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
