This week was really good. We had transfers this week and I got transfered to the Chatt Valley south area! As I said in my last email Im serving with Sister Snyder who is the cutest human ever! She is technically from Georgia because she was born here but moved to Highland, Utah a couple of years ago. We both get along really well! Since we like most of the same stuff! Anyway, I'm sure y'all are dying to hear what cool things that happened this week so let's get started:)!
Monday- Last p-day in Lebanon. Elder Fillingim, Elder Lopez, Sister Erickson and I went out to breakfast to Shoney's I had some French Toast eggs and bacon which was all really good. After breakfast we went over to the church to have one last Nerf Gun war as a district. It was way fun! Some of the elders investigators came and played with us. I have some pictures down bellow. Later that night we had FHE with the Westbrooks and we helped Boogie with family history stuff and just said goodbye to everyone.
Tuesday- Sister Erickson and I got a text from Tony that morning saying that he was finally able to get out of jail!! Sister Erickson and I were so excited that we literally jumped out of our seat! We wanted so despritly to run over to his house and see him but figured that we should probably give him a little bit of space before we went to see him again. After we got the text from Tony we went over to Mama Tays again to watch the broad cast for President Nelson. It was so cool to watch the announcment! We had a lesson with Alan after that, which went really well. I got to say goodbye to him and everything like that. Later that night we had one last lesson with Ben before I left. We taught him about temples and families which went really well! After the lesson was over Ben says "Wait, that was it?!" So we asked him if he wanted to learn more and he said yes! So we were able to teach him about callings. It was so cool knowing that I was able to teach him everything before I left. Now all he needs to do is come to church one more time and then he is ready for baptism:)!
Wednesday- Transfer day!! We woke up wednesday and got ready for me to leave Lebanon. Before leaving we were able to stop by Tony's to say a quick goodbye before I left. We then headed to Farragut for transfers were I got to meet Sister Snyder! It was fun to see most of my friends there. We finally left to go back to Chatt Valley. We got to the house and I was able to get all settled in. It was strange to find out that we were going to be living in a house instead of an apartment. Later that day I found out that our house is almost 100 years old so, that's differrent!
Thursday- We had district meeting today and I finally got to meet our district! In our district we have Sister Wanless, Sister Tiejen, Sister McCune, Sister Wiseman, Elder Bingham and Elder Bradford (who is our District leader). All are really nice! I was really excited to find out that Sister Wiseman was in our district because We came out together! After district meeting we went out to eat with the district. We went to a mexican restaurant and of course I got a Quesidella. After lunch we went back to the church and weekly planned there since we know dont have wifi in our house. After that we went back home to take a quick nap and then finnished weekly planning. I also got to talk to Boogie that night which totally made my day:)!
Friday- We had a lesson with a lady in our ward today. Oh my gosh it was so hard to get out of there apperintly she really needed to talk because we ended up leaving 5 hours later! After our lesson we decided to go to Wal-Mart to pick up somethings that we needed right then. After Wal-Mart we went over to visit one of our investigators named Ben who is a pretty cool guy. We talked for him for a little bit and then went home for the night.
Saturday- We helped a family in our ward move! For a couple of hours that morning. Which was pretty fun! We then got a couple of things done at the house and went to ward Correlation. I got to meet our ward mission leader. Who is really nice! His name is Timothy. After ward correlation we went back home and decided to build a fort to keep warm. Our house was so cold friday night that it was so hard to get out of bed! But, it is all good now!
Sunday- Today we went to ward Council were I finally got to meet our bishop. Who is the sweetest guy! We then went to church. We stayed after for choir which was really fun! After church we had our studies .We were so tired we could hardly Keep our eyes open so we decided to take a nap before dinner. After our nap we had a dinner apointment with the Fawsons who are the nicest people! We then ended the day by talking to district leader for weekly calls and then went to bed.
Im so excited to be here in Georgia for this next transfer. Although I miss the beautiful area of Lebanon I know that this is were the lord wants me to be! Hope y'all have a great week!
Love y'all!
