Week 16

This week! 

Monday- We did our normal errands, and went and made fudge at a members. Best fudge ever!! I talked to my mission president, he is awesome! We had dinner at the Dows and had FHE at the Krugers. We all went around and shared our favorite scriptures and that is one of my favorite things to do!

Tuesday- Met with some less-actives and part member families. Also finally saw a recent convert John Taylor! We have been trying to see him for months. and sadly he is not doing too well and not interested in church at the time. So that was a bummer. But at least we finally saw him. We taught Krystal and her family the Restoration. They talked about church and how much they loved it! Super cool, Krystal said how she noticed a difference in the church. It was peaceful and she really liked it. Also that she has noticed a difference in her kids already. So cool. They are all praying for a baptismal date! YAY. Taught Wiliam a Recent Convert. He is so awesome. and that was the excitements for the day.

Wednesday- Rex and Adam, our Wednesday usual haha. Went and contacted a lot of part family members on our ward directory that we don't know and it now counts as finding time. So that was successful to at least see if they still lived there or not. Also for New Years Eve we went to the Gillets and played the best game ever, CATCH PHRASE! Soo fun. My team was awesome so we won of course haha. But that was fun. We still had to be home by 9:30 so we left and went home and just went to bed. But we set the alarm for 11:59 to get up and take a picture like "this is our New Years Eve" and it went off and I said Sister Lundberg it's 12:00.. and she said okay should we take the picture? and I said it's okay.. and we went right back to bed haha. Too tired. 

Thursday- Planned in the morning which was needed! Saw Paul and Melissa which was good, and Frank. Went and saw some more Less actives and ended with Ramiro! Started our fast. :)

Friday- Fasted all day. longest time I have fasted. a full 24 hrs! But guess what? strengthened my testimony in fasting because holy cow, I was hardly hungry all day and I didn't get a headache. It was really cool. We also studied fasting and we both learned a lot. We had district meeting and that was great as usual. I got a blessing from my district leader as well. We had a lesson with Rafael which was awesome! We haven't been able to meet with him in a while so it was good to see him. We also met with Nicole! Taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I think it was good. We have return appointments with them so hopefully they will keep them and they will continue to progress because they are awesome people! Ended with a DQ run to eat at home, broke our fast and ate a blizzard. How fitting ha. 

Saturday- Called my mission president and he talked with me. He is soo great and I just love him! I am blessed with a great mission president. We went to candler and went to see some more random less actives. We have just been going through our directory and seeing people who live around some of our appointments, and try to see them. Taught Krystal and her family the Plan of Salvation. The kids had learned that in primary last week so they knew a lot. They all loved it and are excited for church tomorrow. Also... They ALL are preparing for baptism on January 31st! Soo happy. They are great. Went and saw a less active family, the Maner's who I have heard a lot about but haven't met, so it was great to see them. They are a cute family and it was great meeting with them. 

Sunday- Went to a Baptist church before our church. Such a fun experience ha. They had some singers and drums and people were standing up saying amen and hallelujah. It was great! But it was also a testimony builder because as much fun as it was to be there, it did not feel like church, Sister Lundberg and I both noticed we didn't feel the spirit and it was different. Krystals family didn't make it to church :( The youngest was sick.. I bore my testimony which was good. I have gotten a lot more brave about doing that haha. Had to teach the 17 and 18 year olds haha.. We all went around and shared out favorite scriptures and why and got to know all of them. They are great! I sat and listened to the Young Womens class. I just love being in there haha. It is always a great lesson. The rest of the day was not too exciting. We did go to the Hargadons and had dinner. They are a great family. I LOVE them. We also made some breakfast burritos. We went to see some MORE less actives.

This was a week full of seeing less actives because people were not wanting to see us haha. But it was good to see them and do some detective work to see if people still lived places.

Love you all more than you know, your support and prayers.
Sister Farmer

Only picture this week is a cute boy Julius! His mom is Nicole who we have been teaching. He asked to take the picture and is just darling.

Week 15!!

Well it is Christmas on Thursday! :) I hope you guys all have fun, but remember the real meaning of Christmas :)

Monday-Got my hair done, a cute lady in our ward wanted to for Christmas! Got our car washed, cleaned and got some things done. Went to dinner at the Hargadons who I absolutely love! They are so great. Then we had FHE at the Curridens. Fun, productive day!

