First thing's first: TRANSFER NEWS!!!!! So sadly my time in Melton has come to an end after three transfers here and I will be moving on to the next adventure in my mission tomorrow. When I first got here I honestly never thought I would say this, but I think I might actually miss Melton. It really is crazy how Heavenly Father tries to prepare me for every transfer. Sometime in the last week or so I was reflecting on what I have accomplished/learned in Melton and the thought came to me that I had learned what I needed to learn here and it was time for me to move on to have new experiences. I ignored the prompting a bit, still thinking that there was a big chance I would stay one more transfer to finish training Sister Tuhod, but clearly that is not where I am meant to be right now. When we got the callout on Saturday night confirming that I was leaving Melton I got on my knees and prayed and asked Heavenly Father if this is really the right thing for me and if I really have accomplished all I needed to here in Melton. I felt the Spirit really clearly confirming my question, so I am really peaceful about this move and excited for the adventures that lie ahead of me.
Sister Tuhod and I did have a good week. The work here is really finally starting to pick back up again. We had to postpone Mary's baptism for a couple weeks to help her understand everything a little better, but we set a new date for her for February 21. I am hoping that my new area won't be too far so I can get permission to attend her baptism. We had a lesson with Graham, the blind man Sister Stoker and I found on exchanges. He already has the Book of Mormon on audio and he went to the Perth temple open house. We were hoping to set a solid baptism date next week when we see him again. We also saw Rick, another potential Sister Stoker and I found. We had a good lesson with him and discussed some of the Plan of Salvation, specifically life after death. We read Alma 40:11, which is a really good scripture about that. We also saw Kiana this week, a granddaughter of a less active member. Sister Lee and I had given her a Book of Mormon, so we explained more about that and gave her a chapter to read and pray about.
Yesterday at church the topic for the sacrament meeting talks was the Restoration. There was one speaker who recited Joseph Smith's first vision and bore his testimony of the prophet Joseph Smith. I love how much I am able to feel the Spirit every single time I hear those words. I know this church is true with all my heart!
Love yous heaps!
