Hey family!:) happy 6 months! holy cow this week was a whirlwind! So yesterday I found out that I am getting transferred to Woodstock, Virginia! I am going to be training a sister there and doing the 2nd half of her training:) Virginia is really pretty and I am excited:) I leave Wednesday! But I am going to miss Braddock Heights and all of the amazing people I got to meet here. B. Heightz is the BEST.
This week was so much fun! We had zone training Tuesday and then Sisters Conference on Thursday. Sister Lasike and I got to sing Israel, Israel God is Calling at the conference. I love Sister Lasike so much! Then Friday I got my MRI and the ward Trunk or Treat! Then Saturday was Halloween:) The Kolbfleisch's in our ward fed us and Sister K. makes a Halloween dinner so we had meatloaf that looked like werewolves paws hahaha. Since we have to be in by 6 our Zone played sports the rest of the night and some missionaries dressed up. Sister Nakata had a baptism down in Winchester Saturday so we got to go to Virginia with Sister Bowden! The baptism was so cool because the husband was baptized, received the priesthood, and then was able to baptize his wife. It was a really special moment to witness.
We are still teaching the 10 year-old and I am so excited for her as she continues to grow her testimony. It is amazing to me how much little kids understand and how simply they just get the gospel.
Sisters Conference was really cool because we had the Senior Sisters talk to us on different subjects. The conference was based off Russell M. Nelson's talk on women and how it relates to being a missionary:) It made me realize how many examples I have and continue to have of covenant keeping women all around me and how much I have learned from each of them. Our mission has about 58 sisters in it. What's crazy is that after this transfer 50% of our mission will have been only been out 4 1/2 months and less. Isn't that something? Also there is an Elder Stolworthy in this mission and everyone asks me if we are related hahaha I guess he's pretty popular since so many people have asked me about him...But I know we are related somehow because this last name is way to rare haha.
Oh man I have loved this transfer. I have loved being with Sister Nakata and I have loved all the people I've met and served with here in Frederick. I hope you all have an amazing week:) Xoxo, Sister Stolworthy