Tuesday- Met with Kathy and Kiel, watched a Mormon message and just talked with them. They are leaving to Texas for Christmas so they will be missed. Met with Ron, interesting lesson because he is so smart he looks at the bible as a fable story?  Idk how to explain him. He is very nice, but hard to teach that is for sure. Saw Paul and Melissa. They are awesome!! I love them. Talked about the Book of Mormon which is always good. He still isn't so sure about it. We went caroling/tracting for about 1 and 1/2 hrs. We would sing silent night and then after they were happy with that we would share a He is The Gift card and talk with them. It was fun. Ended with my favorites, Connor and Savannah. They are doing soo good it makes me happy. 

Wednesday- Zone Conference!!! We had training's for about 3 hrs which were awesome. The Assistants gave one, and then President who I love to hear speak because he is so in tune with the spirit and just awesome. We had skits.. Ours was not super funny but kind of? They video it and all of them and I think we are going to get it on a video, hopefully. It was the 12 days of Christmas missionary style. We played dodge ball which was fun and then watched.. FROZENNN. So good to watch it and sing haha. We then had exchanges, I stayed and Sister Lundberg left. Sister Bohannon stayed with me. We did tracting across the street and it was awesome. We had like 3 return appts. and 3 potentials. We had delicious dinner at a members house, the Malaskys. Then we went and had an appointment with Ramiro. He is so awesome! such a solid, kind guy. We also are over on miles and needed a park day, so we were able to do that today, where we didn't use our car. It was great.

Thursday- Had a not too successful day, met with Rex and Adam, went to Candler with the sweetest lady ever in our ward, Sister Nelson. She drove us to contact some referrals and none of them were home. But it is okay because it was still fun. We went to contact some potentials and they weren't home.. had dinner at the Hood's. Super fun family. Pretty wild kids but fun haha. Drove to Waynesville to get Sister Lundberg back :)

Friday- Weekly planning. Nothing crazy. Met with Ryan and Sarah! I love them! We taught the Plan of Salvation and it seemed to go well. We asked them to come to church, they are both open, but he is the youth minister soo not as likely. It will be something we are working towards :) Taught with David Baxter and he is now dropped. He said he may stop in at church sometime but he just wasn't open sadly. Also lost another investigator who said no thanks.. Had dinner at the colliers, sweetest old peeps ever. Then went to Candler and. MIRACLES. We went to meet a potential family, Krystal, she was happy to see us and her daughter and we are going back and teaching them Tuesday! So happy. Then went to see another potential investigator and her husband answers the door, who I hadn't met last time, turns out he read the Book of Mormon 16 years ago and was reading it, because we left her with one and are meeting with them Tuesday too!!! Soo cool. Some other cool things with people happened as well.

Saturday- Jammed packed day! Hopefully 6 appointments and.... we had one of them turn out :) Such a great day ha.. Mission life.. So we did lots of finding, hoping to find people. We found a girl that had mormon cousins, she was cute. Also another person who had read the book of mormon which was cool. Another one who had been to temple square. It is cool when those things happen. But yea pretty bummed about all those appointments.. But Amanda was the one appointment that stayed! She was one we met on Wednesday and were hoping to have a return appointment. Anyway she was way sweet and said she would come to church! YAY

Sunday-So she didn't come to church.. SOO bummed. We had no Investigators at church.. A lot were out of town for the Holidays but still. We had an alright day, nothing too crazy. But we had dinner at the Hedgecocks, 8 little kids, and it is my FAVORITE going there because it reminds me of my fam when we were little. We went Caroling around there neighborhood and passed He it The Gift cards out, so cute. They are great.

I am soo grateful to be able to have this time to focus on the true meaning of Christmas. It is for sure hard being away from home this time of year, but with such awesome members it makes it much better. I love the gospel, and am so grateful for the knowledge I have that Jesus Christ gave us all the ultimate gift, the Atonement. It is hard, but also the best thing, being able to be out here spreading that knowledge to others. I love you all and hope you have a fantastic Christmas. 

