lil change of plans - Peachtree City, Georgia

 This week was pretty great:)


Wednesday: We brought Sister Matheson flowers and chatted with her on her porch for a long time. She is really old, so we had to stay outside and wear masks, but she is so sweet and nice. Ate dinner at the Thomas's house. They are a cute little newly wed couple from ARIZONA! They just moved to Georgia, and it was way fun to talk to them about AZ.

Friday: Taught Amber about the Book of Mormon and she is excited to read it and pray!!:)

Saturday: We had a free car wash at the church with some of the other missionaries in the zone. We met a guy named Sergio from Ukraine that stopped to get his car wash, and we are going to start teaching him! We also walked Sister Kings dog around her neighborhood for her today haha

Sunday: watched stake conference at the Oakes's house, As in Dallin H. Oakes nephew. Yep. That was pretty fun. 

Oh also.... forgot to mention... It's time for me to say goodbye to Georgia, because I am heading to Romania on Friday. Welp. I found out yesterday that I will be leaving PTC after only being here for 3 weeks haha. I am so excited to go to Romania, but not going to lie I am kind of sad to be leaving this mission so soon, because I really really like it here (plus I feel like I just started getting the hang of things haha). 

I'm going to miss how green it is here, all the members and people I met, and quite frankly, I already know I'm going to miss living in the United States lol :')

the ptc bubble - Peachtree City, Georgia

Peachtree City, aka PTC, is by far one of the prettiest placest I've ever been. Its called the bubble because PTC is like this "perfect" little suburb of Atlanta.


This week was kinda crazy busy. One day we did service at a food bank from 8-1. It was hard but way fun. We also helped this lady move which was kinda mostly fun.... she pretty much didn't give us any direction, but then would get mad at us when ever we tried to do something. Idk it was a long 2 days of helping her and i definitely had to pray for some Christ-like charity and patience haha. 

We have been teaching this one girl Sonnie for the past week. She is super awesome and we always have really great Bible discussions. We taught her about the Book of Mormon at the end of one of our lessons and told her to pray about the BOM and told her that she would get an answer that it was true. The next time we taught her she said she prayed and that God told her that the BOM was not true. RIP. My comp and I kinda didn't really know what to say and awkwardly finished our lesson haha at the end of which, Sonnie said she did not want to meet with us anymore.

Amber, one of the girls we are teaching told me she'd paint me a picture of a cactus in the desert and send it to me in the mail. Looking forward to that since i miss az.

I baked cookies and got some flowers for our sweet old man neighbor Todd!!! He is seriously my favorite person and always talks to my companion and for a long time when he sees us.

I finally convinced my companion to go running with me in the morning which was a big accomplishment!

Overall it was a good week:)) hope everyone is doing well! 
I'd love to hear from y'all so email me or send something here:)

Georgia Y'all - Peachtree City, Georgia

 Hey y'all Georgia's been a trip. 


I got here on Tuesday and it kinda already feels like I've been here forever haha

My first area is Peachtree City which is a pretty nice suburb south of Atlanta. It's basically a bunch of southern lookin homes in the middle of tons and tons of trees. It is seriously so green and I actually really like it here. 

Here are some points to describe my week: 

1 fireflies are really pretty and everywhere here
2 Samsung phones are kind of the worst
3 facebook bible studies with random people are pretty fun
4 my companion sister spillman is very nice and a great trainer
5 y'all, everyone says y'all here 
6 the shower in our apartment doesn't work
7 I totally started crying at a member dinner the other night... it was very embarrassing 
8 georgia peaches are as good as people say they are  
9 I'm not very good at chair soccer
10 I love being a missionary and am so excited to finally be in the field :))

Hope everyone has a great week:)
Also plz email me I'd love to here for you all

Also you can send letters here
