Monday
It was pday and pday is always fun! It was President Griffin's 50th birthday so we threw him a surprise party! He ruined it of course by being stubborn and not wanting to come and sneaking on the stage to peek into the gym but he had a great time! I did too! I got to talk to family and friends which is always nice! I get really stressed out though because there is a lot of people to talk to so if you're emailing me be very patient 😜
Tuesday
We did a ton of walking and tracting! I have a ton of blisters on my feet! 😁 We walked over maybe 6 or so miles in the blazing hot sun!
Also it m kind of dumb sometimes so I had a like a suit jacket on and I couldn't take it off because my shirt was cap sleeved! So that sucked! We did meet a few people! Sherrelle was my favorite she is so lively it's awesome! She also loves our Savior now if we could get her to our church that'd be great! 😊 Everyone in this area is very religious and they love Christ which is awesome! Now it's just hard to get them to the right church! 😊 For dinner that was also a very great part! We ate with the Harris family! They are so funny and sweet! I just love them so much! I finally felt at home here with them! It reminded me of my house how we're a bunch of goofballs! It was awesome! 💜
Wednesday
This morning we had our weekly planning! It was super helpful because me and Sister Blau are really starting to get to know each other now so we're talking more which is great! We drove a lot today! To the prettiest place I've seen so far in this great place of Knoxville!
Like it was way pretty pictures don't do it justice! Now if only the trees had their leaves it would be so much prettier! We only have 3 investigators so we're looking for more and checking on our in-actives! Nobody is really interested but that's okay, they will be sometime! Just gotta plant a seed!
Thursday
We did a lot more walking today! It was fun! Sister Blau and I are opening up more and getting closer! It's awesome! Our Heavenly Father really does answer prayers for sure! We went to visit people but same old same old, nobody would answer. We finally went over to the Bundy's house for Sister Blau and her old companion's investigator Tab! He had his interview with President Griffin and it went awesome and he's getting baptized on Saturday! I'm so excited for him!
Friday
We did a lot of studying! We also had district meeting. It was alright, I really don't know the Elders and everyone is so close because they've been out for about the same time and I'm just the greenie, but whatever I'll get there! We tried to visit some people and the First Lady we went to, Rhonda, was outside so we talked with her and we had an awesome lesson about the Book of Mormon and how it was written for us and how we can apply it into our lives! It was awesome!
I had a major change of heart (I guess you could call it that) but I am reading the Book of Mormon and I haven't been putting in a lot of effort! Then Sister Blau inspired me to read the Book of Mormon with a purpose! I can't wait to tell ya'll how it goes! I'm so excited!
Saturday
Well we didn't do much! We did studying and my study was awesome! I'm "feasting" on the Book of Mormon! It's awesome! We didn't really do much today but basically walk around! It's been a hard couple weeks because nobody wants to talk to us. It makes me sad because I just want to share the gospel with everyone! Everyone deserves to be happy and have Christ in their lives but I guess they're not ready yet...
The baptism for Tab was super awesome! I'm so glad I got to be a part of it and meet one of the greatest guys on Earth! Tab is truly amazing! The first time I met him he told me the Book of Mormon was written for him and I just got in on it. I want my testimony of the Book of Mormon that strong someday and I'm working toward it now! 😊
Sunday
We had church and Tab received the Holy Ghost! He was so excited! I'm so happy for him! There was no way that smile was coming off of his face! Church was good sacrament was the best well it always is but I enjoy sacrament more than class! 😊 After church we had a missionary meeting and we decided we are just gonna come out and just tell the ward to be friendly! This ward is great just they all don't have a relationship with each other. They need just a good talkin to I guess!
😑 We had dinner with the Bishop's family! It was awesome! They're going to be great missionaries one day! They have a bunch of people, well two, that they want us to teach! I'm so excited! 😊
So like a good missionary I'm going to leave all ya'll with a challenge! Feast on the Book of Mormon if you haven't already! I don't care if you're a member, non-member, less active, or whatever you may be! Do it and you won't regret it! It's because I love you I encourage you to do this! 😊💜
I love you all so much and thanks for all the love, support, and prayers! I've really felt it all out here in the great land of Tennessee! Talk to you next week! 😊
Love,
Sister Jacob
