So, I moved to Basingstoke aka "Amazingstoke!" But I'll be honest, I cried like a baby. It was so painful to leave the Kingston ward after being there for 6 months. You don't realize how much you love the area and the people until you have to say goodbye. I will definitely miss the ward family, my companion Sister Berati, and the investigators.
But, Basingstoke will be a great experience! I already love it. It is a cute little city out in the middle of nowhere. Right in the center of town is the train station, bus station, and shopping mall. The great thing is we literally live right next door to everything we need! The flat is new in the mission and we're definitely blessed to have it. Sister Brooks is my new companion! She has been out for 3 months and is from a city just north of London. How cool is that?! I'm really excited to work with her. She told me she'd help me polish my British accent. :) The ward was so friendly yesterday, and I'm excited to begin working with them.
Although Sister Brooks has been sick the past week, we've already seen miracles in this area. "The field is white already to harvest!" Last night, we taught a cute young Polish family about the Restoration and I can't wait to teach them again. I'm also excited for the upcoming holiday season and the great opportunity it will be to teach people about baby Jesus, His mission, and His Gospel.
Scripture of the week: "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." Romans 8:16-17
