Missionary Chronicles: I'll Get There Haha

Hola a todos!

I'm sorry I'm getting this out later than normal. I've been so crazy busy this week! Before I get into it, I have one birthday shout-out! My Grandma Adams had a birthday this week!! Happy birthday Grandma!

Alright y'all, this week was so busy! I don't think I've worked this hard my whole mission lol. However, I'm loving it! I'm now living in Lawrenceville, GA and I'm serving in the Riverside Spanish Branch! I'm in a trio for the first time and my two companions are absolute beasts! Two of the hardest workers I know! Somehow I got really lucky because I was already amazing friends with both Hermana Pease and Hermana Broderlow and now we get to be companions haha. 

We are also the TL's here in the Lilburn Zone. We are over 5 companionship of Sisters (12 Sisters). As TL's we work with the Zone Leaders to give trainings, conduct exchanges, facilitate the work in the Zone, set goals for the Zone, and a lot more hahah. Everyday is full of planning and more planning but I'm honeslty loving it. This is a great opportunity for me to minister and experiences the behind-the-scenes of missionary work.

When we aren't planning, we teaching and finding. This Spanish Branch has proven to be pretty similar to my last Branches in the way that we have a lot of inactive members. Most of the teaching that we do is specifically trying to get in with these inactive families and find their un-baptized kids. We are currently trying to teach one 16 year old named Huber. It's been kind of difficult though because there isn't much of a push from his family. We're going to attack finding this week, so hopefully we'll be able to find some new people to teach. 

My Spanish is starting to come back to me which is a huge blessing. Throughout this week I've just been trying to remind myself that these Latinos are some of the kindest people and they aren't going to judge me for my mistakes. As I've just opened my mouth and tried my best, I've been able to communicate with them and begin to form relationships with these members.

Alright y'all, that's all I have for this week. I'm excited to keep chugging along in this new assignment and keep giving my all in this area. I hope y'all have a great week! Can't wait to fill y'all in next week! Love y'all!!
