Hola mi familia!
 
How is everyone doing?! I hope everyone had a great week. I sure do love you all and pray from you daily. This past week has been a fun one for me and i will tell you why, I HAVE AMAZING COMPANIONS! They are seriously such amazing missionaries and i am so blessed to work beside them. This week went by so fast for us! Tuesday we had interview with President Jergensen, he is such an inspired mission President. I am so very thankful to be serving in Iowa with him as my mission President and his sweet wife, Sister Jergensen. They are such a strength to me!  It is amazing that even though I am away from the comfort of home and family and friends, i feel like i am home here as well. I am so very blessed!
 
This past weekend, we went to Ottumwa to do exchanges with the Hermanas that are assigned there. BOY! was that drive pretty! We saw TONZZZ of rolling hills of CORN! haha! It was so crazy to see. And we saw all these cute little barns and horses and dogs... it was really fun because i have been in the city my whole mission and to see farm land and open spaces... it was great. I wanted to go frolicking SOOOO BAD! But we had to get to Ottumwa. One day i will go frolicking through the fields, it is officially  on my bucket list. I seriously love it here!!! Ok, question for you... who is from Ottumwa on NASH or is it MASH?!?! I cannot remember.   
 
So this past week was awesome with teaching people! We went to go teach on of our investigators and he lives in this house that has been divided up into apartments (like the bedrooms are the "apartments", but they all share the same bathroom and kitchen) that is how Latinos do it! I love it! So anyways, he wasnt there so we went to ask all the guys that were outside if we could share a message with them. There was about 7 grown men ranging from 20 to about 50ish i would say. We call them "Los Hombres" haha! we love all of them, they are so great. Anyways, we sat down on this table they have outside and we all had a discussion with them. Our branch mission leader was there with us to so we felt extra confident being with a bunch of men... haha! but anyways, it was so cool to hear all of there different beliefs and their stories about how they have come to know Christ. Hermano Santiago, our branch mission leader, bore such a powerful testimony about the Book of Mormon and they if they would read it, they will receive an answer, by the power of the Holy Ghost that it is true! It was so cool! A couple of them accepted the invitation to read the Book of Mormon!!!! SO COOL!
 
I am so very thankful for the Book of Mormon. These last couple of days i have been studying about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and I have been learning so much about it because of the Book of Mormon. i would like to invite you all to, while you are reading the Book of Mormon to see the changing and enabling power that comes from the Atonement.
 
I know that the Book of Mormon is true! I know that this is Christ true Church! I know that families are forever and that the grave is not the end! I love you all and i am so very thankful for your letters and prayers!!! I hope you have a great week!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
 
Love, Hermana Wadsworth
