I've had so many amazing spiritual experiences and learning experinces This week.I forgot to tell y'all last week sadly Elder Springer had to go home. We were all prety sad about it. But he said he would come back out in 6 months from now.
Anyway im sure you would like to hear how my week went so lets get into it.

 7/25/17 (Tuesday)
Pday!!! Today was really busy. We woke up at 5:15 in the morning to do laundry. Every time we go at 6:30 its always full and it was still full at 5:15! crazy! After we were done with our laundry and writing our families we finally got to go to the temple! It made my day because I was having a pretty rough day that day. After we were done with the temple we went to go pick up our packages and went back to our residents hall until dinner. We went to a devotional that night and  choir practice. We sang in the MTC Choir  It was pretty cool. After the devotional we went back to our classroom and I got a blessing from Elder Lingwall and Elder Whitby. Elder Lingwall said it and he is freaking amazing. His testimony is so strong. I felt the spirit so much and I litterally can feel Jesus Christ  wrapping his arms around me. It was an amazing experiance. As soon as Elder Lingwall said Amen. I felt at peace. It was incredible.

7/26/17 (Wednesday)
I had a little bit  of a better day today exept we had to wake up early again to do service. We cleanned the bathrooms which they were so gross! After we were done with the bathrooms we had to vacuume the halls. In class Brother Griffiths (our teacher) had us do some more street contacts and teach different people. I loved it. Later that night I had to talk to the branch president. Can I just say I honestly love my district. My whole district came with me to the meeting to support me. I thought that was sooo nice of them. I told them that they didnt have to come but they wanted too. After I talked to president Redding I felt so much better. He told me to go and read my patriarticle blessing. I got this reasurance that I was ment to be here. It was a pretty great experience. Before my blessing we had TRC's again it went pretty well. Sis. Dekarver and I felt the spirit so much. It was crazy. So I think that it went pretty well.

In Brother Griffiths class this morning we did a pretend chapel tour with just our district. We went around our building were we have class in and talked about where things were and what we did.It was pretty awesome. I felt the spirit so much. Oh Michelle and Kevin thank you so much for the package! I loved it!

Today was infield Orentation today. It was good. Way long though! We got there at 8:15 and it didnt get out tell 5:30. It was crazy. It just basically talked about how we can become better missionaries. I learned a lot. towards the end they put on a little skit and I thght it was so funny. It just talked about what we do the first couple of days in the field. Im so excited but really nervous. We had our last lesson with Makayla today. It went prettywell we taught her avot the ten commandments and the word of wisdom. In our district meeting that night. Elder Alm was undoing the votton on his suit and Elder Stritikus yelled "Not the bottons not my gumdrop buttons!" it was so funny.

7/29/17 (Saturday)
Today inour class we wet outside and we did an activity were we had t close our eyes and teach the plan of salvation. If th investigatgor got lost dring our lesson they stepped back. It was so fun but really intense. In sister Petrie's class we talked about humility and charity. During the end of class we had a little mini testimony meeting. Everyone was crying during it. The spirit was so strong. We then had TRC's that night and it was our last day meeting with Candice. She didnt show up at all it was pretty sad.

7/30/17 (Sunday)
All the departing districts in our zone had to sing in sacrament meeting. It was really pretty. We sang "I Stand All Amazed" it was so gorgous. After relief society. After that we went to the departing devotional it was pretty good. It mostly talked about music and how music brings the spirit. We then went back to our residency buildings and got ready for bed. Right before we went to sleep. The sisters in our room armed wrestled Sister Miller. Dang. She is strong! im going to miss the girls in my room so much theyre so sweet.

Yeah, thats pretty much how my week went! I am so excited to get out into the field and teach, serve and love the people in knoxville!
