Dear Family and Friends,
For me this week has been a big focus on the Book of Mormon. Many things this past week have increase my testimony of this great book! On Thursday we went downtown street contacting with the zone. We had a goal to as a zone give away 60 Books of Mormon. We gave away a total of 88, my companion and Sister Jones gave away 20 of those in a 1.5 hour time frame. I talked to so many people who at first were hesitant. They didn't want to take the BOM, but then I testified to them about how much it has changed my life. I said that even if they didn't read it at that time that having a copy in their homes would bring them much peace and comfort. It would bring more blessings into their lives. Then they would be touched by the the spirit and take it. I know that even if they don't read it now, they have it now as a resource that God can direct them to in the future when they are a little more prepared to accept his gospel.
With the members we meet and teach whether its a dinner appointment or just a visit to get to know them better, we have been teaching them about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Then at the end we give them 2 Books of Mormon to write their testimony in. One of them they give back to us and the other they give away. We will give away the one they give us to someone else. Everyone is pretty excited to do this and we are excited to see waht miracles come from this. It will be awesome!
I invite you all to read the Book of Mormon and share your testimony of it with someone else, wheter it is a family member, friend, or random stranger. I know you testimony will be strenghtened if you do this. You will feel God's power stronger in your life and he will bless you with the specific answers you are seeking. I love this gospel. I know with all my heart it is true. This is the best work we can be doing, to share the gospel. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the light in this dark world.
I love you all!! Have a great week!
Love Sister Barton
P.S. The weather has been nice and warm, in the picture you can see not a lot of snow! However it did snow on Friday and the rest of the weekend, but just a little, no more than a few inches. :)
