Week 19 - Happy Merica Day! 🎊🎉🇺🇸🎆🍔🌭

Howdy Y'all!

I hope you all had just a fantastic week! My week was pretty slow
because apparently nobody likes hanging with missionaries! Just
kidding everyone was just so busy, but that's okay! It did seem like
everyone wanted to see us on Saturday though!

We will start with the sad news and then work our way up to happiness.
Matt was supposed to get baptized, but we ended up having to cancel.
It was so sad because he was so excited and so ready, but his family
members I guess were not. That's okay though because he is still
awesome and doing what he needs to and then one day when everyone is
ready he will be baptized! That will be a fantastic day! I know it! 😊
Other than that not too much happened besides a lot of no's and try me
again later's.

Saturday was the most eventful day! We visited with a lot of families!
We started on one side of our area and then worked our way to the
other side! We first saw.  Tony and Connie. Connie was sick so we
didn't really see her, but we talked to Tony and he said that they
have been reading the Book of Mormon together and that Connie has been
asking a lot of questions, especially about temples! They are talking
about getting sealed after she is baptized! I am so happy for them! I
love them so much! 😊💜 After, we went and saw some more families and
just shared a video called "Your Potential, Your Privileges". It is so
good! I urge you guys to check it out! It's just so good and it's
funny how we all don't see the potential that we have, but others can.
We can know for ourselves if we just ask. How do you know what your
potential and your privileges are if you don't ask and find out for
yourself? That's what our Heavenly Father wants us to do and I know
with a surety that he will answer! 😊

Saturday evening was the most eventful! After our visits we went to do
some service for one of our recent converts. We were cleaning up her
backyard and we were under some trees. Well I was just picking up
garbage and minding my own business when something fell on my head
from above. I thought it was just a stick, so I was shaking my head to
get it out. Well I asked Sister Wright to take a look and see what it
was. She thought it was a stick too until she touched it. Turns out A
BIRD POOPED IN MY HAIR!!!!! THAT'S DISGUSTING! 😑😷😝😂 Sister Wright
is the best though because she cleaned it out! Hahahaha 😂😜 Let's
just say I took a long shower when I got home. A long, hot one.

Remember how I said that Connie was sick? Well before we went home we
went and got a get well soon card, some treats, and some fake flowers.
We got some for her and another card, treats, and fake flowers for
another one of our less actives, Melissa, who is just amazing! Then we
dropped them off at their houses and door bell ditched them! It made
their night and it just made me so happy to make their day better!
That's my favorite part of serving is making people smile and
brightening up their day! 😊💜

I love serving the Lord out here in the beautiful place of Tennessee!
I wouldn't want to be anywhere else and I wouldn't want to be doing
anything else. I love serving, it's just the greatest thing to be
doing! Seeing random strangers smiling faces, making new friends
everyday, and making so many fun memories! I absolutely love it! 😊💜
I hope you all have an awesome week and a Happy 4th of July! I am
proud to be an American where I am free to worship how I choose! I am
so grateful for those that have fought for that freedom! Both of my
Grandpas, Grandpa Charlie and Grandpa Andreasen, who are gone now, but
will always be remembered! I am grateful for everyone else who has
served this beautiful country! Thank you! You da bomb! 💣🇺🇸😊

Have an awesome week and a TNT filled day! 😊🎆🇺🇸 Remember the
church is true, the book is blue,  and I love you! 😊💜

Love,
Sister Jacob
