Week 6



Sister Kotter's very pretty sister!


Well first off, why is my sister so dang pretty!?!?! Like for real she needs to stop being so dang pretty!! hahaha
Anyways, this week was amazing!! It started off really slow, we were just trying to find people, and getting no where, but then Thursday we had All Scotland, which is when all the missionaries in Scotland come together for a conference type thing; it was so good!! It was great because I got to see all my MTC friends again. (well most of them). We learned a lot about member missionary work and just how to improve our teaching altogether. It was amazing! People also were always asking me where I was from because apparently my accent is funny...I didn't realize that  my accent was so funny but hey it gets people to talk to me so that's good! hahaha
 Friday I had exchanges! So Sister Smith and I were in Glasgow with the STLs (sister training leaders). I was able to go out with sister Parker and let me tell you she is just amazing! She is such a great missionary and I learned so many new things from her! The best part about exchanges though was that I actually got to teach some lessons!!!! It was so great to be able to do something besides finding all day!! It was much needed! When Sister Smith and I came back together after wards, we were so ready to work and to help our area!! It was like the fire inside of us was lit again and we were ready!! And the Lord knew we were ready because he led us to so many people on Saturday!! We set up so many appointments and we really saw what our area can become! It was a miracle! This week is going to be a good week!!

So the crazy guy, he didn't show up to our next appointment :( so were not teaching him anymore, BUT we found a new crazy guy hahaha so were teaching him now...I don't know why but the Lord always leads us to these crazy people and we get to teach them..I don't know what we have to learn from them, but it must be something! 
We also found this amazing girl! She went from no belief in God to wanting to be baptized in one lesson, but then she told her mom and her mom said we cant meet with her anymore :( it was probably one of the saddest things ever. She's still going to read the Book of Mormon and everything but she just doesn't want to cause contention between her and her mom.
I absolutely love it here though! The work is finally starting to pick up and I'm finally starting to feel like a real missionary! Of course, right when I start to really like it here, the weather starts to change hahahaha its pretty chilly now, but that's okay! I just wear lots and lots of layers!! Oh and the members told us it snows a lot here so that should be interesting... :)
 I love you momma!! you guys are so awesome!! Tell everyone at home that I love and miss them and thanks for the emails!!! It really makse my day to hear from y'all!!!

LOVE YOU!!!
Sister Kotter :)

Daddy!
You are like the best ward mission leader ever! I love it so much!! If we had that in our ward missionary work would explode!!!!! You rock! This transfer has really turned around! Things are starting to pick up here and we are seeing miracle upon miracle! It's really amazing! I keep praying for guidance and help from the Lord to find those people who are ready! I know they are here because I can feel it with my whole soul. They are just hiding very well right now!! I know the Lord will lead them to us or us to them! I love you so much!! I miss normal boring life in Snellville, but Scotland it so amazing!! I cannot wait for y'all to come see this beautiful country! We were taking a car ride to Glasgow this Sunday for stake conference and the view is just incredible!!!!! I am for real so excited for y'all to be here with me one day!!!

Love you daddy!! keep being awesome! You and mom and Shae and Stephen and Allison are legit so great!
Sister Kotter :)
