What a rainy stormy week this was! We got some big thunder and plenty of rain. Our church parking lot flooded completely on Friday as well as the yard creating a small lake. We were very blessed to have a car so that the rain didn't keep us inside or simply soaked through. We managed to keep dry for the most part, but the rain made it hard to find people to teach. People don't want to do anything when it rains, they stay inside and sleep. We did find a few people to teach, however.
We were able to support the Grande sisters in the baptism of a wonderful family (Parents and 2 kids of baptism age) this Saturday, what a blessing to have found such a strong family! Now Sister Wilson and I are preparing for our investigator's baptism this coming weekend. That will be a great day! I am so honored to have been an instrument in the Lord's hands in helping her to get married and now baptized. That will definitely be a story to remember from my mission.
Sister Wilson is going home really soon, a week from Wednesday, and I think it is only now starting to feel real for her. She will be saying a lot of goodbyes the next week and a half. I can't even imagine what that will be like, but before I know it that will be me. I just want to remain focused with the time that I have left. 4 months is a lot, but also not enough. I will truly miss all the people here, but I will be happy to be home. It is even harder for Sister Wilson, but I know she will get through it; she is one of the strongest people I know. I will miss her a lot when she leaves. It will be strange to think that so many of the missionaries I have been serving around my entire mission (including Sister Crompton) will be going home this transfer, plus even more the following transfer when Sister Herrick leaves. It will be strange when my group of Sisters will be the oldest in the mission.
Give everyone my love!
Love,
Sister Bratt
