Week 12 - We had a baptism on Saturday!

Hello everyone! IT WAS A CRAZY WEEK. WOW. There is so much to say and so little time. AH ...First off, we are safe from the fires here in Richland, but our prayers are going out to all that are affected. Besides horrible air quality we are doing alright and praying for rain here in Washington. We started this week off with Zone conference which was awesome. We got to see people we hadn't seen in a while and learn all about how to become better disciples of Christ. A big focus was charity and it was so great to learn more about how we can have that change of heart! Moroni 7:45-48

WE HAD A BAPTISM ON SATURDAY! Our investigator Makiya got baptized! She is such a strong little girl and we love her dearly. She has taught us so much about being kind and pushing through hard things. I am so grateful for the opportunity we have had to teach her and I know that meeting her was just another wonderful blessing from serving here! 

About those tamales from last week...I ate them all and they were delicious and Im pretty sure i gained 10 pounds but it was WORTH IT

OH MY GOODNESS REBECCA COMMITTED TO BE BAPTIZED!!! she has been meeting with missionaries on and off for 17 years!!! We had a great lesson with her on wednesday where we read Mosiah 18 and just talked about what it meant. The spirit was so strong and we knew she could feel it too. She finished reading verse 10 and she looked up at us and goes "ladies I know I need to be baptized" oh man. It was so incredible. we love her so much and are so excited that she has chosen to come closer to her Savior by being baptized. This gospel is true and the work is grrrrreat!! 

Living with the other sisters is a blast. We love each other so much and can just crack each other up.  It is the BEST. You know me I love to laugh super loud so we are probably upsetting the neighbors. oohhh well. Having fun and working hard.

I love you all and hope you have the best week! 

Love, 

Sister Madeline Whetten
