The source of information and communication with Sister Madeline Thelin of the Puerto Rico, San Juan mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Hey Y’all AKA Hola a Todos,
I hope you’ve all been doing the #LightTheWorld or #IlluminaElMundo challenge the church put out this year and sharing the daily videos with your testimonies!! Aka, if you’re not doing that, well – I challenge you all to do it starting today. And tag me in your Facebook posts (Madeline Thelin).
This morning, we received an email from President Dixon of the California Redlands Mission. He announced that Madeline has been called to be a Sister Training Leader.
Hola a todos! (Hello everyone!)
Last week my cute companion got hit HARD with a cold, which isn’t easy for her because of other health issues, so we spent a lot of it in the house or doing work online. It makes me laugh looking back to last week because I definitely went a little crazy from being inside so much. But I do think it was good for us, we got a lot of organizing done for our work.
Hola a todos!
Disculpa por la carta chiquitita, pero no tengo mucho tiempo hoy por causa de una actividad que hicimos. Pero aquí hay fotos de cuando yo encontré un gato y le dio salchichas. Él se llama Tommy.
Hola a todos (Hello everyone),
Yeah, sorry. Didn’t write for a while. Personal problems. Blah, blah, blah. But I’m back 🙂
Alicia, Madeline’s mother, was able to have lunch today with Hermana Peter, the sister from New Guinea who was Madeline’s last companion in Puerto Rico. Sadly, I have a pretty bad cold that I don’t want to give anyone, so I stayed home. I am looking forward to next time when I’ll be able to meet this valiant daughter of God in person.

I am not very happy right now. Why you may ask? What can make a missionary in sunny southern California with a baptism planned and a birthday coming up unhappy? Well, I’ll answer it plainly to you all: bed bugs. Bed FREAKING bugs.
Hola a todos <hello everyone>!
I think you could officially call me an islander because let me tell you, it is FREEZING cold in this sunny little part of Southern California. Temperatures of 75-85 degrees just aren’t cutting it for me, and I think I know why: I’m missing the warm blanket of humidity.

In Madeline’s new mission, they are testing some new ways to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Soon she will have a smartphone and will be using social media. This doesn’t mean that she can take calls or texts or interact the way she will when she is done with her mission. Madeline is dedicated completely to sharing the Gospel and leaving other things behind until her time as a missionary is done.
This leads to some important guidelines for interacting with Madeline if you see her in different online forums. Below is the letter we received from the mission president. They also posted this online, so it is okay to post here.

Alicia found information from Sister Smart (wife of President Smart of the Puerto Rico mission) on Facebook and Instagram along with some pictures (Madeline is in all of them) from just after Hurricane Maria. It is great to see how the Lord works and how much love there is for the people and missionaries.
