Leaving the North
Well, I'm almost officially a Scottish, very Irish missionary. I'm actually leaving Derry! Who knew, right!?
Actually, the whole area is getting whitewashed. The sisters are getting taken out, and two elders will be replacing ours. It was a great shock to everyone! The other three are all going to Scotland, and I'm the oddball and am going to the Republic of Ireland! To a town called Tralee in the very south. CRAZY! I'm so excited. I'll be whitewashing in with Sister Elison. This will be here last transfer, so I'm killing her off! I'll have four of my companions leaving me and going home in six weeks.
Sister Wilkinson is going to be with Sister Wu! My second comp! I'm so excited for her! They're going to have so much fun :)
Shane was baptised yesterday! AHH you have no idea how happy we were, and how happy he was! The past couple of weeks have been a little difficult for him, and admittedly for us (another case of highs and lows--lots more highs though), but he's been telling us that he's happier than he's ever been :) He's absolutely amazing! So yeah, yesterday was the best day ever! There's no other joy that I've experienced yet that compares with the joy you feel when you experience and see someone love and accept and grow from the Gospel. So beautiful. He'll be getting confirmed this next Sunday. I'm a bit sad that I'm missing it.
Yesterday was also a bit tearful. It was crazy with all of us leaving. Lots of pics and hugs and cries :) It's actually strange to be leaving Derry.
I love this work! I feel like it's changed me. There's nothing I'd rather do right now. :)
I love you all! Do some good! And have fun!
