Hey y'all!
So tomorrow is my Birthday!!!! It will be great because I get to do missionary work! I was able to give a talk yesterday in sacrament with my recent convert Jim. It was fantastic. I talked on in what ways can we actively seek opportunities to share the gospel? I was nervous. Then the Sperliens walked in with my packages. One from my family. They are great! And one from sis Madsen my trainer (she is amazing!) and sis Chidester, my mtc comp who is now comps with sis m. It made my day to get them! They sent me a smash book/scrape book with some pictures and cards, they're so great! It was pretty nerve wrecking to speak. I feel like I did okay. The elders in our ward sang a song with us yesterday too. Right after i finished talking we sang how great shall be your joy.  It went really well! Then I opened my packages after church.  Last week we had a baby cockroach in our apt, it was nasty! It's been really hot here but it should cool off this week! I'm so excited for nice weather! Make it a great week!

Then the Ap's from macon brought the bike elders, the macon sisters, the zone leaders from cochran, the sisters from cochran and all 6 elders from our district plus us.  Of course we had a sports day. It was at our building and it was amazing! I had a great time! We played basketball, volleyball and chair soccer! best p day ever! I loved it. I got a little sore after though but it was great! My comp and I gave a training at district meeting last tues on the laws and ordinance chapter. The zone leaders came again. They were here for my last training. It went pretty good. So glad it's over though. We all went to stake and she after for lunch. It started pouring rain when we went to leave it was crazy! we got soaked! Sat I've been out on my mission for 4 months! It's going by so fast! Sat it rained again for most of the day we did service out side so we got soaked again! then Pres and sis Cottle came to our ward on Sunday. So that was fun to see them! It's my b-day a week from tomorrow. So thats exciting! I hope you all have a blessed week!

Hey yall,
    This has been a great week! I cooked bacon yesterday, it was amazing! One night coming home on our porch screen we saw a frog! 
  We've been able to work more with the members to get member presents. Which helps our investigators so much. Mon then we went for a walk with Vicki and Jim and their family for FHE and we picked wild blackberry's it was great! We also took pic of a gross bug.We taught this guy the first lesson in the middle of the road so I ended up getting a sun burn. It went away pretty fast so it's okay!
       We were able to do exchanges with the sister training leaders in Dublin! Sister Owusu is from gana/california/utah. We liked singing together. I learned so much from her. I loved going down to Dublin. It was such a great learning experience. The people there are so welcoming. I loved getting to know them and see miracles happen. They have weird tree's down there covered in the weird web stuff that is pretty gross. Bro and Sis Griffith used to serve in my area as military relations but they were recently released. They Live in Dublin and took us out to lunch at Zaxby's! (They might go visit my family in Oct :D ) 
          I loved Zone training. I learned a lot about using the pamphlets and listening to my companion and so much more. It was great! After that as usual all the sisters in the zone go out to lunch. This Time Zone training was in Warner Robins (my Area) so it made it easier for us. I also go a picture with one of the greatest people ever! Andrea Vincent she is so helpful to the missionaries all over the Zone we all love her so much!   
        Saturday  Sister Weir invited us to help her, we wrote scriptures on cards and decorated a container to put them in and give to vicki to help her feel closer to Christ, and remember she is a child of god!  I love being a missionary I'm so blessed to have this opportunity. Thanks for all your love and support.

Hey yall!
So this week was great! My companion go sick so we were inside from tuesday to wednesday. That was a little hard but I got a lot of things done like cleaning make phone calls and stuff. We had lunch at a members house friday and we had hamburgers. We ate then he said they were good enough so he wanted to make us another and then they gave us ice cream. I was so full. It was a later lunch so we had dinner with our recent convert only a few hours later. Something a missionary once said is "anyone can eat when they're hungry, it takes a great missionary to eat when they're full". So true, especially when it was the exact same thing all over again! Yesterday we had an investigator we've been teaching come to church and bring her less active husband. It was so great to see them at church. she looked so happy to be there. I love seeing how the gospel truly brings so much happiness to peoples lives. It changes their continuance as they receive the "glow". I'm so grateful for that chance I have to be a missionary and help others come unto Christ!
