Meeting Madeleine

Wow...where do I begin in this sweet story?

This is a story of an online proselyting mission...the ARIZONA PHOENIX MISSION.
It is the story of a sweet young leukemia patient, Madeleine, who reached out asking questions while she was in treatment in Phoenix Children's hospital a year ago.

First, she was referred to the loving care of Sister Brittany Larsen and her companion.

Then the area switched to Elders, namely Tyman Weiler and Harrison Wardle.  They continued teaching Madeleine...that is, when she was not teaching them!

Madeleine read the Book of Mormon several times, had great questions and was looking forward to being baptized when she was in remission.

 Brittany and Tyman and Harrison had never met her in person until yesterday...when they were all surprised at her appearance at a benefit Cure Search Walk they were participating in, in her honor!   An anonymous donor flew her over for the event and it was the best surprise ever!

 Oh how it warmed our hearts to see these four together...and there would have been more missionaries who could have joined in the celebration.

But this was a witness of the good that is happening when people get involved with people!

Madeleine has deferred enrollment in Juilliard school of music until her cancer is in remission.

 Here is Harrisons BYU Lacrosse team with the girls they walked for; Madeleine and Claire.


We had another miracle...the pouring rain halted just long enough for this walk to take place, seriously, it was one of those windows of heaven where the heavens stopped the rain just so a sweet daughter could participate in this walk!

And here is the APM connection all together after the walk.
It was an honor to be with Madeleine.  We ask you to join with us in praying for her recovery so she can be baptized and have the dreams of her heart fulfilled.

It was an honor to be with valiant RM's who didn't just love the Lord and His Gospel while they were serving, but who have made it an eternal quest to be more like Him.
WE LOVE YOU!!!  Taylors
