Sister Mitzi Gates // Week Eighteen

What a crazy week. I don't even know where to begin!! Well Tuesday

night we got a call from President Andersen saying that Sister Cox

needs to be packed and ready in the morning because she was going

home. So we hurried and got all her stuff taken care of. I'm happy for

Sister Cox. Then I had to go to Franklin with Sister Vercillo and

Sister Johnson and we were just going to run both areas until the end

of the transfer. (Which is in 2 week) I love Franklin and I love the

Sisters I was serving with!! Then Saturday morning the assistants

called and said I need to pack up again because another set of Sisters

are going to Thompson Station, (my area) and I'll be with them until

the end of the transfer. So now I'm with Sister Hargadon, from

California and Sister Frampton, she grew up in Hawaii. Great sisters!

Yesterday in ward council bishop said he called president and he said

I'll be staying for another transfer! So that was exciting!! I'm not

sure what will happen with the other sisters, but I'll be staying. I

love being in a trio. It's a party! I've only been here for 3 weeks so

I don't know the area real well but the couple days we have been here

I have remembered where everything is!! Thanks to the Holy Ghost. Then

this morning I get a call from President and Sister Andersen saying

Grandpa Isom passed away. It's just one thing after another here! But

it made me stop and think about my testimony of the Atonement and Plan

of Salvation. I LOVE FOREVER FAMILIES. Heavenly Father couldn't of

given us a greater blessing. I like what Grandma Gates said, Grandpa

Gates is having a hard time keeping up with 6 missionaries so he just

needed some more help up there! I know they're staying busy on the

other side, I have had many experiences where it shows. This is one of

those things where it's so hard, but it makes you want to go share

what you know is true with everyone!! I love forever families. I hope

we're all living in a way where no matter what happens we'll be ready

to help on the other side when it's our time! I love being apart of

this great work.




Sister Gates:)





This is THEE Sister Bickmore. She went with me to the temple because I didn't have a companion. But she is awesome. It was a very spiritual experience with her!!



Dropping Sister Cox off at the mission office to go home... the first part of this crazy week!!



SO funny story. This is a non active family, the Green's, and they all play together in a band in their garage. Super talented! But they invited us over to listen, we were like sweet they play together as a family! So we went over and listened and it was all this scremo music and about demons and stuff! We felt so bad we called our district leader to repent. But good memories!!



This was with the first set of sisters I was with this week. Sister Johnson and Sister Vercillo!! They took me to this place called the Mellow Mushroom for my going away party! haha ahh crazy week.



At the Nashville, Tennessee Temple! LOVE IT!!!!! Wish we could go more!!
