Hello!! This week was a wild one. We had our last zone conference with President and Sister Ware on Friday. It has been such a pleasure to serve with them. I am so grateful for their love and influence in my life. I know that the Lord sent me here to learn from them and its been a great year. It was pretty sad though!! Your mission definitely becomes a part of your life and im sure its tough to leave. Sister Ware kept saying it was bittersweet and I think that says it.
ANYWAY!
We had a great week!!! We have been searching for some new people to teach and the Lord blessed us with Leti, Rossi, and Zach. It is so amazing to be able to be an tool in the Lord's hands in finding and teaching his children. Its remarkable how you can be in a small town that has been visited by missionaries for so many years and still find people that have never had any contact with the gospel. Testifying of a Savior who heals and guides is the most uplifting, happy work. It doesnt even feel like work I swear.
ALSO! Weve been meeting with the corpus family for a while now and on Friday they invited us over for some hot wings and a lesson. The most perfect combo if you ask me. So while we are sitting there eating this amazing food Brother Corpus starts telling us about these amazing experiences hes had. We have been working with them on attending the temple and as we are eating he tells us that he finally feels like he is ready to work with the Bishop on going to the temple. We were literally crying and stuffing our faces at the same time. It was incredible to see the joy on his face when he told us that. We know their family will be so blessed as they are sealed and make more promises with the Lord.
We were able to attend the temple this morning and my testimony of eternal families and the importance of temple work was reaffirmed. I know that this is the Lord's true church and it brings be joy to share it with others! I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Sister Madeline Whetten