Love, Sister Farmer

So again.. That 2 minute video is still up if you all want to see it :) It is on christmas.mormon.org. It is so awesome! Share it on fb so everyone can see it. 

Monday- We emailed, then we ran errands and we were at the SAB most of the day just hanging out with other elders playing games and stuff. It was great. We went to dinner at the Ostlers and their little 5 year old got sick, so sad! But we headed out and went to the Gomes for FHE. It was just on family history and I realized I need to learn a lot more family history haha. I am slacking! Anyway it was great, and there was some yummy soup! I had just eaten so I was quite full but I have gotten use to just eating anyway :)

Tuesday- Half mission conference! We went to Johnson City, Tennessee and it was an awesome day! Elder Renlund and his wife from the Seventy was there, as well as President and Sister Griffin. The trainings they give were amazing! I learned so much and it was awesome getting to learn from them. So fun! I also got a picture by the NC sign so I was happy haha :) So that was way cool. Had dinner at the Workmans who are just hilarious!!!

Rest of the week:
Lots of crazy appointments, some regulars. Met with Ryan, Rex and Adam, Lori,

Met with a new investigator Ron, who is almost Atheist? It is cool/hard teaching him. He still wants to meet with us so that is awesome. Josh and Mary we have met with before.. We are dropping them.. He was trying to convert us. I lovee them but yea he was telling us to pray about the bible and he had seen some anti material online because he was saying some random things that did not matter. Also met with a cute couple, Ryan and Sarah. I love them already! He works at the Church of Christ but they are just wanting to learn about what we believe but they really liked what we were teaching so I am looking forward to future with them! 

Met some Less-Actives Bart and Eve who are AWESOME! He was a speed skater and broke an american record! So cool. They are awesome and we are excited about them.

A very crazy thing happened this weekend and I wish I could go into all the details, but basically someone put a guys address and name down, but there number, and when we called they acted like him. We went to visit him the time we had set up and he had no idea who we were. So dumb someone did that. But oh well!

Friday we were Hosts for a nativity event, there were over 130 different nativities and from about 50 different countries. It was soo cool and I absolutely loved it!

Sunday- Kathy, Kiel, and Dan came to church :) LOVE them! 

Anyway kind of a sporadic email, sorry. Love you all so much!!! Enjoy this Christmas season!! :) I miss you all so much!

Week 13!

Everyone, if you haven't, still go and watch the video about Christ being the real gift for Christmas and share it with everyone. :) go to christmas.mormon.org

NEW COMPANION: We sat by each other on the bus ride up and were both so nervous to know who our companions were going to be.. then ends up.. WE are companions haha.

Monday: WENT to the BILTMORE Estate and went it. It was Christmas at the Biltmore as well so there were HUGE trees inside and it was amazing. Biggest house in America. It was such a cool place. Sister Ison wanted to go before she left so she took us. She is awesome. we then had delicious ice cream that was made there. so good. went to the SAB (Stake Assembly Building) building and hung out as a zone for the last time :( Then all parted ways! We had dinner at the Tuckers who make delicious food always. SOO good. FHE was at the Nelsons and sadly no one came.. So we had the lesson and then left. Did some calling/finding.

Tuesday: Last day with Sister Ison. We had a packed schedule! Taught Kathy, Kiel, and Dan the Restoration. Dan is Kathy's husband and soo excited he was able to be at the lesson. It was great to teach them all. Taught Fran, she is still doing good. It was really just a packed day but a successful day. :) Getting so sad and nervous for Sister Ison to leave.

Wednesday, up at 4:30 in the morning!!! Drove to Knoxville in the huge van we always drive, Transfers were fun. I saw tons of people from the MTC, including one of my roommates so I was so excited. I was soo nervous the whole meeting and then they finally called who my companion was going to be and it was Sister Lundberg. She is great. She has been out a transfer longer than me and I just already love her. We are going to be great companions :) Sad bye to Sister Ison that is for sure, glad I am finally done saying bye to companions for a while. That was not fun! Drove home and got home way later than planned because of traffic.

Thursday- Had breakfast at Savannah and Connors, they wanted to meet the new comp. :) Met with Fran which was good. She loves the church and what she is learning, may take a little bit but she is still awesome. The highlight of today was the lesson at night with Josh and Mary, second appointment and he was a bit bible bashing. It was a little rough but then they are both so nice too? So we are going to give it another chance for sure. He loves the beliefs and values we have just not so into the works more than faith. But he is just a little confused.

