Week 9

Hey!!!
I am doing good. This week was really good. The best part was on Sunday! Sunday was the day we met Fran. This is what happened. We were in Sunday school and our ward mission leader pulled us out. We met this sweet little lady named Fran out in the hall way. She said that she was driving by and felt she should come in and the first person she saw was the second counselor. He is over missionary work in the stake. He looked down the hall, and there was our ward mission leader. (He had an impression to go out into the hall) He came and pulled us out of Sunday school to meet Fran. We all went into a room and had a really good lesson on the restoration. We have an appointment set up to meet with her on Wednesday! When we walked her out to her car she kept telling us that this was what she needed and what she has been looking for her whole life!!!
Tammy is doing good we are just trying to ease her in to the culture of our church. We are working on fellow-shipping. But it is always so hard when the members can't come with us.
Things are good! I am loving it! I love you all!
Love,
Sister Kailee Chidester

 From the looks of these pictures.. she is working hard but also playing lots! :)

Week 8

Hey!
I don't have much time to write today, because it is district p-day. We are going to play chair soccer as a district! I am pretty excited.
We are all still working on meeting up with Emmitt. His mother-in-law passed away and his wife doesn't want us over to teach right now. We are still working on it though.
This last week has been so great! We have six new investigators!!! They are just so amazing and ready to hear the gospel. One of our new investigators is Wendy. We are meeting with her tonight! There is so much more I wish I could tell you if I had time.
I am doing great! I love being a missionary.
Love,

Week 7

Hey,
Sorry I didn't have as much time last p-day as I thought I did:( so I hope y'all are doing well! So I have a story about last week. It was Friday and we decided to go see a less active (she is less active because she is in a rest home) she is 92 years old it was good to get to know her (sister Bone) she was happy to see us. We talked about all her family and about her life. we felt really good about this visit. The Spirit was so strong, she cried and even walked us to the entrance. Sister Mcfarlane and I both thought everything went how it was suppose to go and everything was good but the next morning we got a call from her. We asked her how she was and she said I'm not ok. I had a bad experience. I don't want you all to come or send any one else. We asked her what happened and she said that if we come back she will call the police and have us arrested hen she hung up. We were so baffled! We had no clue what happened but what we did know is it did not feel good. We felt like something horrible had happened. The sad thing about it is we can't do much about it but we can pray for her.

So last week we taught Tammy about the word of wisdom. (Tammy has a smoking habit) we asked her to bring her cigarettes. She said she only had one left so she brought it out along with her lighter. So as we explained to Tammy that we loved her and how the word of wisdom will bring blessing from The Lord Sister Mcfarlane ripped up her last cigarette. It was hard for Tammy, but we believe she can over come it. After this lesson with Tammy we pulled into a parking lot and we ran over her lighter.

So conference was really great! Guess what talk was my favorite? It was Presidents Uchtdorfs. It is so true! There is light and dark as members we sometimes are between the doorframe. We are in the light but a lot of the time we don't understand the extent of how much warmth we can receive from the light.

It is kind of crazy how much perspective we receive on a mission. I feel like I am standing on the out skits and I can see a lot more then I did before. I can see all of these hard trials that these investigators or even people on the streets go through and it's hard! I am so grateful for all of the great blessings I have! To be born in the church, to have that strong foundation of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Love
Sister Chidester

Week 6

Hey!
Conference was so great! I love all of the talks. My favorites were Elder Holland's, Elder Bednar's, and President Monson's talk. We were not able to meet with our investigator, Emitt, because his wife was not ready to have us over yet. We are hoping for next week though. Everything is going great! I am hoping to catch a frog soon. They are everywhere here. Love ya!
Love,
Sister Kailee Chidester

Week 5

Hey Everyone,
Sorry I have not been very good at letting y'all know how everything is going. So here it is.
I serve in the Newnan ward of the Fayetteville Georgia Stake. We have been teaching 6 investigators. One of them is Tammy. Tammy has really bad fibromyalgia which makes her whole body hurt and she pretty much lives in a shack because she has no income. So she doesn't have very good medical care and so she is in pain a lot of the time. She is a strong spirit, she is so willing and excited to learn! She is getting baptized on April 13th!
There is also the Panoni family we just started teaching. They are also prepared! They have already been to church twice. We hope to have a baptism next month.
Man, the youth here are amazing! All of them are as strong as rocks with their testimonies. I swear each of them have several friends they have been sharing the gospel with. It would not surprise me if we have more investigators to teach next week.
Other than the people the land is also very beautiful! Everywhere you go you see trees and swamps! There's actually a small swampy area outside my back door. So, the frogs sings us to sleep at night.
There are several trees full of blossoms everywhere! I will try to send some pictures soon. 
Well I hope y'all are doing good!
Love,
Sister Kailee Chidester
