To my amazing family and friends,
I am so sorry for not writing
proper emails these past few weeks. It was been busy here in Newcastle. This
past week we have been getting Dean ready for his baptism this weekend. He is
so ready to make the change to follow Christ and his example. Shannon (his
friend, who is a member) has been helping him along his journey of
become a member of Christ's church. The both of them have helped me become stronger
in so many ways.
So I would like to share a hymn
with all of you today. It is called "I'll Go Where You Want Me To
Go."
Now my version...
🎶I will be on
an air-plane, flyin' over that England sea,
This Wednesday I'll be flying
home
Cause the Lord told me, it must
be.
I am answering, the Holy Ghost's
voice
To come home three weeks
early.
I am singing this tune to tell
all of you, you will get me sooner then you think
So..... I'll go where you want me
to go, dear Lord,
To Utah's mountain over the
sea;
I'll head the call you asked me,
dear Lord;
To Utah, my friends, I will
to be.🎶
Hope that made sense. I did wrote
that in 15 minutes so you will have to give me a break. Last p-day I thought I
was going home in April but I received a prompting (as it
states above) and I am coming home this Wednesday night. This was probably
a shock to a lot of you, and I am still trying to wrap my head around it
but you know what they say, “The Lord works in mysterious ways.” I am
going to have to cut my email here but when I get home I will send a more
detailed letter of my mission and all that I have learned. I have been so very
grateful to have served a mission. It has blessed me in so many ways. I'm glad I
have chosen to serve Heavenly Father and His children. When I first came out I
thought I was going to change England. I was wrong. England changed me, for the
better. Excited to see you all.
With much love,
Sister Garrett (soon to be
Melissa.....weird....)
P.S. By the way, my folks are having an open house for me on Saturday, but they will
have to email the details because I really can’t think that far ahead right
now.
