. He says they have to have both keys to make the car work. And the other key is in Lilburn. So then they were so kind to give us another on for free. So then. The car is done. So we drive it to a place to get an emissions test. Get there, we fail the emissions test and the transmission stops working.... so we drive at 5 miles per hour back to the dealership where we sit for another 3 hours. Then we are told that the car has to stay overnight because its broken and too hot to fix. Lol. So that's the story of when we spent 9 hours in a car dealership. The car is fixed now so no worries. 

But we also had zone conference and that was so good! I dont know what we are going to do when President Marsh leaves :(

We found the best Mexican place this week. Like little trailer thing with the best tacos ever. Authentic and BOMB. Catch me there every Friday. 

Had members being psycho to us all week. Screaming at us, making us the love note deliverers, and getting roasted at branch correlation. But all around a good week! 

My absolute favorite talk ever is The First Great Commandment by Elder Holland and I listened to it a lot this week and I just wanted to share this quote from it. 

"'If ye love me, keep my commandments,' Jesus said. So we have neighbors to bless, children to protect, the poor to lift up, and the truth to defend. We have wrongs to make right, truths to share, and good to do. In short, we have a life of devoted discipleship to give in demonstrating our love of the Lord. We can’t quit and we can’t go back. After an encounter with the living Son of the living God, nothing is ever again to be as it was before. The Crucifixion, Atonement, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ mark the beginning of a Christian life, not the end of it. It was this truth, this reality, that allowed a handful of Galilean fishermen-turned-again-Apostles without “a single synagogue or sword” to leave those nets a second time and go on to shape the history of the world in which we now live."

It's so important that we remember where our loyalties lie and that we are expected to follow the example of Christ at all times. We made that promise when we were baptized and it is a lifelong promise we are expected to keep. And the ultimate motivation to do all those things is our love for God and Jesus Christ. 

I hope yall have a great week!

Week 29 - It's Cold

Hello everyone! Another week here in Georgia. 

Some of the highlights 

• we met the nicest lady Alexa and were able to have a lesson with her

• institute started back up! Old testament baby. Also though the elders brought 2 investigators and we started in Moses so that was super not fun for them but they liked it so oh well. 

• got to try Bojangles. It's interesting. It makes you feel so sick though. Like taco bell but 10× worse lol. And I had Chick Fil A that night. It was a big mistake. 

• had interviews this week! 

• met with Christopher and he's doing really well! He was able to come to church yesterday! He's the cutest. 

• it rained all week long basically. And it's pretty cold. 24 today but feels like 16. Can't complain though theres no snow.

Not much else to talk about. Just a pretty good week.

"He loves you not only for who you are this very day but also for the person of glory and light you have the potential and the desire to become.

More than you could ever imagine, He wants you to achieve your destiny—to return to your heavenly home in honor."

- Elder Uchtdorf

Have a great week!

Week 28 - the 2nd coming is in September!!

Hello from Kennesaw, Georgia!

This week the other sisters got Sister Solis! She's from Indiana and is serving at Temple Square but is doing her outbound here in Georgia. It's a party!!

Had some pretty big storms over here. Tornado watch but no tornado. But we had to stay in all night because it wasn't the best weather to be out in. 

We were doing some studies on campus and then this visiting fraternity comes in and starts dancing and singing for like 20 minutes. It was wild. 

On Sunday, we are all sitting in relief society, and this girl walks in. And she raises her hand to make a comment and starts talking about how she was visited by the Holy spirit in a vision like Mary and that she prays to him because he's higher than God. And that she knows that Jesus is coming in September. So keep your eye out. Lol. Never a dull Sunday. 

Today we had a lit p day. We went bowling, did laser tag, and then played some games at the church. Not to be dramatic but my team crushed it. 

Have the best week ever!

Love always

Transfers and Root Canals

An eventful week! So I'll just hit some of the highlights!

We had sisters p day on monday and I ran into a rack and almost gave myself a black eye!

Tuesday I got a root canal. It was a great way to kick off the new year lol. Then as we were trying to get to bible study our car broke down and so we ended up cancelling bible study and the elders came and rescued us. Happy New Years Eve! Lol. 

Friday was my 6 month mark! So crazy! So we went out to Cracker Barrel to celebrate! 

Saturday a member took us to 5 guys! We were so excited to be fed! And then yesterday another member invited us over for dinner! It's a new years miracle. 

Last night we got transfer calls! Sister Younger and I are going to be staying together but the other sisters we live with are going to be getting a temple square Sister! So that's really exciting! 5 girls in this apartment is going to be an adventure.

Anyways that's about it. I love all yall and I hope you are all getting on top of your new years resolutions. 

Helaman 5:12

"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."