Friday- District meeting which was awesome, our appointments cancelled so we did finding and happened to go try a refferal and right when we did a potential investigator had walked out of his door so we went and talked with him and he set up a return appointment which was really cool! He is very nice and we are looking forward to meeting with him, Ron. The Christmas party for the ward was tonight. I wish I could have video the whole thing, it was awesome!!! Such amazing talent and they all had such great voices. I really can't explain it all but it was amazing. So the Asheville ward is just awesome.

Saturday, everyone cancelled :) Best days.. ha! So we did lots of finding. Also our car needed the oil changed so we had to take it in and walk around the mall area to see if we could talk to anyone. I didn't enjoy being around there too much so after about an hour we left. We went to another area and were going to contact a potential and she wasn't home. We started going somewhere else and she showed up! So we taught her and she is very nice. We are excited about her. We went and moved an Investigator who just moved into our area and moved for 2 and a half hours. It was actually hard and reminded me of moving in June so I was glad to be done with that haha. But glad to serve someone as well :)

Sunday- No investigators at church. I was very sad. But people have their agency I guess. Anyway the day was pretty good. Not much happened except we went to contact a less-active, and she wasn't there and we were about to leave, then Sis. Lundberg said lets go back and knock on someone elses. So we did and they ended up being very nice, let us in, and we might meet up with them again. Dinner at such a cute families house for dinner. Watched the Christmas Devotional which was great!

So I can't believe this was all this week, seems like forever ago. Things are going good though and I love my new companion. I am excited for this transfer. I hope all of you are doing great at home. I love you all!!!

Love, Sister Farmer

Pictures are all on my other companions camera so this is all you guys can see ha. Not the best picture but oh well.

Had FHE at the Taylors and it was on Gratitude. Fran came which was awesome and Lisa and Ryan. Good lesson and great day. 

Tuesday- Taught Fran :) She loved church and we are very excited about the future with her! She is great. No baptismal date yet.. But hopefully soon. Had lunch at 12 bones with Sis. Gardner. Taught Lisa and Leah about the Restoration to make sure Lisa really understands the Priesthood Authority. Met with Janet and taught the Restoration. She seemed to love it because she hadn't heard of it ever. Set up a return appointment so that is awesome. Met with Ryan :) What a crack up he is hahah. Talked about life on earth and he always has good questions. Met with Nicole and she wasn't there :( So the member took us to get ice cream instead ha.

Wednesday- Rex and Adam's lesson went great, they are do great! Kathy and Kiel are awesome and we had a really good lesson with them! They had some questions about the Priesthood. Sadly Dan wasn't there but hopefully soon. Taught Jeff and he was a little sad and not motivated so it was a pump up lesson. Had a lesson with Javier. POWERFUL! We taught the Restoration and I recited the First vision, very spiritual experience and testimony builder to me of the restored gospel. It was awesome. 

Thursday- Thanksgiving :) Let's just say I have never eaten so much in my life. We went to 5 families and had food at 4! Pecan Cheescake, Pecan and Pumpkin pie. Turkey. Rolls. Mashed potatoes. It was very good and filling. I thought I was going to die haha. But it was good being with fun big families and learning and seeing all of there traditions. It was awesome. I am so thankful to have such wonderful people here in Asheville to love me and take care of me.

Friday- Sad but good day! It was our last district meeting and man do I love my district! :( I am so sad things will be changing but excited at the same time. They are all great! We met with a Recent Convert who is doing great and always asks awesome questions, Wiliam. Met for the last time with Lisa because she is moving. I was so sad to say bye but I know the missionaries will be great with her over there. Met with Mary Ellen and she asked tons of questions about Temples and everything that happens in there. Sister Ison said that I answered the questions very simply, and powerfully and did awesome so that was good to hear :) Helped another Recent Convert put up her Christmas tree and had a lesson. Listened to music and it was just so great to be in the Christmas cheer.

