Now in Georgia

I am now in Georgia. My first area is Cochran and my companion's name is Sister Hatfield. Things are going well and hopefully, we'll be having some baptisms coming up. There are ups and downs here just as there are everywhere, but we just have to take them as they come. I really miss having mountains, but it's all good. We have tons of pine trees. Anyways, really busy and will update later. BYE!

Life at the MTC

Hey everyone!
I got my travel plans and I fly out to Atlanta, Georgia on December 22 at 8:30 in the morning!
I'm loving the mission. I've had so many wonderful experiences. It's the hardest, yet most rewarding and best thing I've ever done. I love it.
My companion, Sister Savage, and I have had the opportunity to teach a real investigator. The spirit is so strong here and I'm coming closer to our Savior each and every day. I'm so grateful for the Church and the gospel. It has helped me in so many ways.
Despite what you may think, it's not ALL spiritual, we've had some pretty fun and funny moments here as well. My district has become like brothers and sisters to me. We tease each other all the time, but also help each other out. It's way awesome. They become your family away from family. :)
I'm so grateful for this amazing opportunity. The Lord has already blessed me for being here. I know that I'm right where I need to be right now.
I know this church is true. I know that it was restored through Joseph Smith. I know that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God and that all the answers of life's greatest questions can be found within it's pages. I know that Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet of God, chosen to lead us in these latter days. I love this gospel and I love being a missionary!!!

First Update

Hello!
I am at the MTC everyone! I love it here and I love being a missionary. We've had some pretty amazing experiences, but also some humbling ones as well. I got to teach a real investigator a few days ago and she commited to read the Book of Mormon. Her name is Linda and please keep her in your prayers. But I've had some pretty interesting times in the Referral Center...or RC for short. Some people just like to argue our teachings. But it's all good. My compainion is Sister Savage and she is amazing! She is also going to the Macon, Georgia mission. We're getting pretty good at teaching together. She is from Arizona, so this Utah cold is pretty hard on her. But we are having fun. I hope you are all well! I've seen my little brother a few times and he is doing good too.

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
