Hello everyone!!!

Happy Fourth of July!!!! Hope all of you have a great day and are safe

:) Can't believe that it is already July... This week has been yet

another amazing one! I am loving serving in State College, ITS THE

BEST!! There is so many things going on and so many people to teach. I

literally have never been so busy in my mission. It is so different

from all my other areas. I really love it! This past week people from

the branch are finding out that I am going home in a month and all of

them are so surprised! They had no idea that I am going home.. Hahaha

it's awesome :)

So some highlights for this week. First we had a lesson with our new

investigator Eric. One of the members in our branch became friends

with him and shared the gospel and now we are teaching him :) He is so

awesome. He loves coming to church and reading the Book of Mormon. We

taught him the Restoration and he said that almost all his questions

were answered!! He said yes to baptism on August 13!! He is just so

amazing. He has been searching for awhile now and he feels like he has

finally found the right church to be apart of. Member missionary work

is just the best!! :):)

Another highlight is our investigator Jancoba. HE READ THE WHOLE BOOK

OF MORMON IN THREE DAYS! He said that it answered almost all his

questions that he had! He will be baptized on August 13 as well. He

feels as if the Book of Mormon is true and will still continue to pray

and read to know if it is true. The Lord has been blessing us with so

many great people to teach. We are so grateful for Him trusting us

with His children!! Our investigator Chris is doing great as well. He

has had so many spiritual experiences since we have been teaching him

which was only last week. His baptism date is August 6. He is soooo

sincere and truly wants to know what is true and what isn't.

So on Saturday we were driving to a service project that we had and

the member who was driving us got pulled over!! It was pretty funny

and she was so calm! I remember when I got pulled over the times I did

I was so nervous! I was even nervous this time!!! Hahaha. He came up

to my door and when he came back to give the driver a ticket I gave

him a temple invitation to the temple open house for the Philly temple

:) Always going to be a missionary!! It was awesome :) Oh and on

Thursday we went to the doctor for Sister Wentzel to get her arm

checked out. Nothing big, she just has this weird lump on her arm. But

the nurse practitioner who was seeing her saw our nametags and started

talking to us about the gospel. Come to find out that she use to have

missionaries teaching her. Her daughter in law is a member, not active

but her family is very active. We shared the invitation with her as

well. We talked about the Book of Mormon, she has one already but she

promised us that she would start reading it. It was such an awesome

missionary experience :)

Everyday my testimony gets stronger and stronger. I learn something

every single day. I am loving missionary work and I love serving with

Sister Wentzel. We only have 3 weeks left with each other because she

leaves a week before our transfers... These past two transfers have

been some of the best transfers of my mission. I always told myself

that I never wanted to be trunky to go home and Sister Wentzel has for

sure helped me accomplish that goal! I LOVE HER :):) I will never ever

forget the amazing experiences I have had on my mission here in

Pennsylvania. It has been so amazing!!! I still can't believe how fast

time has gone and how much time I have left... Sprint to the finish

line :)

Love,

Sister Wadsworth
