Jessie in Georgia: Seeing miracles and I'm so flipping LOCKED 🔒 😛- Lilburn, Georgia

WHAT'S UP GUYS

today we are back with another email.

Elder G if you're reading this, your ghost is HAUNTING our district. Two of your videos have already been re-sent in the district chat.

What a crazy awesome miraculous week!!!! Let's get right into ittttt

Monday we had a last supper of sorts (we all brought southern dishes) with our district and signed bye-bye books. Elder Griffin gave a crash course on dating for the departing missionaries. They were screaming and covering their eyes and I cried laughing so freaking hard I miss those fellas already!! Best district freaking ever. We went to Sister Nef's house to paint our nails after! The Ellisons gave us family heirloom moose plates. I got a scary call from pres about transfer news. See tuesday for the news

Tuesday we went to departing devo and we had to say bye to all of the departing missionaries :( Bye to my sweet Sister Balls, Sister Hauck, and Elder Hogan. I bawled like a baby. We took one last pic together as a district. I was comps with Hermana Waters for two days. We had a chopped couple of days trying to juggle both of our areas. We couldn't help each other with contacts either because we didn't share an area book holy chopped cheese but its okay we made it through. I learned a lot from her!!!! She's a powerhouse missionary. Tuesday night we got transfer news and I'm now STLs with Sister Empey! I have no clue how to be a sister training leader and neither does she but yk what we're going to figure it out together.

Wednesday was yet another chopped day with sister waters Most of the day was sister waters trying to figure out how to fit all her crap into her suitcases (we sat on all of them to close them) We had dinner with a spanish member and I understood some of it! Shoutout duolingo. Sister Andrews tried cutting a lime in half with scissors and it got everyfreakingwhere but here's a pic right before that! :

Thursday we went to TRANSFERS Oh how I love transfers. We get to see so many other missionaries at once! We sang called to serve in a big circle with the new missionaries I met my awesome new compy Sister Empey and we headed out! We got right to it and got bashed as soon as we started finding so that wasn't great but LIFE HACK! If you tell them you love them and Jesus loves them and walk away they just get confused and think about their life choices. We called Aria and helped her set up a time for her temple recommend interview!

Friday was probably my most successful and fulfilling day as a missionary to date. We weekly planned, then we talked to quite literally everyone even if it meant we had got back in the car already and saw someone coming out of their balcony two stories up. We did a lot of yelling "CAN WE SHARE A SCRIPTURE WITH YOU!?!?". We ended up finding three people that day . For context, we would usually find 3-4/wk. We had our first STL meeting and realized how cooked we are but it's gonna be so good trusttt!! We had dinner with the Smiths and had a lesson fall through but it was okay because we knocked on four houses and all of them answered. We met some sweet people and planted some seeds. On one driveway we saw a cat with a cone on its head and we were dying laughing it looked so freaking silly.

Saturday was the humidest day of them all. Also a crazy day but we're guessing that it's probably going to be this way every day because we have STL duties now lol. We had DC and met our new district! They're so strange but in the best way. We had these weird burger tacos for lunch... like imagine in n out but it's tacos and the fries are crinkle fries. We planned Zone Focus with the ZLs and headed to a lesson. When we got there, our member said she could see the gal we were meeting run to her bedroom and shut the door. We heard talking and eventually her son came out to say she wasn't home. Okay pal. Anyway we had a member with us so we took advantage of that and went knocking with her. We ended up finding a woman who said she had prayed 10 minutes beforehand for a sign. DING DONG WE'RE HERE! We gave her a book of mormon and she said she was excited to read it with her 2 month old. God is so cooooool!!

Sunday is probably my favorite day of the week probably ever probably yeah. The blessings we promise people every day after we invite them to church are real. I always feel so dang loved and appreciated when I see my ward family!!!! We had the best relief society lesson about supporting one another in our callings. Aria had her recommend interview and we have a temple appointment for this saturday!!!! YAYAYA! We talked with her a bit more about the temple and she was ear to ear cheesing about it. We are THRILLED. We had dinner with the Yanceys and they used their smoker to make us the best chicken freaking ever. I can't eat dairy and Sister Empey can't eat gluten so our members are getting creative lately. We led zone focus about how to "Find Like JESUS!" It was so great and the spirit was so strong.

Bye bye from your fav STLs ever. I love yall the Lord loves yall!!! God bless

xoxo, Sister Anderson
