Week 46 - "My favorite animals....puppies"

Hello! WOW ok I know I always say the weeks are crazy, But this week really was. On Wednesday I said goodbye to Sister Quiroz as she headed off to Walla Walla and I got to go pick up Sister Gomez! Sister Jessica Gomez is from Henderson Nevada. She is THE BEST. She is on fire and we've been having so much fun. I am so grateful for this opportunity to learn and grow from her. I'm also grateful for her patience and kindness with these people I love so much and with me. The Lord places people in our paths for a reason, and it is our job to love and serve them. 

Part of training a new missionary is going to trainings on how to train haha. But at this training we listened to a talk called "Come what may, and love it." by Elder Joseph B Worthlin. I know that as we learn to laugh, seek for the eternal, and trust in our Father in Heaven and His Son we will be happy! Missionary work is sometimes misunderstood. People feel like they need to be serious, reserved, and concerned all the time! That is not true! All that will give you is worry lines and pre-mature grey hair. I know that as we live each day by the council that Elder Worthlin gave and give it all to our Savior Jesus Christ, we are truly happy. And we need to laugh. A lot. Life is hilarious. Especially with Sister Whetten and Sister Gomez. 

The Meadows ward continues to blossom (haha) and the Lord is preparing so many of our brothers and sisters here. I will keep you updated on all of the exciting things that are sure to come! I hope you have a wonderful week :) 

Love, 
Sister Madeline Whetten