Saturday- Rough day. We had the whole day planned. Every lesson cancelled!!! We did like 3 hours of finding. found lots of good potentials. So I learned yet again, that Heavenly Father knows where and when we need to be somewhere and that it will not always go as we planned :)

Sunday- I had to give a short talk/testimony. Sister Ison said I did well and it was a huge change from my first time giving my testimony until now. I felt like it was pretty good so I am happy to see that I am chaning. Also I had hardly anything written down and I always write like the whole talk out so that was cool. All of our appointment cancelled and we went on a road trip.. Not really but we went to see a referral and man it took us out to the boonies! We got lost and it was crazy. We ended the night with Connor and Savannah. My favorites :) I love them! They are awesome haha.

It was a great week. I am noticing as I reflect all the things that change with out me noticing and how grateful I am that I am on a mission teaching others. It is amazing. Thanks for the letters and support as always.

Love you all!!!
Sister Farmer

Week 11--- FLEW BY (Nov 24, 2014)

This was a super fast, great week. The days are dwindling of me being a trainee and I am nervous to no longer have that as an excuse haha :) no I am excited for this new change!

Monday- Our computers were down at the church so we had to go to do it at the Library. We did shopping, got somethings done around the apartment, and then went to the SAB. It's just the Stake Assembly Building where a lot of the missionaries meet. We played this fun soccer game, but a different type and it is just fun getting to see all of them. Came home and at dinner at home. Then headed to the Curridens for FHE. We did like 15 min of tracting before and met this super nice lady named Carrie. She works for the News station so was busy but said she would love to have us over again. She was very welcoming and we are excited about her.

Tuesday- Met with a less-active and we actually got something out of him so we know where to head with him. Met with some Investigators (I), Paul and Melissa who are soo awesome. We always just discuss what he is reading in the B of M and his questions. He asks questions I don't even think of so it gets me thinking. Met with FRAN who had a surprise for us.. SHE got work off and is coming to church! YAY. Dinner at the Andersons who are one of my favorites. They are awesome and soo fun. 4 crazy little boys. Met with an (I) Javier and the lesson went great. We taught the Restoration and he seemed very interested and was very in tune with the spirit. 

Wednesday- Met with Kathy and Kiel some (I) and the lesson was great. We shared a Mormon Message and they loved it. They are waiting for her husband to come home to see if he is interested in the church and if not they basically said they still would! The house the husband has been working on sold so he should be coming home soon! Had lunch at Rockys ( a yummy fried chicken place) with Frank. He is sooo nice and always takes us out to eat. Had a lesson with him and he is just great. Met with Jeff and taught the Law of Chastity.. My first time teaching it and it was a little rough but it is okay hah. Lesson with Mary Ellen (I) and it was the Restoration. She asked lots of questions which is good.

Thursday- Weekly planning and then were supposedly having lunch with a less active and Sister Hobson, a member. Well apparently lunch wasn't part of it so we just had a lesson with a less active. She is a very unique personality haha. Met with Lori a less active and the lesson was on Joseph Smith. It was great! Met with Lisa and Leah and they are moving.. Lisa is an (I) so we may have to switch her over to someone else.. All the same though where ever they go ha. Annarummas, the family we have been teaching, DROPPED us out of the blue. We are still seeing what happened there because they are so great and don't know what happened. Had a Relief Society Christmas party and it was soo fun. FRAN came to that and just loved it. We had dinner, 2 short talks, a cute song, and then everyone brought cookies and at the end you went and grabbed 12 cookies and put it on the plate. the plate had a cute poem on it saying "Bake it forward." really cute idea. It was so fun. Went to meet some potentials from a Refferal and they were great!  Cute young couple and he LOVES Glen Beck so he heard about the B of M. It was an awesome lesson and they were so nice.

Friday- District meeting is always fun. It was on tracting and how to talk with people, because I get awkward lots of times haha. Still working on that. Anyway lots of our appt. cancelled but we were able to tract and find some people. Met with Jeff and it was a very spiritual lesson and a lot of progress was made.

