Hello!
Well, this week was just fabulous. We were able to meet with some great people and listen to the Women's Broadcast! Overall just an awesome time. Oh, I also gave a talk which scared the living daylights out of me (which you would think wouldn't happen because I bear my whole soul to people I don't even know on the street everyday but whatever) it went alright and I hope I was able to say the things Heavenly Father needed me to say!
I spoke on the talk given by Mervyn B. Arnold titled "What have you done with my name?" If you haven't had the chance to read it...go read it! It's amazing. So straightforward and uplifting. I was given the privilege to talk about how we can magnify our names as followers of Christ. Stumbling through those 12 minutes I was able to talk about how as we keep those promises we made when we were baptized, rely on the atonement, and genuinely love and serve others, we can worthily bear the name of our loving Savior.
"Before you act, picture the Savior standing at your side and ask yourself, "would I think it, would I say it, or would I do it knowing He is there?" for surely He is there."
Isn't that powerful? Although the act of speaking in front of a large congregation is definitely not my favorite, I am grateful for the opportunity to study and allow my testimony to grow so I can better serve these AWESOME people here in Washington.
We had some miracles this week! As usual....just kidding! But really, some really great things happened. Here's the low down:
We were able to meet with Rosalinda again and she is so sweet. So full of light and love for the Savior. We hadnt been able to see her all week and then all of a sudden we see her 3 times in 1 day! Crazy!
We have a new investigator this week! His name is Manuel!
He is hilarious and so straight up about everything. the thing that gets him so pumped is the priesthood! he's always saying "this makes so much sense!" and we are all "YEAH it does!!!" Awesome.
We had the privilege of watching the Women's broadcast this week. Of course I bawled like the entire time which is embarrassing yes but it was incredible so, I don't feel too bad about it.
Learning so much about our divine nature, virtue, being an example, and having faith and hope just makes me cry I guess! It was amazing and I am so excited for conference this weekend!
I hope your week was wonderful! Love you all!
Love,
Sister Madeline Whetten
