Dear Mom and Dad,
Hey I just wanted to tell you that I am ok. Not
that everything has been perfect; the first few days were really rough. Yes I
did cry the first and second and the third night. But I found your note in my
wallet to day and that made me feel so much better. Last night was really hard
because we taught our 1st pretend real discussions and it di not go
so well. She was an atheist Asian who did not want sister Johnson and I there.
We felt the spirit so strong and we were devastated. I felt really discouraged
ad just wanted to come home however I knew that I was supposed to be here so
that was not an option. Then today we went to the temple and sitting in the
chapel I was just praying to feel better. I opened the Book of Mormon to Moses
6:32-34, it talks about how the Lord will use Enoch as his mouthpiece and how
the Lord will be with him always.
Another thing that made me realize I was supposed
to be here was when another missionary sister Brown was feeling sick. Because I
have the medical knowledge I do I asked her how she felt, she didn’t have a
fever her stomach and head hurt and she just felt sick. I knew that she was not
sick but stressed. So I took her out in the hall during gym and tried to help
her calm down. We started doing deep breathing and after a while she just
started to cry and opened up to me about how sad and depressed she felt. I was
able to help her deal with how sad she was and to tell her that I knew how she
felt and that she could come and talk with me anytime. I know I was supposed to
be here to help her through that experience. After our talk she felt so much
better. We are so close now and I am so happy to know her.
Mom that card you put in my wallet and Dad’s card
have both helped me so much. The both came at just at the time I needed them
most. I am so grateful or 2 loving parents whom I love dearly11 please remember
that I love you both; I know that this gospel is true. I want others to have
the opportunity to be with their families forever. That is all I want to do and
that is why I left you. I will be home soon and love you both so much.
With love, Sister Chatwin
PS HOW IS COCO!! I know you are taking good care of her for which I am eternally
grateful.
