Sister Maegan Bingham: December 28, 2014

Dearest Family and Friends,

It was a crazy week for us this week! We had a great Christmas though and ate heaps of food!

On Christmas Eve we had exchanges with the STL's. Sister Stoker and Sister Lee were in Melton for the day and the biggest miracle happened! They picked a street to tract together and at the very first door they knocked they met a girl named Tina who Sister Stoker met months ago when she was in Deer Park. She is keen as and we have an appointment with her for this week. Exchanges bring miracles!!!!!!!!!!

On Christmas day we had breakfast, lunch, and dinner all at member's homes. I'm pretty sure I went into a food coma the second I got home that night.

I got to skype my family and see them for the first time in six months. It was really fun and good to know that nothing's really changed at home haha!

This week we got a new investigator named Miranda. She has a few problems that she struggles with (depression, diabetes) but she told us that she really wants to get baptised so God can help her through her trials. She picked her batismal date for Valentine's day. It's great to see her faith!

We had the easiest less active member visit ever this week! We were going through the ward list and decided to see a member who's name we didn't recognize. When we stopped by the very first thing she said was "What time is church at? Ten o'clock still?" To which Sister Lee and I confirmed and she responded "Great! I'm coming this Sunday, it's about time I went back to church!" And she did!

I think the last news for this week is transfer news! So Sister Lee's time in Melton is coming to a close after a long six months for her. But I am staying AND President Maxwell asked me if I would train a new missionary this transfer!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still SO nervous, but I am also really excited to have my first daughter! Whoo hoo!

Happy New Year everyone and always remember that the Church is true!

Love ya heaps!
