Hey family and friends!!

Wow time sure has gone by so fast. I feel like it was just Monday
yesterday. We were pretty busy this week so it makes it go by pretty
fast. We had interviews with our mission president this week. He is
such an inspired man, I love the Johnsons!! In my interview we talked
about how my testimony is doing. I never thought my testimony would be
this strong. I am so grateful for the things I have learned and
continue learn everyday. He told me that I need to continue to work at
my testimony and nourish it every day. I can't stop studying or
praying everyday when I am home, we all need to continue strengthen
our testimonies every day. Our desires that we have and the goals we
want to accomplish will be based on how much and how hard we work. We
need to work as hard as we can at all times. Never give up and
continue to be faithful in the gospel!!

So this past week we had a dinner appointment at a members house from
the family Ward (I serve in a YSA branch) and they had this hot sauce
that is one of the hottest sauces you can by. It was 9.6million SHU
and I put a tiny drop on my fork and put it on my tongue. I have never
felt such a bad burning sensation before. It felt like my stomach was
a volcano... It was sooooo hot! Another sister did it too and we were
dying. I will never do that again!! It was really hot... Oh and it
snowed this week. The weather here is so temperamental.. It's a lot
like Idaho weather!! Hahaha :)

Here in State College we work with quite a few people who don't have a
belief in God or have a very brief understanding of who God and Christ
are. It has helped me go back to the basics and know the basic
principles of the gospel and how much Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ
love us!!! I know God is there and that Jesus Christ lives! They love
us more than we can even comprehend. We need to let Them help us in
our lives. They are ready to help and bless us all we have to do is
ask for it! This is Christ's church, He is the head of it, and through
Him we can live with our Father in Heaven and our families FOREVER!!!
What a great blessing that is. The atonement is real not just for our
sins and mistakes but for our pains, for our sorrows, and for our
happiness and peace we have in our lives. They love you!

Well I love you all to the moon and back 😊 Have a great week!!

Love,
Sister Wadsworth
