Hope y'all had an amazing week! I sure did! I'm just going to do a shorter start to my email this week because I have so much to talk about! So lets get started shall we?
TRANSFER CALLS
We had Transfer Calls Saturday morning and it turns out that I am leaving Lebanon and headed to Chattanooga Valley South to serve with Sister Snyder! I'm so excited and a little sad to be leaving the people here in Lebanon! There's so many people that I've grown to love here, but I know that the Lord needs me there in Chatt and I know that there will be people that I will grow to love there just as much!
BAPTISMAL DATE IN JAIL??
For 4 days we wern't able to get a hold of Tony, so naturally Sister Erickson and I thought that he was ghosting us. but it turned out that he was just in jail... the elders called us up on Tuesday morning explaining to us what happend. Sister Erickson and I jumped up with excitment and headed to the jail right away to go and visit him. As soon as we got there we had no idea were to go because none of us had ever been to visit someone there. After what seemed like hours we finally found the visitation center and asked if we can visit with Tony. The lady at the front desk told us to come back at 1:00 and that is exactly what we did. She finally let us in and Im not kidding y'all it looked like we were in a movie scene. It had the class, the bright orange jump suite and the phone were you get to talk to the person on the other side of the glass. Anyway, when us four missionaries walked in Tony was so happy to see us. We were able to have a lesson with him. It was kind of tricky because we had limited resorces and we couldnt give Tony anything so we just read alma 32 with him. Elder Lopez and Elder Fillingim held up the BOM to the class so that Tony can read with us. At the end of the lesson the elders were like you should put him on date. So we did and he is going to be BAPTIZED Febuary 27! Im so excited for him!
TEMPLE TRIP WITH SAM AND JUDY!!
We finally were able to go to the temple with Sam and Judy! I am so glad that we were able to go with them! They absulutly loved it! Judy told us, "now, I know what to do whenever life gets to crazy I'll just go to the temple and God would take care of it!" It was so cool to see the look of happiness on there faces as soon as we got inside the temple!
Religion ladies class with Anne:)!
We had the chance to go to Anne's (our investigator) class with her on Tuesday morning. We were able to go and give some insight on the holy ghost as she is a teacher at the church and she invited us to com with her. Anne is such a funny lady but I love her to death. I am so glad that we went. We left with a really good impression and everyone there told us that we should come back. I felt really good about the dission about going.
I know that thisis the path that Heavenly Father wants me to go. I am so greateful that I am able to be a part of this mission and got to grow close to the people that I have met in the beautiful Lebanon, TN.
