Taking the Shots: "I'LL GO WHERE YOU WANT ME TO GO!" (Week 51: 8/29-9/5)

Well.... Goodbyes aren't always my favorite, but they are a necessary
thing if we want to grow.

So, a lot of things have been on my mind this week. As you can see I
am writing about week 51 today and my experiences I have had this past
week, but this week I hit a huge milestone in my mission. I seriously
can not believe I have been out for a whole year. It truly surprises
me on how much growth and change I have seen. I am truly not the same
person I was before I came out. The mission has truly refined me.
Heavenly Father has taken a something (not so wonderful) to a diamond
(something beautiful). A year ago today I left my heart in a place
that I had spent 19 years, to go somewhere where I had no idea what it
would be like.

Well saying goodbye isn't just hard for when you leave your home, but
when you leave areas. This past week I left a place that was so dear
to my heart. Chancellor/Fredericksburg will always have a place in my
heart. So many wonderful people. Well I left there and got to my new
area on Tuesday! I am serving basically in the middle of no where
again. Haha!

Crozet, Virginia will be my new home for at least the next 6 weeks!
WOOOHOOO! So where is Crozet? It is in between Charlottesville and
Waynesboro and about an hour or so from my first area Harrisonburg! 💕
SAY WHAT!!???!!! Super amazing!

So we have a baptism scheduled and that's super exciting. :) I know
the Lord has truly sent me here for a reason and I know that I want to
follow His will!

This area is amazing so far and there are so many wonderful people.
Some people are crazy, but there is crazy people everywhere.

Here is one funny story that happened to us yesterday! We saw this old
man sitting on his front porch of his trailer home with a guitar in
his hand, so we decided to go and see if we could sing a song with him
(yes, I know I'm not that good, but singing at every lesson... You get
better) but he turned us down, but he said let's hear your message, so
we start to talk and then he brings up Adam and Eve and the whole
story of them! Well then he asks my companion a question and at this
point he was just talking and we'll just continued talking, so Sister
Campbell and I kind of blanked out... Well he got all mad and told us
to get off his porch and to never park where we parked again. He said
if we did he would call the cops and or I don't know what. CRAZY!

Ohh and I got a new companion as well! WOOOHOOO! I'm really sad that I
left Sister Roundy, but I know she will take care of Chancellor! My
new companions name is Sister Campbell! She is from St. George, Utah!
And has been out for about 8 months! She is soo fun!

I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know as we have
faith, (just that little seed) we will be able to feel of Heavenly
Fathers love for us! We will have the power to keep going even through
our hard trials. I am so grateful for this time that I have been on my
mission. It has truly been an amazing experience.

Thank you all so much for the support!

I love y'all!
