 Once upon a time, as a little Nina in the mission... I discovered that once again... Heavenly Father knows what he's doing. JACKSON IS DA BEST!!!! So... let's talk about this for a second. I love my companion... I seriously am so happy. I have no idea why Heavenly Father is being so good to me, but I'm a-okay with it. We have a lady getting baptized on the 8th and she's LEGIT. I just love her so much, and a lady got confirmed this Sunday who is actually outside of our mission and ward boundaries but got special permission to stay in the ward... I haven't been here long enough to know why... But she's super cool! She was introduced to the church by her 18 year old son who got baptized.

So Jackson is the other border of the mission... apparently God likes me on edge... but it's cool. We're about an hour from Nashville, and an hour from Memphis. It has like 65,000ish people and is awesomely gorgeous. The leaves are starting to turn Royal Purple and Bright Red and all sorts of gorgeousness. :D I'm really happy about it. I seriously can't express how happy I am that I'm here! So, my companion... Sister Skinner, she's super legit and is like a twin of my twin Alyssa Weaver... so that's the best ever.... cause well, you'd just have to know lyssa or Sister Skinner. We get along really well, and have just enough in common that we get along really well but have a lot of differences to keep life from getting monotonous. She's a super good photographer #sister broach flashbacks. As well as super artsy and is from Orem... seriously Sister Broach again. She's super chill, and funny. She's good at telling stories and we have a lot of fun teaching and learning together.

 So... This week we met a lot of less actives as well as awesome members but... guess what? Sister Skinner totally had bronchitis... she didn't know it, till I heard her coughing and she told me what was going on and I said... Girl you need some meds for that. So this week was another sick week kinda... but still super awesome. This ward is like... the best. I'm already super good friends with the members I've met... so I'll be honest I hope I "die" as a missionary here. Sister skinner dies next transfer so if she stay's I'll be killing her as well as sister wilcox. I hope we're together for Christmas and New Years. :D But either way, like I said before... Heavenly Father knows what he's doing. I'm so excited to work further in this area and tell y'all all about it.

I pray for you, I hope for you, Have a blessed week and know that I love y'all.

Ttfn,

Sister Foster
