Tuesday: New Years Eve!!! We tracted into a crazy drunk lady at 4pm so we decided to stop tracting after that hahahah to be honest that sums up blairsville pretty well! Before that tho we tracted into a guy named Art who just moved here from Florida! He said he was actually looking for a church and that he thinks its so cool we just happened to knock on his door! He's so prepared!! We are going back this week so pray for him & us!!
Wednesday: New Years day!! We felt tracting wouldnt be the most productive thing because of all the hangovers so we heart attacked some of the people we are teaching & some members!! It was really good and they loved it! We left blairsville around 4pm to travel down the the city for our temple trip the next day!
Thursday: Temple Trip!!! Ohhh how i loveee to see the Temple!!! Going to the temple is such a good break from the world and everyday life! We had the privilege to do an edowment session as well as baptisms! Sister Venema & I got to be the witnesses for baptisms and it was so cool! I want to do that everytime hahaha! They had us sit in these tall chairs and watch over everything! So fun!! We also treated ourselves with cheesecake factory after and wow i couldnt be more blessed! It definitely felt good to be back in the city!!
Friday: we had a lesson with a guy named Luke that we knocked into earlier this week!! He has met with missionaries in the past and actually still has his book of mormon! We went over and read with him & it he told us that he still has been reading out of it and isnt sure why the missionaries stopped coming by! Really cool!! We also tracted into a family that we are going to start teaching!!
Saturday: we went to a part of our area that is pretty far so we packed lunches and spent the day out there!! We visited a few members and tracted so much!! We are really focusing our time on certain sections of our area & it is making all the difference!!
Sunday: we had church with our little branch & awe i love it!! We tracted all day again and in the evening we got transfer calls!! Sister white is leaving & Sister Venema & I are staying!! Wooo im really excited to have another transfer in blairsville with all the old people even tho this area can be VERY scary hahahahah
I am so blessed to be a missionary and excited for come follow me this year to be centered on the book of mormon. By reading the book of mormon we can learn more about our savior and draw closer to him. The teachings of the book of mormon are true and when we live them there is a gate of happiness that opens up to all of us! I am so grateful to be able to have this understanding for myself and I invite you all to keep reading the book of mormon everyday or as often as you can!!
Love Y'all ♡
Xoxo, Sister Barton
