Oh Say Can You See

Hey Family (read in Mason's voice), 

Well it's been another great week in the Green Valley YSA. Something I really love about YSA is all the great activities. This week we went to FHE, Book of Mormon Club, institute, and the Relief Society (herbal) Tea Party! President wants us to focus on strengthening the members and helping them reach out to their friends. So part of that is going to the activities. It has been really fun and a lot of the members have said they really like seeing us there and it reminds them to share the Gospel. 

This week was also the first "Outreach Night" for the ward. It is organized by the ward mission. It is a night where we go out and visit less-actives or new move ins. Anyone is welcome to come and it is really fun to go on splits with the members. 

We have a new investigator this week, and have been working with recent converts! There is a potential investigator that we are working with and really want him to become a new investigator. We stopped by a few times this week but he wasn't home. We drove by his apartment on the way to the church and the spirit prompted me to turn around to go see Andrew. Sister Curry had the same prompting, so we turned around and lo and behold Andrew was home. He said he was interested in learning more and we set up an appointment with him for this week. :) 

We also sang the National Anthem with Sister Tayco, Sister Scott, and some of the youth in the stake for the Maple Valley Veterans Day Dinner. It was a lot of fun and we were able to have dinner with the Veterans and talk with them. I am really grateful we were asked to sing because it helped us get to know more people in the community and it was great for them to be in the church building and to meet the missionaries. 

I love Sister Curry so much. This week I have really noticed how strong her testimony is of the Savior's Atonement. It carries her as we teach and work in unity. I have been so blessed on my mission with amazing companions. I have loved every one of them! 

This week I was studying "By Divine Design" by Elder Rasband. It is amazing how Heavenly Father guides our lives and I have come to see that his hand is in everything. I know there is no coincidence that I am serving in Washington at this time. I was led here by the spirit! One of my favorite quotes from his talk is "When we are righteous, willing, and able, when we are striving to be worthy and qualified, we progress to places we never imagined and become part of Heavenly Father's "divine design." Each of us has divinity within us. When we see God working through us and with us, may we be encouraged, even grateful for that guidance."

Much Love,

Sister Wynder
