Week 59 - Fevers Round 2

Hello! Its the best time of year in lil Hermiston!! Watermelon season. Which means everyone is going crazy feeding us delicious watermelon. (im not complaining) This week was a little different. We had a zone conference in Pendleton, a training meeting in Kennewick and then on Saturday I had awful fevers all day so I was quarantined in our apartment. So it wasn't the most normal week but we still had a great time nonetheless. I've loved getting to serve with Sister Johns. She teaches me so much everyday and isn't afraid to go to work. 

We are seeing miracles daily in our area and are grateful for the members and for each other.  We have so much fun together. We are always laughing and driving crazy down the dirt roads. Linda is still doing great despite her health obstacles. We love her and know that as long as her motives remain pure, the Lord will take care of her. The Corpus family moved this week :( We are sad but we know they will always be in our hearts. Also we are keeping in touch of course :)

 

We listened to a talk by elder Holland at the Trainer meeting and it talked about being a life-long disciple. I know that the moment we are baptized we promise to do our best to follow Christ each and every day. We arent going to be perfect at it but he does expect us to TRY. When we make that covenant, it doesn't mean we stand as a witness of Christ sometimes, or on Sundays. It means that we are called to be His disciples forever and to follow him forever. I love that. He made the eternal sacrifice for us, so sacrificing our lives to him is a small price to pay. :) 

I am so excited for everything that is happening here! I love you all and I am so grateful for your love and support. Have the best week! 

Love, 

Sister Madeline Whetten
