Its been a crazy week. I think I say this every week, but its always so true!! I was surprised to get to go to the Sydney Temple this week with some other sisters who were training as well. What an incredible experience!!! I love the temple. I'm so grateful we have such a beautiful blessing so accessible to us. We have some REAL investigators as well! What?!? its been great to be teaching again. I've been obsessed with the Book of Mormon lately. All I want to do is read it sometimes. Its been such a strength to me. Read it guys!!! Everyday. Everyday. Everyday.
Its been nuts. Training is hard guys. But all the best kinds of hard. I'm being stretched. I don't feel like I know what I'm doing. I'm playing mom but I love it. My companion is so naive and so sweet and I'm so afraid to break her. I'm teaching her English, and how to spend money, she has been so sick so I'm nursing her and I'm just learning to love so much.
Miracle of the week. So Bellambi. Its so ghetto. Scary ghetto. Missionaries get robbed, harassed, its scary. I was going to pick up the other sisters in Bellambi. I was following my GPS and it wanted to take me a weird way and in my head I'm thinking "I know there is a faster way" but I just followed the GPS. I felt like it was the best way for us right now. We whip around this round about (there are HEAPS of these in Australia) and when I whip around there was a little boy, like 1 year old little boy, in the middle of the road. My heart stops. This road is such a fast road. I stop the car and tell sister Larita to go out and protect him while i try to get my car in a safe place. I jump out of the car and the kid is still wandering. Cars are still coming. I'm freaking out. I pick up the baby and just hold him. I didn't even know what to do. I've never felt so much love for someone i didn't even know. I feel like for a glimpse of time I got to feel what God feels for us.He sent me there because he loved this little boy. At this point I seriously have no idea what to do. I'm just praying. A young girl probably 12 comes out and realizes that I have her brother. She just stops in her tracks. And looks at our name badges. It was nuts. She takes him and thanks us over and over again. The little boy blows kisses at me. It was amazing. Its all I've been able to think about since. Why was it me that got to help this sweet family? I just didn't understand. But I know its because I wear His name on my chest. Just me being the one who gave that child back was a testament to that girl that Christ was aware of her because he sent us and we wore His name. It was the coolest thing ever.
I love you all more than I love my self some Tim Tams (so loads basically) Miss you much!
Love,
Sister Chelsea Lou
