Week 48 - Coming out of hibernation...

Hello!  Sister Gomez and I have been busy talking to a ton of people now that the weather is getting so nice. Everyone is coming out of hibernation and it has been great to meet some more of our brothers and sisters. It is so fun having Sister Gomez. I really admire her and we have so much fun working together. She puts up with my horrible jokes and
 even though she sometimes pretends like she is shooting me I know it is a sign of her love. I am grateful for her constant example of hard work and charity. Also for her humor. We are always laughing and cracking jokes and it makes for happy working days.

We are SO excited about our friend Linda who is preparing to be baptized. She is the happiest most genuine woman. She is always knitting when we go and visit her and her house is stocked with old hard candies and glamor shots of her from the 80's. She calls us "the girls" and gives us huge hugs. Her life has been full of so many ups and downs but she knows the Lord has been preparing her for this time. She is so excited to make a promise with our Heavenly Father and we are blessed to get the chance to love and serve her. 

Sister Gomez and I have found a new horrible love. Drive through cheeseburgers. I know I know it sounds crazy. But when you are running around working all day IT IS SO GOOD. We've gotta stop though cause pretty soon we are going to be rolling out of Hermiston. It is pretty funny though to see all these sisters running to the drive through. We have put an end to it though in fear of a pre-mature heart attack. 

I thank my Heavenly Father each and every day for this wonderful opportunity. It fills me with so much joy to testify of His Son and of his loving, miraculous, perfect plan for all of us. I am grateful for every experience He has given me and I know that it helps me better serve and love those around me. Thank you for all of your love and support! Have a great week! 

Love, 
Sister Madeline Whetten
