Week 33 - "Rain, Rain ...Go Away"

Hello! 
Not too much to write today, its been a pretty crazy week. We had transfers this week and my new companions name is Hermana Safsten! (yes hermana..she has been Spanish speaking her whole mission so hopefully I can learn from her!) She's a cute lil red head from Maryland and she is so ready to go! I'm excited to have here here with me in Walla Walla. Its pretty crazy taking over an area after 6 weeks but its been so fun learning as we go. 

We had some great miracles this week! We were trying by this lady named Alicia who had asked us to come back. She wasn't home so we knocked on the first door we saw. Out came Robert and we ended up having an amazing, spirit-filled conversation with him. He has a strong desire to find light in his life through our Savior Jesus Christ. I know that as we keep working with him and as He nourishes his testimony he will be able to find that light. 
One of my favorite parts about being a missionary is being able to promise blessings. Nothing beats  when I am able to promise blessings from our Savior to someone who didn't have that knowledge of truth and light in their lives. It brings happiness and I am so grateful to be a part of it. 

It has been raining like crazy. But not normal rain. SIDEWAYS rain. People think we are just nuts walking around in that. We found so many people this week though so it looks like we cant be "fair weather fans" haha. It is super funny teaching someone while you're being pelted with cold rain on your face. Makeup smearing and all, it is still a good experience and it doesnt make you love it any less. 

I am so grateful for all of you and the support you bring! I hope you have a wonderful week! 
Love, 
Sister Madeline Whetten
