Sis. McKenzie's Mission Memoirs: What an amazing week!!:)

Hey everybody! Im very happy here in Lebanon. This week Im going to do something a little different because doing the letters day by day takes forever and they seem to be a little too long each week. I also dont really like it all that much. Haha. So instead, Im going to list off a few of my favorite parts of the week and share a couple of really awesome experiences I had this week.

We had new missionary orentaion this week and I loved it. New missionary orentaiton is just when a bunch of new missionaries come together and the president and his wife and the presidents assistants do some training. We focused alot about how we can be better companions and how we can see gof become better missionaries. :) During the meeting I got to see some of the best people who I`ve gotten to know well over the first three weeks in the MTC. My MTC district! I was so excited to see them because I had missed them all so much. Definitely one of the highlights of the week. Not gonna lie. ;) Another highlight of that day was that I found my camera! I have been looking for it sense I arrived in Tennessee. Sense we were in knoxville that day for the new missionary orentation we went over to the hotel that I stayed in my first night there and asked them if they had seen a pink camera and they had it! Crazy thing is that they had found it in the sheets after it was takin out of the washer and my camera still worked!! It still had my pictures and stuff on it. Tendor mercy right there!:)

I finally got to meet Cynthia this week as well! We havnt been able to see her in a while because she had got poison ivy and she was just waiting for it to heal. Cynthia is so cute she is actually on date for baptism for October 24 which is awesome! Sister Knegt and her old companion met her by trying to go over to her house and teach her sister who doesnt live there anymore and just ended up teaching her. :) her testimony is already so stong and is growing so fast. Angel and Lucas are doing great! Angel came to church on sunday! She seemed to really feel comfortable there because everyone was going up and talking to her which was fantastic. She seemed to really have enjoyed it too. :)

Sam and Judy are doing awesome! They are coming to church every sunday and are loving it! We havnt gotten to meet with them for a while ether because they were out of town for the eclipse. A couple weeks ago they asked if we drank coffee and tea over text message and we tried to explain to them the best we can. After that they were really confused but during there camping trip they had a friend with them who happend to be LDS! He talked with them for hours and answered alot of there questions! We were able to meet with them on friday and teach them the word of wisdom and they understood what we were teaching them and accepted our invitation to live the word of wisdom without any concerns. The lord has definetly been looking out for them. :)

We also gained 3 new investigators this week! We are teaching Rachel tonight! So that is awesome! I have definitely seen the lords hand this week. He has blessed us in so many ways. Im so grateful that I can be out here serving him!
