Last Monday, we received a referral from Salt Lake for a girl named Xandra. We were SO excited so we contacted her as soon as we could Monday night. She immediately invited us back and we were able to have a wonderful discussion with her about how she started believing in God again and where she hopes to be. Heavenly Father is truly blessing our area as we are full of faith and willing to show our love to everyone we meet. Then on Friday, we received two more amazing referrals that both led to return appointments and new investigators! We couldn't even believe it. IT WAS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (quote from Mom). Remember how I said Pasco was the promised land? NOPE! Walla Walla totally is.
Sister Purcell and I had to give a talk on Sunday about giving and receiving the Light of Christ. I chose to highlight the talk "You are my Hands" by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. I learned so much as I studied how we are called to embrace, comfort, serve, and LOVE everyone around us.
"As we extend our hands and hearts toward others in Christlike love, something wonderful happens to us. Our own spirits become healed, more refined, and stronger. We become happier, more peaceful. and more receptive to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit."
I can testify that this is true. I have seen wonderful changes in myself and those around me as we have reached out to others with this love. We truly are the hands of the Savior and he needs us to love and care for each other. This is the perfect season to do that :) I know as we serve our brother and sisters with love we will all be blessed together! How great is that?
I hope you all have an amazing week!
Love,
Sister Madeline Whetten
