The sun actually came out for the first time in weeks and it was so nice to actually talk to people outside. Birthdays on the mission are really great. (Besides the whole not getting to talk to your family part of course) The members were so sweet and they totally took care of me. We had the opportunity to travel to the furthest corner of our mission on Saturday to go to the baptism of one of Sister Safsten's investigators. I am so glad she got to go see him make that important step! On the way home the members that gave us a ride took us to red robin for my birthday. It was SO nice of them to do that. They also told everyone and made them sing to me which was pretty funny and embarrassing. But nothing is really embarrassing out here anymore. Later that night we had a lesson with the Hawkins family. They are incredible and just keep getting more and more excited for their baptism on February 13. We meet with them almost every day and they just glow. You can tell as they have taken these steps to grow closer to our Savior Jesus Christ that their countenances have changed. All they talk about is how excited they are to be sealed together as an eternal family next year. It has been a JOY to work with them so I had to send a picture of our joy. Heavenly Father has been blessing us with so many different people to teach. I feel like we always need to be in 5 places at once. But as I keep learning and RE learning how to completely trust in the Lord's timing I am overwhelmed with gratitude for his love and guidance.
I hope you all had THE BEST week. Love you!
Love,
Sister Madeline Whetten
