Hello Everyone -
Transfer calls are coming up this Friday! It's probably my
last week with Elder Matua, which is a fat bummer. I've loved serving with him
tons!!! I'm pretty sure I'm staying here for the rest of my mission and getting
my 3rd greenie, but we'll see. I'll let you guys know!
Really quick. Two words to describe this week: Exchanges,
busy. And another bonus word: COLD. We hosted 2 different exchanges, and over
the course of 4 days had Elders coming in and out of our apartment. The
exchanges were both super good and super busy! We set a baptismal date with our
investigator Tina, who will hopefully get baptized on March 16th!! We also were
able to find a bunch of people who were interested in finding out more about
the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with whom we are going to need to get in contact!
When the ZLs were here, we had a competition to see who could get the most IPs,
and whoever lost would do the Ice Bucket Challenge that night in the freezing
cold like 0 degrees. Elder Cluff and I got soaking wet and freezing cold that night. We took a
video of it too of course. Still worth the success we found that day! (sorry it doesn't load on mobile...)
We had an awesome lesson with our investigator Katya, who is
going through some tough family stuff right now, and it's getting between her
and being baptized. We talked about the importance of baptism with her at her lesson and also how important it is to be able to have the Holy Ghost with
us, especially during hard times, and she just said "guys, don't worry.
I've already made my decision. Even if the whole world is going to be against
it, I'm still going to get baptized". It's always so cool to see such
faith in God's children who are being reminded of His wonderful Gospel. So as
of now, we are kinda just waiting for things to get settled in her family
before she can have that baptism, so please keep her in your prayers!
Also this week was the closest I've ever been in my life to
getting hit by a car!! Don't worry though mom I'm okay!
Plus one more - Happy upcoming birthday to my dad this
coming Saturday who is turning the big 5-oh! You're the best, pops. Thank you
for everything, and especially your example to me. Thank you for being such a
role model of a father and a husband for me! I love you!!
Have a great week guys.
Elder Stott
