Week 49 - Tornado Warnings .... and Mother's Day!

Hello! 
I wanted to start of by saying happy mothers day to all of the wonderful mothers and mother figures. Especially my mom :) It was such a blessing to be able to skype with the family yesterday. My testimony of eternal families continues to grow and it is amazing to be able to share it with our brothers and sisters.

This week was crazy. There was an insane storm/tornado that whipped through here on Wednesday night. We aren't very technologically advanced as missionaries so we didn't receive the tornado warning alert and we kept on pushing through this crazy weather. We were completely soaked and getting blown off our feet. It was scary and funny and sure made for some fun interactions with people. Trying to scream "WE ARE THE SISTER MISSIONARIES" over the thunder and wind was impossible but we had a good time trying. 

The next day we had service and worked on picking up all of the debris that had been scattered around Hermiston. The storm really shook everyone up but it was good that we were able to help out. 


Despite the weather we were able to find some amazing people to teach this week. We are so excited to continue to meet with them and help them progress. Linda is still amazing and we are going to help her bake some bread on Saturday with all of our new found elderly friends. 

It was a great week and we are still so happy to be here. Each day brings new blessings and adventures. I hope you all have a great week! 

Love, 
Sister Madeline Whetten
