This has officially been one of THE CRAZIEST weeks of my mission. Seriously. Sister Watt left last Monday, she actually went back to the Visitors Centre after all that! Another sister got assigned to Eastbourne. I was with Sister Brown for 2 nights until Wednesday when we both got our new companions. Sister Maddocks is my new companion but we hardly had any time to settle in and get to know each other because on Friday I was so blessed to go to MLC (mission leadership council) for the last time! Two sisters from Bournemouth came and stayed at our flat Thursday evening and then Friday morning Sister McLeod and I went up to Staines for the meeting most of that day. On top of that I've been battling a head cold!!!!!! So, yes, it's been a little wild around here, but we've finally settled in and I'm starting to feel better thanks to my Vitamin C drinks. :) Sister Maddocks and I are getting to know eachother much better now because I'm feeling more like myself and we've actually been able to spend some time together and she's gotten to know the ward a bit better since she came to church in Chi for the first time yesterday.
Despite all the movement among missionaries, we had a really great week! We were trying to get "No Zeroes" in our key indicators and the only zero we really had was investigators with a baptismal date! We had done well with everything else! So that was a really great miracle and now we're just doing our best to find someone who's prepared to be baptized! I'm really excited for the coming week! One of the best parts of the week was that our 18 year old investigator Callum came to church for the first time yesterday! He's been to a YSA activity once and we've invited a member to come teach us with him and so he finally agreed to come to church and he came!! Yay!!! And now he's been invited by the members to be a part of the "Roadshow" which is like a little skit competition they do in the stake and Callum is in drama so he's the perfect man for the job! :) We're really grateful and happy to be teaching him.
So today starts the beginning of my last transfer!! There is a lot of work to be done in 5 weeks and I'm really excited to keep working as hard as I can for as long as I have left. I got a letter from President Millar this week in the mail that's basically a "job well done" letter to all the missionaries going home. I read it and thought, but I still have 5 weeks President, don't kill me off yet! :) I'm grateful to be spending it with Sister Maddocks in Chichester and I'm planning to enjoy every second of it.

3 Behold, I say unto you that it is my will that you should go forth and not tarry, neither be idle but labor with your might—
4 Lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, proclaiming the truth according to the revelations and commandments which I have given you.
5 And thus, if ye are faithful ye shall be laden with many sheaves, and crowned with honor, and glory, and immortality, and eternal life." -D&C 75:2-5
This is Sister Maddocks!!! and this was the windiest day in Chi yet!! Time to bundle up!
