First update from the "field"

 I made it to South Carolina!! I've absolutely been loving being a missionary! The MTC was so fun and I learned so so much. I've made some amazing friends too! Four out of six of the sisters were going to South Carolina too! So I got to take them with me haha. From the MTC I learned how to teach to the needs of people and by the Spirit. I have gained so much confidence in my teaching from my amazing teachers in the MTC! 

I flew to SC on Wednesday. We had to take two flights with only a 30 min layover! We almost didn't make it to our connecting flight! But we were expecting miracles, and we made it! Another great miracle was that I didn't get sick on either of the two flights, like at all!! This has never ever happened in all the flights I have taken! God is so good! 
My first area is the Harlem/Grovetown area in Agusta Georgia! The trees are gorgeous and the sunsets are magnificent! It honestly doesn't feel like I'm across the country from yall :(
The accents have been so fun to listen too haha. Just gotta get used to it, I can mostly understand what they're saying haha. 
The best part of this week was hands down teaching some lessons. I got to teach some lessons on Saturday! And I could feel the Spirit so strongly throughout those and I was able to invite someone to be baptized and I gave someone a Book of Mormon!

More Miracles:
-We prayed about who to visit next and I felt prompted to go to this one members house (I don't even know people here yet) and we got talking with them, they invited us over for a dinner and the only day we didn't have a dinner planned was on that next Tuesday! So we'll get to have dinner with them! 
-Someone requested to visit with the missionaries months ago, her name is Kadizha. We were running late from a lesson, knocked on her door, her mom said she was
n't there but as we were turning back she was pulling into the driveway! She was so excited to see us, I gave her a book of Mormon and she was excited to read it!

Email me if you want to, I'd love to hear from all of you! Thank you for your prayers❤️
