About Mattie
Missionary Scripture: Alma 26:37 Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen.
My little sister is an amazing human being. She's smart, beautiful, and she has an amazing testimony of our Heavenly Father and the LDS church. That testimony didn't necessarily come to her easy though. She has had trials and struggles to gain that testimony. This is what I honestly think will help her to be such a good missionary. Along with this she is very relatable. Megan and I have often talked about how many times when we call to talk to her she never talks about herself. She is so interested in what is going on with us, and she genuinely cares about it. She is one of the best listeners that I have ever known. Needless to say she has many Christ-like attributes.
Now I could go on much longer about all of the wonderful things my little sister has done, and trust me she has done many wonderful things, but I don't feel like the words that I could say would be as eloquent as this song. I feel like in general this song describes missionary work. Many people are, "changed for the better" because they knew a missionary. I know that personally I have been changed for the better because I knew Mattie. I also know many people more people will be able to say that they've been changed for the better because of Mattie as she serves in the Dominican Republic.
