HAPPY LITTLE VEGEMITE

G'day!!

On Thursday my companion left to go to the MTC for FOUR WEEKS!!! It is very exciting for her but that is a long time. I've now been put in a trio with Sister Dorairaj and Sister Srinivasan in Vasant Vihar. We now have to look after both areas which is fun. I also had to move to a different bed and room for the first time since arriving in this mission which is sad but I'll see my room again one day... Pros are that I don't have to share a bathroom and I have my own phone though!

I got sideswiped this week which was fine like it was honestly nothing and it was all because I was so happy in texting someone who had gotten up to 1 Nephi 15 in his Book of Mormon reading!

Saturday was Australia day so I set up Australian flags in the apartment and we all had Vegemite on toast and tim tam slams for breakfast! They all like Vegemite!! Me and my companions all wore kangaroo pins too! They still wear them! We also took Australian photos as a district which was great! I set up flags outside our apartment but someone stole them!! I'm blaming the Ap's! Since it was India's republic day on the same day they probably weren't too happy seeing my flags haha. Elder Burnett heard about it though and drew me a flag to stick up! He didn't know what it looked like so he just drew it from my description and besides a few stars missing he did a pretty good job! The best thing though was that I met an Australian! I haven't met an Australian since being here but meeting them on Australia day was just the perfect timing! He's a member from Tasmania and we all had lunch together and it was awesome!

Since Australia day was on Saturday Monday is the public holiday so I'm also celebrating that by currently sitting here in my 'Happy Little Vegemite' shirt while eating Australian shaped shapes which are Vegemite flavoured and a Caramello Koala!

Went for a walk this morning with Sister Hansen along this biodiversity park which kinda reminded me of a beach and all along the trail there were these peacocks which was so cool!!

Our mission boundaries are very big but we only have missionaries in Delhi. SO we've started to get what we call remote investigators! each missionary is given one or many and we get to teach them through Skype in the Skidmore's apartment! When we get transferred and moved around that person will always remain with us and we get to teach them our whole mission which is pretty cool. If they get baptised we'll probably get to travel to that place for it which would be ULTRA cool! Elder Vowels has been a great help with this as he's sending me referrals of people he's taught in Hong Kong who have then moved back to India and I get to Skype them! 

The Spirit which you feel getting to hear someone pray for the very first time in their life is a very special experience and the spirit you feel is so strong as you can just feel the love and how happy Heavenly Father is at hearing His child speak to him for the first time. It's my favourite thing to witness.

Love Sister Watts
