There is one thing on my mind.... And that of course is how
amazing the work is! Honestly, I just can't even put into words how I feel
about being a missionary. It is the best thing in the entire world!
This week was quite an
interesting one. We decided to not use our car two days, which created a lot of
moments where we were in a dead sprint running to the train and praying that
we'd make it (since trains around here only come once an hour) but you know
what, we made every train and every bus! It was nothing short of a miracle to
say the least.
I had my first and hopefully
final full on run in with a Jehovah's Witness. We were just walking through
town doing some street contacting and this lady just called us out and started
trying to throw all these Bible verses at us to disprove our doctrine. So we
just bore our testimonies and she kept going at us and wouldn't let us walk
away. So finally, I just mentioned a Bible verse back to her testifying of what
we had been testifying of and she was quiet... She didn't know we use the
Bible. hahaha. You know, I don't mind if people don't believe what we believe.
Some of the dearest friendships I've made on my mission are with people of
different faiths - Muslim, 7th Day Aventist, Catholic, you name it! It's just
sad when people start making harsh judgments and talk about things they really
don't have any knowledge about. After she paused for a minute, she told us we
could leave. So we gave her a hug and headed on our way. Definitely an
experience for the books!
M is doing well. He's keeping all of
his commitments and has changed so much! I am so proud of him and every day
when we talk to him, I can literally hear him changing! It is the best. We just
want to make sure he's 110% ready for baptism though, so we might push back the
date if we feel prompted. Keep praying for him though. He's so great!
Well, it's August in Australia
now. I changed my calendar from July to August this morning I can't even
describe how weird it felt. How can I be so depressed, anxious, excited,
relieved, and confused at the same time? Going on a mission is the best
decision I have ever made. I can't believe how much love my Heavenly Father has
for me for allowing me these last 18 months. The end is near, but it's not here
yet! I still have a week to work hard and pray harder! I'm not giving up the
good fight until I'm in the airport terminal hugging my mum and dad. So let us
not be weary in well doing! There is so much to do! The time is far spent, but
there is still some remaining! So I've got to use it the best I can.
Love,
Sister Danielle Laree Stott
The picture is not the cutest, but this is what it looks like
when you dead sprint for the train multiple times in a day. haha
