Hey family and friends!!!
Today marks a new transfer, Sister Zaugg leaves for Pittsburgh tomorrow and arrives in Utah on Wednesday. I get a new companion, kinda nervous!! I hit my hump mark in 9 days.... Lots of changes are headed my way!!
So on Monday, we went on a hike, it was so fun!!! We were taking a picture and Sister Zaugg was on my back and I wanted to do a squat with her on my back so I did one then I tried to do another one and I fell backwards and landed right on my back! Talk about embarrassing!!! I can tell that I haven't worked on my legs for awhile!!! HAHAHAHAHA It was funny :):) That night we had a great lesson with one of our less-actives Sister Batista. She has such a strong testimony of the gospel and is so solid :) She is progressing really well!!!
Tuesday, we had a lesson with Austin and he wanted to teach us so he did. It is the best thing to see them be able to teach a lesson and see how far they have gone!!! It was great :) Austin is so amazing!!! We had a lesson with an investigator Sister Finkey, she is doing good. It was the first time we were able to meet with her in a couple of weeks. She has been reading the Book of Mormon on her own!! That is really good for her :) We went to Ephrata Manor and it was Sister Zauggs last time.. It was sad :( But I love Ephrata Manor, and just service in general!!! We were able to contact some less-actives that the ward has never met and also a couple that haven't been able to be contacted for awhile by anyone and we were able to get in and invite them back to church and to general conference, it was great :):)
Wednesday , we had district meeting and we talked about how to use our ipads correctly and not be distracted by them. Sometimes that is hard but the more and more you are obedient to the rules the easier it becomes. Afterwards we watched the funeral of Elder Scott, I sure am going to miss him!!! He was a great servant of the Lord. We were able to have a lesson with Ethan and Amanda 2, they were both good. Amanda is doing well, the members we have brought have really connected with her. The 2 sisters we have brought with us feel that they are suppose to be a part of her life, it's amazing!!
Thursday, we had another lesson with Austin. We sit on his porch and it has been getting kinda chilly here so we had blankets around us for the lesson :) It was great!! We had dinner with one of our less-actives and they fed us a real PA dutch meal!! It was soooo good!!!! :):) They even gave us leftovers!! :) After dinner we had a lesson with Amanda. She was able to receive priesthood blessing. That helped my testimony grow so much, when someone comes in and gives a blessing to someone they don't know and everything was spot on, how can you say that is not the power of God? It was truly amazing to witness that. I know that the priesthood power is real!!!
Friday, we weekly planned. We went to the Burds and Sister Zuagg said goodbye :( We had dinner with Amanda 1 and her boyfriend who came from Maryland for general conference :) She got us pizza!! :) We also were able to have a good lesson with her about tithing. I love her so much!!!
Saturday, we watched conference at the Gillmans for the first session. It was so good!!! Then we went to Ben and Megans kids birthday party. It was lots of fun :) Then we went and watched the second session of general conference with the Nielsens. Afterwards Sister Nielsen, Sister Zaugg and I just sat and talked for a little bit. It was so great!! I love Sister Nielsen so much :)
Sunday we had lunch with the bishop and his family then watched conference with them. In between sessions we played a game with them :) It was lots of fun!! then we watched the second session with them again. They also fed us dinner :) Their whole family got together and had lots of soup!!! It was really good :) I love the Bowe family they are so great!!! This general conference was so good. I got a lot of personal revelation out of it. One of the things that kept sticking out to me was that we need to be more righteous and exactly obedient. It really hit me that I need to be EXACTLY obedient to ALL the rules. I don't have any issues with being obedient but sometimes I slip with just the little things and that can't happen. I want to work on my faith and I went into conference with that in my mind and I know that was my answer. I need to be exactly obedient!!! It was so good :):) I loved it and am so grateful for it :) General conference is like Christmas for missionaries :) It's the best!! :)
Well I am doing good!!! Like I always say "I love being a missionary!!!!!!" Hope you all have a great week and know that I love you to the moon and back!!!! You are all the best :) I invite those who weren't able to watch general conference to go and watch it because it was truly amazing!!!!
I know this church is true, the book is blue!!! LOVE YA!
Love Sister Wadsworth
P.S. So the new apostle Elder Stevenson is my mission President's childhood friend!!! Elder Stanfill who spoke in Saturday afternoon session was just in our mission a couple of weeks ago!! It was awesome to see him speak again :):)
