BUENOS DIAS!!!

OH HOW SWEET THIS WORK IS!!! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!!! IT IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! EVERY MINUTE!!!!  Ok, I hope that you can really feel my excitement that i have for this work. I really, really REALLY love being a missionary! This morning, I woke up on cloud 15 just super-duper happy to be a missionary! I have felt this way for a while, but today i feel like i am bursting at the seams!

 

This past week was a good one. We are looking for a new apartment because the 1st ward is getting 2 sets of missionaries and our apartment is in 1st area so we are getting the boot. Which is ok because we dont really work around where we live. We are looking for a more central location.  So, hopefully by today or tomorrow we will know for sure which apartment we are going to move to....

 

Ok, so on Saturday, we had a service project with all of our district to go help out at the Iowa games... YAY! Saturday was running and cycling which is good because like 2ish weeks ago, we did service for the Iowa game and we kept score for basketball from 7:30 in the morning to 8:30 at night with about 5 mins breaks in between each one... I am ok to not do that again... haha! But aways, so we were outside and all of a sudden, all of these clouds started rolling in... and they were greenish (which is sign for a Tornado!!) It was POURING RAIN SO BAD! I was DRENCHED!!! And since we are obedient, crazy missionaries, i backed out our car... which means I was even more drenched. HAHAH! It was so fun through... afterwards, it was scary at first cause we thought it was a tornado. Mer! It was nothing.

 

So, last night, we had such a great lesson with some former investigators! The Spirit was so strong and Hermana Baird and I just left that lesson on cloud 20! Since I am a really slow typer, I cannot write the whole staroy, but i will write a part of it that I think will really help everyone who reads my emails. Jose and Carolina are their names, they have 3 beautiful girls! Jose, after the lesson was over for the most part he said "I cannot change..." We then asked him. "Jose, do you believe in Jesus Christ?" He said, "Yes!"  Then Hermana Baird and I bore testimony that we really can change, we can become better people through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We can pray and ask for help to change and He will help us. I know that this is true with all of my heart! I have seen it in the life of my family, in the life of others and in my own life! No matter what we have done, Jesus Christ still invites us to "Come unto Him". He loves us so very much! He desires for our happiness more than anything.

 

I know that this Church is true! I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God sent to us so that we will know that Jesus really is the Christ, what greater than out of the mouth of two or three witnesses?! :)

 

I love you all! Have a great week! XOXOXOXOX

 

Love, Hermana Wadsworth
