  Wednesday September 23rd: Today was so weird. We had a lot of fun, but it was just an off day. I don't really know how to describe it! Anyway, we went fishing with a ward member named Jesse. He's super cool and we went to another member's private pond and "wow" did it top the place we were going to before!! We caught 19 fish all together!! We came home and chilled the rest of the day and it was good! We invited people for the rest of the night and it was over before we knew it!  Thursday: Before anything else, I just received news that Kaden Baxter was killed today in a tragic car accident. I am not sure how many of you that read this knew him, but he was a year older than me at Wasatch High School and we played football together. I wasn't super close with him, but I was around him a lot. It truly breaks my heart his life was cut so short because of another persons irresponsible, inconsiderate, and ridiculous decision to Drink and Drive. DON'T DO IT! I k...

  Wednesday September 16th: Today was a pretty nice relaxing pday! We woke up and went fishing. I caught one little fish again but we fished for a long while and caught pretty much nothing haha! We came home and we talked with family for most the day and just laid around, it was nice. Later we went shopping and I got my haircut as well! To finish off we went to the Sisters and sat on their patio and had s'mores, it was pretty fun even tho it was quick! We had some good invitations and lessons after 6 as well and it was a super productive night! It was a good day!    Thursday: Today was good! We had a lesson with a guy named Hunter in the morning and we taught him the restoration! He really liked it and he accepted a soft baptismal invitation and wanted a Book of Mormon! So we are going to drop one off to him Saturday and of course once again... not in our area :) We had another lesson with a guy named Jaydon and taught the restoration again. This one went even better! We ...

First off thanks so much to all the people who emailed me this past week, I will try and get back to all of you! Thank you also to the Henderson family for all the  awesome truewear ties!! I can now have a new look almost every day of the months;) They are sweet!! Thank you to the Braddy family as well for the Pepsi, skittles, and sweet hydroflask! I definitely needed a water bottle! Yall are the best, and I'm so lucky to have such a supportive and loving family!! <3  Wednesday Septmember 9th : Today was good! We woke up and talked to family and sent some emails then headed to Walmart to pick up some fishing stuff so we can go on our breaks and pdays in the future! We had Arby's for lunch then headed to a soccer field with the district, it was alright but nothing too exciting haha. We got ice cream after then came home and talked to family and sent emails out again until pday was over. Afterwards we grinded for 3 hours straight contacting and inviting people, it was pretty ...

  Wednesday September 2nd: Today was pretty good! We went to Walmart and then we hung around at the house for a pretty long time. I didn't think the day was going too bad however, Elder Packer was itching to get out and do something, so we called the Sisters and we ended up meeting them at a park. We played some games and it was pretty fun! We came home and did some talking and had 2 of our 3 lessons fall through BUT AT LEAST WE HAD 1!!! We taught the plan of salvation for the first time in my mission. I had someone disagree that Adam was first person on earth and it genuinely stumped me because I never thought I would have to prove that. We talked about it for a long time and I'm definitely going to study up on that question! However, when we were closing up our lesson HE ASKED US for a Book of Mormon. We didn't even have to offer one to him:) He said if yall are gonna use it then I need to have one, not because I believe it, but just so I can follow along. I personally fe...

  Wednesday August 26th,  Today was awesome! We woke up and went to Walmart. We came home and sent emails out and talked to family. Later we headed down to Murphreesboro to play spike ball and pickleball as always! It was so good and sad to see everyone one last time. I knew I had been here for awhile but I didn't realize how close I had become to all the missionaires. I'm really going to miss all of them and living in the Gregory Mill Ward :( I'm excited for what is to come though! We came home and did some calls and then the new elders living here came over so now there are 5 of us until tomorrow night! Its pretty packed lol it's going to be an interesting transfer for the Elders here haha!  Thur: Today was pretty interesting lol! We woke up and moved stuff around all morning and then we had a couple lessons in the afternoon. We went to David's and he gave me a bin, my tie ashes, and some packing tape haha he's the best. Then we headed to the Nashville Stake C...
