21 Years Old, 21 Months Out

Hey y'all!! This week was nothing special, but this coming week sure is! Tomorrow, I turn 21 years old, and then 4 days later I would have been out for 21 months. It feels like just yesterday I celebrated my 18th birthday at home. They weren't joking when they said every year gets faster! Anyway, I'm blessed to be able to see another year, and this one was the best yet. So thanks in advance for the birthday wishes and the ones I've already received but haven't replied! It means a lot. Here's a few updates from the week:

• I forgot to mention that transfers happened last week, and obviously Elder Meldrum and I stayed together. The catch is, we picked up another 2 stakes (East and Kays Creek) so now we cover 4 stakes, and 28 wards. I'm also the district leader again.... So yay me.
• We had stake conference in the East stake, and the area seventy visiting called up my companion and I to speak. I've never spoke in a stake conference before, let alone on the spot, so that was fun. He asked Elder Meldrum and I to speak on different things. I spoke on how my testimony of the Savior has grown the last 21 months, and the conversion story of the Blundell family! So that was fun.
• Ariana is doing super well and should still be getting baptized on the 22nd!!
• We had a lesson with Timothy and Coraima, and it was one of the best lessons I've ever had. They loved it all and soaked it all in. They want to get baptized!! They're not on date yet, but hopefully this week they will be.
• We probably attended close to 6 ward Christmas parties this week, with tons more to come. If I will ever gain weight again, I think now is the time!

That's really all I have this week. Thank you all for the continued love and support! Have a fantastic week!!

P. S. I realized I took 0 photos this week, so enjoy me looking depressed.

Love,
