HAPPY THANKSGIVING

ALSO I will be celebrating my year mark on wednesday. Yes, 1 year ago I started this great journey!! 

Hermana Adams and Hermana W

So! Thursday! We gave out thank you notes, then went to a members house for Thanksgiving lunch. Then we left there, and had thanksgiving dinner at someone elses' house. Food food food. We then drove back to Birmingham and stayed the night with some sisters there, and in the morning we had Spanish Conference!! It was great. I was reunited with my mom, Hermana W :) the conference just super inspired me to be a spanish missionary whereever I was. We drove back to Corinth that afternoon.

On Saturday we ate at someones house and chased one of their sheep for them. They needed the tags off.

Next week we go to the temple!! So I'll be emailing all of you lovely people on Tuesday instead of Monday. 

I LOVE YOU ALL (Y'ALL)

Maintaining Companion Unity- (Not just for missionaries)

Happy Birthday Hermana Adams!

Thank you all for the Birthday wishes! It was a great day. We had exchanges in Tupelo, so naturally we went to Olive Garden to celebrate :) We had Zone Conference on Tuesday, and Stake Conference this last weekend, so we spent the majority of our time in Tupelo. We had some really great trainings at zone conference, and I wanted to share what I wrote down from one!

This is 7 ways of maintaining Companionship Unity 

(Not just for missionaries!!! ;)

1. Pray (together, apart, for each other, etc.)

2. Compliment your companion (ESPECIALLY if they're feeling down)

3. Serve Companion (Faith without works is dead)

4. Obedience (Mission rules, commandments, etc.)

5. Loyalty (Don't speak ill of them in their absence!)

6. Communicate

7. Work Hard and Have Fun! (Proverbs 17:22)

I know that all these things are so important in pretty much any relationship! I also know that it's really hard for us to be comforted by the spirit if we're already comfortable. When we work hard to serve others and share the gospel we will be blessed. I know because I have seen it!! I love being a missionary in this mission.

Have a good week!!

Another week in Tennessissippi

Nothing happened worthy of reporting this week. We had district meeting an they wanted to have it in Corinth so everyone could go to Tennessee (We live in Tennessee. *flips hair*) so that's why we took pictures. 

Christmas is really far away but we went to Dirt Cheap and got a smallish tree for a good price. And we already decorated our whole apartment. There's something magical about having christmas lights in every room

. 

It's getting colder, and I'm so grateful that summer is definitely over. Some mornings we can see our breath!! It's a miracle!

Sorry for the super lame email, hopefully these pictures make up for it. Have an awesome week :)

The Field is White in Mississippi

Hermana Adams, Sister S and Sister B

So I got transferred! I am serving in the Corinth Ward in Mississippi. It is the largest area in the Alabama Birmingham Mission, and they've got a trio to cover it.  We drive a 2017 Toyota Rav4. It's the newest car in the mission. It's pretty neat :) we rotate drivers. We are the only missionaries in Corinth Ward.

So this is how transfer meetings went. President called our name, we stood up, he told us our companion, we made eye contact, and sat back down. Here is how MY transfer news went: "Sister Adams..... your companions aren't here. So I'm not telling you. Just kidding. You are going to serve with Sister B and Sister S in the Corinth area." and I sat back down. So the next couple of hours was me trying to fit my stuff into other peoples cars that were possibly going to Mississippi as well. So I put my stuff in one car and myself in another car and they eventually got me to Selmer (TN).

It has been such a busy last few days. The first few days of a new area always go by in a blur and I can't remember who is who, but I'm grateful that I'll be here for at least 6 weeks to get to know them. The last time I was in a trio was the CCM and it's really cool to see how different these experiences are. 

I love this area and I'm so excited to work here. There was a cotton field across from a dinner appointment we had and I had to take a picture in it :) I know that the field here is SO white and I'm so excited to harvest!! Everyone here just has a huge love for Jesus and God, it is amazing to see. 

Have an awesome week!!
