Hello family and friends!!!
Wow words can't explain how I am feeling right now. It's been the
hardest and the best 18 months of my life. I have learned so much on
my mission. I never thought how much my testimony would grow and how
much closer I would be to our Father in Heaven and to our Savior Jesus
Christ. It's amazing how much one can change in a year and a half. My
testimony has been strengthened. I have seen so many miracles happen
and seen the atonement change lives, mine included. It has been so
amazing to be a missionary and I truly have loved it. I wish I could
serve longer, I just don't want to leave yet... But I know that I have
things to do at home and to move on with my life. This is only just
the beginning :) Thanks for all the support you have given me. I know
that Christ lives, I could not have made it to this point without Him.
My mission wasn't easy but it was totally ALL worth it :):)
This week was so good. Being in a trio was awesome :) We were so busy
all the time and it just went by so quickly. This weekend was amazing
in which I will never forget it! On Saturday Eric was baptized. It was
so amazing :) He was sooo happy and he bore a powerful testimony of
how he can say with confidence that he knows the church is true. The
beginning of this transfer he came to Henry's baptism and that is when
we set up our first appointment with him and now he is a member of the
church and read the Book of Mormon all the way through before his
baptism. What a great experience it was to help teach him and help him
come close to God. God loves him soooo much! He is ready to serve in
the church and to continue to progress more and more in the gospel.
I'm just so happy!!! I think it's a great way to end my mission :) It
was a great week!
Sister Wentzel left on Tuesday... That was pretty hard. I have learned
so much from her and she is one of my best friends!!! I love her so
much :) she is going to crunch it on temple square!!! Also that night
I had my last English class. It was really good. I loved teaching
English! I will miss the people in our class so much! I love them all
:)
Well I will see you very soon... I truly love you sooooo much and I
know that missions will help any who puts their heart, might, mind,
and strength into it. My testimony has bricks rock solid! I love you
all to the moon and back :) See y'all soon!! 😝
Love,
Sister Wadsworth

Hello family and friends!!
How are you all doing? I am doing great!!! It's so weird that I only
have one week left... This past week has been really good :) We are
just trying to work as hard as we possibly can because it mine and
Sister Wentzels last week together... :( Both of us just keep saying
how much we have helped each other these past two transfers. We both
have changed so much! It's been truly remarkable. I am so grateful for
Sister Wentzel, she is so amazing and has taught me so much to be a
better person :):)
This week we met with our former investigator Matthew. The only reason
we dropped him is because he left State College for a while and would
never get back to us but this time he actually reached out to us. He
texted us asking us some questions and asked if we could meet and if
he could come to church. Of course we wanted to meet with him and have
him come to church. He said that the past month he has been really
depressed and had a lot on his mind and wanted to talk about God with
people but they never wanted to and then he remembered us and then
contacted us. He is so awesome :) He really wants to leans more about
God and have a personal relationship with Him. He doesn't have much of
a religious background but knows that God exists and that He loves
him. He texted us after his lesson and thanked us for meeting with him
and how much better he felt :) The Lord knows what we need, He loves
us!!!! He came to church and loved it! :) He will meet with
missionaries and go to church wherever he is!!
Now let's talk about Eric. HE IS SO AMAZING!!!! He will be baptized
this Saturday. What a way to end my mission!!! He basically organized
his baptism and went up to people at church and asked them to do
specific things for his baptism! It was so awesome :) Him and
Jessica(the member who introduced him to the church) fed us dinner
yesterday. He is sooooo sincere :):):):):) We are soooo excited for
him. He is progressing so well and doing amazing things already! He is
so excited to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. So grateful we were able to teach him :) So prepared!!!
This week I have been pondering on my mission and how I have changed
so much. It just amazes me how in 18 months one can become such a
better person. The atonement is so real!! Not just for our mistakes
and sins, it's for EVERYTHING! The good, the bad, and the in between
:) I have learned so much about the atonement of Jesus Christ, and so
much more, but the atonement has helped me get through the hard days
and helped me to feel the happiness of all the good days. I have seen
the Atonement work in other people's lives as well. It's so amazing
:):) I know Christ lives, I know He loves us so much, and I know that
He will be there to help us in EVERY situation!! I am so grateful for
Him and for His great example and sacrifice for all of us :):)
I love you all soooooooo much. I hope you have a fantastic week. This
week I will be in a trio with Sister Ewell and Sister Bowden. Sister
Wentzel will be leaving on Tuesday around 4pm because the transfers
for the temple square mission are a week before us. It should be a
great week but very sad... I'm just so grateful for Sister Wentzel
:):) I love her with all my heart!!
Love,
Sister Wadsworth

Well another week has gone by so quickly! I hit my 18th month mark
this week...... 😷 It's so weird to think that I have been on a
mission for that long. I can't believe how fast time has gone... It
really needs to SLOW DOWN!!! But things are going really good here in
State College, it's been so amazing here and love this area with all
my heart. I have been blessed with amazing areas to serve in :) I am
so grateful that I am finishing my mission here in State College
because it's a walk area and it makes it easier to be diligent and
always getting the chance talk to people wherever you are. Even when
we ride on the bus!
The work is going really well lately and we are seeing a lot of
success. Out investigators are super prepared. Our investigator Eric
went to the sacred grove and to the pageant this weekend and really
really enjoyed it. He had the opportunity to pray in the sacred grove
and he said it was an amazing experience for him! His baptism date
actually got moved up to July 30th so he does it before he takes a
trip back home! What investigator moves their baptism up? It's truly
so amazing :):):) We are so happy for the choices he is making and the
progress he is having!! He just texted is now saying that he talked to
his parents about it and they are supportive of it is what he
wants!!!! We are sooo happy :):):):)
Jancoba, the one who read the Book of Mormon in three days, is doing
amazing as well :) He came to church and stayed for all three hours!!
:) He will be going back to France this Friday to visit family. He
will be baptized when he gets home from his trip to France. He said
that the Book of Mormon is answering all his questions and is asking
us questions to help him and he knows the church is true!!! It's so
amazing how God prepares His children and shows us and them how much
He loves us!
This week at forums we found Mona. She is form China and has been at
penn state for 2 years. She doesn't have a religious background but
has thought about who God is. She said that she would learn some day
and then we said that we could help her learn and teach her and she
said yes! So we met with her two days later and she is so prepared as
well!! She is ready to learn about God and she has been saying prayers
and reading and came to church and she said that she really enjoyed it
:) Baptizing nations!!! 🇨🇳 🇿🇦 🇺🇸 🇳🇱
I can't believe I only have two weeks... My mission has helped me
become such a better person and has strengthened my testimony soooo
much! I am so grateful for this opportunity I have had to serve a
mission. I am grateful that I still have two weeks to work so hard and
to share the message of the Restoration like crazy! I love you all so
much, to the moon and back!!!! Have a great week :)
Love,
Sister Wadsworth
