HOLA MI FAMILIA!

 

As you all know, transfers was this past week and i had to say goodbye to my good trainer, Hermana Rials. She is now serving in Mount Pleasant with Hermana Baird! Isnt that really fun?! Well, I have also been blessed with being companions with her companion from the MTC, Hermana Draney! She is an excellent missionary and we are both already starting to work really hard in Des Moines! It is really fun, i am having a blast!

 

We already have set many goals for the next 2 transfers we will have together. We both really feel that Des Moines is going to blossom and we are really excited for this! We decided that we are going to start sacrificing even more! For example, no more songs that are not sung by MoTab! And we also have little things we have to do if we get an inappropriate song in our head, or even if we sing it out loud. For example, whenever we get a song in our head that is not MoTab, we just need to start singing a Hymn. But, if we start singing it out loud, we have to sing 2 verses to a Hymn while doing crunches! So, this morning we both did our crunches! AH! It is really good though because i really feel it is going to work and before we know it, we will only be thinking about good encouraging songs that invite the Spirit and we will always be worthy to have it with us! I have truly been learning lately that sacrifice brings forth the blessings of Heaven. On Saturday, we were checking up on some former investigators and we actually met this cute old man standing outside his home enjoying the nice spring weather! (Which by the way, the weather is GORGEOUS here right now!) Well, we ended up talking to him for a little bit outside and then he invited us in where we met his adorable wife. We shared a scripture with them and set up a return appointment. It was such a blessing from the Lord that we got into his home. I know it sounds silly and like such a small thing, but they are both super sweet and i feel like, they are prepared to learn about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

OK, I am sure you would love to hear a little bit more about my companion! She is from Wyoming and she is the only child! So, Mom, I hope you dont mind adopting another girl into our family. :) We have a lot of fun together! She has really long pretty hair, she is a little taller then Hermana Rials. This is her favorite get-to-know-you question: If you could compare yourself to a fruit or a veggie, what would it be and why? With her, she would be a artichoke (we LOVE artichokes in our home, therefore we love her) because she has a lot of yummy layers and it takes a little work to get to her heart. :) She is so funny! We both share a lot for eating apples and peanut butter as well as bananas and peanut butter. We love being Goofy! We both love the color blue!  If she would marry anyone in the Book of Mormon, it would be Captain Moroni! I dont blame her because he is a big deal and he is great with leading, especially teenage boys!

 

I am so excited for this transfer, REALLY EXCITED! It is going to be so good and we are praying for and working for all the miracles! Se que vive mi Senor! Estoy muy agradecida por mi familia y por el Plan de Salvacion! Se que El Libro de Mormon es verdadera! Se que Dios nos ama! Gracias por la oraciones! LES QUIEROS! (perdonme si me espanol es muy mal) haha! :)

Hopefully you all got that... sorry, i dont know how to put little accents above the words and i might have spelt a few things wrong.    

 

I love you all! I pray that the Lord will bless you in all that you do! Thank you for your letters! Hopefully next week i will attach some pictures :)

 

LOVE LOVE LOVE.... HUGS HUGS HUGS!!!!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

 

Love always, forever,

Hermana Wadsworth
