This week was so good. I just can't even express to you how
my heart feels. Let me tell you 4 simple reasons why I can't stop smiling and
my heart is fluttering!
1. I was able to spend three glorious and hilarious months
in beautiful Bathurst. I learned so much from the people there and I was able
to develop such a different attitude and desire to love and to serve. I'm so
grateful for the people there that helped me to do that.
2. I was able to see my sweet Sister Swan! I had to go to
Sydney for a conference and she rocked up to the office right when I was about
to leave. It was so good to see her and to hug her. She is doing miracles over
in Sydney! She is so strong and such a good example to me. I think she's the
companion that has taught me about ministering to the one when I was with her
and I'm so grateful for that because the Lord's work runs on love, not on
numbers.
3. Transfer calls were on Saturday and I was so sad when I
heard I was leaving Bathurst. But then President Back called me on Sunday and
told me he was sending me to a place called... WOLLONGONG! I screamed, cried,
leaped, skipped, twirled, and hyperventilated a bit. I get to spend the last
month of my mission in my beloved Wollongong. I can't even express how good it
felt to hug Katrina and have her say, "Welcome Home." It feels so
good to be back. I haven't stopped smiling since! AND I have the cutest
companion. Her name is Sister Tim, she makes me look like a giant! She is from
Cambodia and I'm so excited to learn from her.
4. I got a special email! 10 March, 2015 I met my first
investigator, Aaron! And then on the 17 May, 2015 Aaron was baptized! And he's
been so good at keeping in touch with me and updating me on his life but I
haven't heard from him for a bit. And he emailed me today and bore his
testimony to me via email, and my heart is at so much peace. It's so good to
hear the testimony of someone you've taught. Just that email made the last 17
months more than worth it.
So yea, life is good, I'm on cloud 9, and I can't wait to
finish what I started down here in the Gong June - August 2015. Heavenly Father
is the BEST!
Love,
Sister Stott
