Probably a shorter one inbound, I feel like I'll go crazy if I write a long one😵‍💫

How was yalls week?? If you said good, then try to make it great this week. If you said bad, why? Did you involve Christ into your life this week? If not then I'd say that's one way to stsrt making your week better. Pinky promise🤙

My week was pretty good, I don't remember how we got to another Monday though. I remember thinking last week was going to be long but yet here we are!

Here's some highlights!!

- We went to a little bit of our friends football game because she asked us to duh😌 it was fun to feel the rush of football again!

- We helped mow a 3 acre lawn Wednesday night. So ling story short I used a weed-eater for 2 1/2 hours nonstop and it made my forearms destroyed. Some cartoon droopy arm injury it was bad😅 but so much fun I stinkin love service!

- Then Thursday morning we helped chop down trees and we chopped one big tree down with an axe. Bucket list item checked off✔️✅️ so that made my forearms EVEN WORSE!

- Saturday was the BIG DAY!! The day we'd been hyping up for over 2 months! The Tabernacle Choir Watch Party! We've been handing out invites to this for that long and the day finally came!

We got to set up and help the Stake put this on. This party was THE party might I add. So the other zones in my mission did parties too but the Chattanooga Stake had the party the Church News came to AND we got to meet Derrick Porter who is in charge of the Music and the Spoken Word! So we're famous now right??

It was such a good time playing corn hole and seeing everyone enjoying themselves and then watching the Choir sing so beautifully to represent the cultures of the world was outstanding! Such a cool event go to church news and find the recording of it if you didn't see it you won't regret promise!

-Sunday we taught Katelynn and then Isabell outside playing volleyball. We set a baptismal date for Isabell and have one more to set up with Kaelei!

ALSO!! JACKIES BAPTISM IS SATURDAY!! PLEASE PRAY FOR HER🙏🙏😊 she's doing so good I don't want anything crazy to happen this week and I need yalls help!

That's about it but for a spiritual thought I'm grateful for the prophet of the world and his super cool 100th birthday today! I had the chance a couple months ago to read all of his numerous General Conference addresses and was overwhelmed by the knowledge he has to offer given to him by revelation. Not only as the prophet but as an apostle and worthy priesthood holder. He's a man of wise words and wise actions.

When looking back, I knew he was the prophet when he implemented Come Follow Me and a home centered learning approach. As a health specialist, I knew he was a smart man, but God called him for his expertise in his profession as well when the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world. The smartest most experienced prophet we could have for the given scenario was President Russell M. Nelson!

I know prophets are literal mouthpices of God. They are righteous men that were foreordained to be leaders. They never do things for their own gain but for the gain of us, God's children. I love them and I love President Nelson and his love of the Savior.

FOLLOW THE PROPHET!!

Have a great week yall! Let me know anything fun you're doing this week! Less than 10 months before I can do something fun with yall😁🙃