Saturday- Met with JACKSON. a media refferal, so it comes up on our phone. He is a 20 year old guy and goes to college during the week and comes home on the weekends. It was the coolest lesson I have had on my mission so far. He is so nice and wants to find the truth so bad. He has already talked to missionaries online and wanted a B of M. We taught the restoration and he said he already believes Joseph Smith was a prophet. Can you say GOLDEN investigator. Anyways the spirit was soo strong and was just such a cool experience. He already accepted a baptismal date! Anyway he was the highlight of the day.. We did some tracting and walked up to these 2 guys and say were missionaries for the Church of... He was like no way I am too! I am looking for 2 more wives. I was like you have got to be kidding me in my head ha. Anyway they were pretty rude/just trying to be funny. Anyway no luck there. Another lady we went to knock on and she yells through her house "No trespassing." So we start walking away and she turns her car alarm on! GEEZ people. So that was great haha. We meet with Jeff again and it was a great lesson. He is progressing very well and has a baptismal date too. Met with one of my favorites, Lori :) She is a Recent Convert and is a crack up. She is the first lesson I had on my mission so I think she will always be a favorite. 

Sunday- Church was good, Jeff, Fran, Kathy and Kiel, and Kathy's HUSBAND Dan came!!! So exciting. So it was great seeing all of them. Found out our Relief Society president has been moved to a different ward :( Rain hard all day. Met with a Recent Convert and had dinner at a members. Went to bed right when I got home because I did NOT feel good.

It was a super good week and we have some exciting people to teach. Thanks for all the letters, support, emails, and prayers! It means a lot. I love you all and hope you have a great THANKSGIVING.

Love,

Sister Farmer

Week 10? (Nov 17, 2014)

This was an awesome week, with lots of success!! 

Monday, the rest of the day we shopped and cleaned the apartment, nothing too exciting! Then we had Exchanges where you switch with another companionship. I left and went to Waynesville with a Sister Training leader, Sister Goates. She is awesome. We drove there, had dinner hour, I had grilled cheese and tomato soup, it was delicious! Then we just got talking and she helped me figure some things out and we did daily planning for tomorrow!

Tuesday,Waynesville! It was good! Nice because it wasn't my area so I just went to the appointments and did my best! We had like 5 appts. with Investigators and Sister Goates said I was awesome at teaching and using my scriptures so that was uplifting :) We went to dinner at a Japanese restaurant and then we had dinner at a different restaurant and I had chicken strips. Basically I am having too many people take me out haha. It is awesome! :) But I am gaining! Anyway so the day was filled and successful! It was awesome teaching because I didn't know the people and my goal was to teach by the spirit this exchange, and Sister Goates said I asked some really inspired questions. 

Wednesday, we had our studies and training and talked with Sister Goates again with anything she can help me with, she gave me some awesome talks that I think can help me! Back to Asheville! Taught Jeff and it was on the Word of Wisdom! He is going to work on that and it was an awesome lesson!! Dinner at my favorite Restaurant I think, Tupelo Honey, it is so good! Sister Gomes took us and it was way good! We taught with a recent convert and some PFT time and ended with Connor and Savannah! They came out on Team-ups with us and we saw them like every day! Awesome member misisonaries :)

Thursday we taught Fran, also during exchanges apparently all of our lessons went awesome so that is exciting! Anyway Fran is doing great and her biggest hurdle is getting to church because she is a nurse, but she is progressing very well! Had dinner at the Colliers (they had 10 kids too and are elderly so I see family pics and can see how our family will look haha, it is crazy). Also taught Bobby Cox and his wife the talkers :) They are awesome and doing good.

Friday- District meeting, which is always the best because you get to see people! It was fun to see everyone. We had subway for lunch and had some awesome trainings!! Also I got a blessing from Elder Castleberry, the Zone leader and it was awesome!!!

Taught the Annarummas who are doing well, one lesson was with all 4 kids and the mom which was good, and the second one was just Stacy and her one daughter. They are still doing well.

Saturday was awesome! Very busy but great lessons, we got a new investigator Raphael who is awesome and I am very excited about teaching him!!! Also Lisa, one of our investigators, is praying for a baptismal date! YAY. 

Sunday! Primary program at church! It was awesome!! I loved it!!! The kids were darling and Jeff and Raphael were there so that was awesome! It was a good Sunday and we had dinner at Lisa and Ryans, the recent converts. 

Awesome week of success I wish I could explain it all. Love you all so much and thank you for all the support! You guys are awesome!! 

Love,

Sister Farmer
