Transfers were pushed up a week due to President having meetings with general authorities and such so I'm leaving Bristol and going to the only Spanish speaking ward in the mission! It is sad to leave all those I have come to know so well here in the birthplace of country music and I wish I could stay but I am excited to serve where I'm assigned now. The past week has been great and it started off with us receiving furniture for the apartment. We quickly assembled a couple tables and couches and then headed over to Kingsport for interviews with President Graham. It was great to see other missionaries as always and speak with our knowledgeable president.
Our weekly ward correlation meeting went great as we discussed the needs of those we're teaching, discovered new ways to find, and organized an actual meal calendar. The ward is starting to come alive as we are heading into phase 2 of missionary work and can see them in there homes. A few people we've been teaching have had some covid scares so we're keeping with phone calls for now but a huge highlight from the week was meeting Diane. She is a Jewish friend of some members who loves to cook and has lots of service to do at her house, so missionaries written all over. We spent all morning and afternoon weeding her jungle of a garden in the pouring rain and it was awesome. She hooked us up with some fresh socks and dry t-shirts before taking us out for some authentic barbecue. We talked religion the whole time and she is so fascinating, pretty much already a member and we'll see her again tomorrow.
Yesterday at church a member gave an amazing talk about praying to God always rather than just when we need Him. We should always be reaching out in adoration and love to our Heavenly Father and those around us. Not just on Sunday but always. Hope all is well, and see y'all in Georgia hablando español pues, aahhh!
