Dear Family and Friends :)
Happy Thanksgiving!! Canadian Thanksgiving that is!!!!
It's transfer week this week, but I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right where I am for another transfer. This week will be weird though because transfers are now on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays because the new missionaries coming in don't have enough time to get training from my mission president before they go out into the field.
This week has been a roller coaster of a week. It was a struggle, just because our area is struggling and I don't know what to do. I know I need to be patient with the Lord's timing, I was just having a hard time working really hard trying to find people to teach and find less-actives, but we haven't had much success this week. Then we decided to get priesthood blessings and that was just what I needed. In my blessing it said the Lord knows there is speedbumps in the work right now, but if I turn to my scriptures and prayer I will learn how to overcome them. That is something I'm working on trying to do right now.
This week my testimony was strengthened in the power of the priesthood and praying with real intent. When we went downtown street contacting this week Sister Jensen and I had 10 BOM's between the 2 of us. We made a goal and prayed for Heavenly Father's help to pass all of them out. And we were able to do so. We gave 7 away in the last half hour we had! It so amazing!! One guy I gave a book of Mormon to was reading it later as I walked by him again. The last person we gave a BOM to was actually a member who promised us he would give it out. When I got my priesthood blessing this week it was just what I needed. There were things said that helped me with things I hadn't told anyone I was struggling with. I know the God lives. That his priesthood power is here on the Earth and that he loves me so much. I know my prayers are being heard. I love this gospel so much.
I love you guys! :)
Love Sister Barton
