Congratulations for what? 25/03/19

Hey!!!

This didn't happen all in this week but just trying to catch up on the last few weeks!!

We had a guy call us because he found a Book of Mormon in the park and a club and the one that found it in the park was Catholic and he was super interested in learning about what this book so just showed that the person you actually give the book to isn't always the one that actually needs it.

We went to the embassy with Bro Willis and went bowling and he bought us all this food which was awesome!!

We always walk past this guy who sells coconuts on the side of the street and this one day he told us to get in his auto and he'd give us a ride home. The auto didn't have a roof or anything on the outside and it was the funniest thing ever! This is what I'd call a convertible auto.

There's this place in my area which is sector 7 R.K. Puram and it always smells so bad when you walk past it! My hand never smells so good when I walk past there!

We had previously called someone and they said it was a wrong number but for some reason when I was looking at their number later and I felt to call them again. Turns out it was this guy and his brother and they wanted to know what happens after he dies. One believes Jesus Christ is a prophet and we need to follow him. Don't strike someone off just because you get a wrong number. 

I'm unconsciously making Indian food, I tried to make soup but instead, I made what tasted like a curry but without any spices, maybe when I try to make a curry it'll turn out like a soup next time.

It was nearly Holi last Monday and kids threw water bombs at us while on the bus and it was so funny seeing everyone get wet. We played cricket with nearly the whole mission and it was really fun!!

They have fresh lemon water on the side of the ride and it is just the best thing ever, it tastes so good!!!

It was HOLI!!!!!!! Holi is all about throwing your essence on others which is a pretty cool thing and I need to bring it back to Australia! I wore a white kurta so all the colour would really stand out but all the water just washed it all off and it doesn't look as cool as I thought. President was playing with us too so it was fun getting to throw coloured powder and water bombs at him too! The Holi celebrations started early too! The night before we saw some elders outside throwing water bombs so we went out on the balcony to throw bombs at them and it was the greatest.  Bad idea I thought I was safe so I stepped out of the apartment but Elder Veera was right there with this coloured water and he poured it all over me and I was like ahhh. He completely ruined everything I had on but yeah so all these missionaries had a massive water fight in the apartments and it was pretty fun! 

We got back to the apartment and Sister Dorairaj was like congratulations and I was like congratulations for what? She ran into Sister Sasidhar and was like they haven't informed them yet. Later I got a call from the zone leaders and they were like transfers are out and you are now an STL (Sister Training Leader) and will be serving in Janakapuri with Sister Dorairaj (I think that's how you spell it) It's just a homegroup so that'll be new and exciting!!

Don't forget me!!

Hey!!!

sorry no time to update you on all the fun things that happened this week but I'll be sure to have an extra long update next week! Here's some pictures so that you don't forget what i look like!!

Love Sister Watts




Missionaries walking around in the middle of summer in Delhi proves there is a God

Hey hey hey!!!

There's a member in Vasant Vihar who is the real MVP! He went to Australia last week for business and he asked if he could bring anything back for me and i was like um some cereal would be really great! He was oh yeah i know exactly what you mean, i can't even imagine how much dal you have eaten. He ordered me some cereal right away because it's easier then bringing it back with him. He rocked up to church yesterday with a box of cap'n crunch and Australian kangaroo jerky! Have no idea what that cereal is but when Elder Miles saw it he was extremely jealous and was like i would eat this cereal everyday but you can't get it here and i haven't seen it in two years. Looked like he was about ready to cry haha.

We met a guy this week and he said he wouldn't accept a Book of Mormon because he wanted to save trees and that Book of Mormon could of been oxygen which was interesting haha but he downloaded the gospel library app right there and then and he said that he's never really been into religion but that he's seen these couples of an American and an Indian walking around Delhi in the middle of summer and he's like how are they outside right now and he said that made him think well maybe there is a God if they're willing to walk around in this heat.

Had another experience of learning by the spirit where we needed to go this week. Me and my companion weren't sure where we needed to go in one part of the day on finding Friday and so we said a prayer on the side of the road and i felt that we needed to go to sector 13 again but she felt that we should go to Moti Bagh and so i was like well to get to either of these places we need to go to the bus stop so we headed over there and then right behind the bus stop is sector 6 and i kept looking at it as we were walking past and i was like yup this is where we need to go and we ended up finding two new people there and some great potentials! I just feel like Nephi sometimes being led by the spirit not knowing beforehand. 

I cut someone's hair for the first time last week! My companion was my lucky victim and she actually loved it and so maybe i should go into the hairdressing business haha.

We went to a less active's home and it was the first time we were meeting her and she brought out all this food for us! she had Doritos, chips, juice AND THEN she brought out smiley face fries and chicken nuggets AND THEN some more chips AND THEN these banana pancake things AND THEN she found out i love pappadums and so she went to make some for me! AND THEN she asked if we wanted more! It was just a whole lot of food for just two people. She said next time we come we'll have a party and i'm like is this not a party?

I'm trying to learn Hindi now and i think I'm doing alright at it! Everyday I'm learning something new and I'm actually remembering the stuff I'm learning! I'll be fluent in no time!!
