Ok, so I'm excited for this coming transfer! Sister Tanner goes
home in just like 2 days and tomorrow at transfer meeting I'll be
getting a new companion - Sister Loy! She is from Cambodia, and was
called to speak Cambodian in the WA-TAC and this is her first time
leaving Tacoma to speak something other than Cambodian. So, this will be
exciting and maybe I will even learn a lil bit :) She's super sweet and
cute. I'm excited.
Also, I discovered this week that my
camelback water bottle I've been drinking out of forever was growing
mold in the little spout for who knows how long. So we texted out
missionary-medical sister lady and she said my stomach acid should've
been killing any spores I've been ingesting. So I mean, I'm alive.
Apparently. (Mold grows in and on absolutely everything here, if you
didn't know that previously.)
SO, we had a miracle baptism
this week! :) Kelly Walker got baptized on Saturday and he is so
amazing. His wife told us he didn't sleep the night before, he kept
rolling over and poking her saying, "hey... I'm excited." haha! He has
been so prepared and has changed SO much, and it was so cool to see him
finally make that big step of baptism! It was such a great service, AND
his nonmember son Cody was at his lesson on Wednesday and came to the
baptism! He snuck out before we could talk to him but we'll be seeing
him again I'm sure :) He has seen a huge change in his dad and told them
"you know, you feel kind of good when you go to church." Why yes, yes
you do.
Ryan also came to the baptism!! That was so great -
his parents are super opposed to the church and he has been kind of
afraid to talk to them about being baptism, but after Kelly's baptism he
told me "This was so awesome, I'm going to talk to them today!" When we
talked to him at church yesterday, they didn't take it as well as we'd
hoped, but he had a really cool experience of personal revelation at
church and he will be baptized someday :)
We got to watch the
General Women's Meeting on Saturday night which was SO good, I didn't
want it to end! I had a lot of answers that night :) I encourage
everybody to watch it again!! I am SO excited for General Conference
this weekend!!!
I love this work more than anything in the
world. I hope to waste and wear out my life in the service of my God.
There is no where else I would rather be right now than right here
sharing the gospel with the people here in Olympia! We got to pop by
Avery Neeley's farewell-open house party thing last night and his
mom sikked us on his nonmember friends ;) it was pretty fun. I LOVE
being a missionary and I can't believe that this transfer marks my
halfway point.. It goes WAY too fast. I love you all so much and hope
you have the greatest week!!
All my love from the overcast skies of Washington,
Sister Wilson
