BELIEVE - OBEY - ENJOY

HELLO HELLO!!!!!!!!

Guess what! I'm in a new area!! Crazy to leave Terre Haute...it will always have my heart! But this week has been so much fun and I'm loving campus...and Sister Griffiths...shoutout to Sister Griffiths haha:) 


This week I got to go on an exchange with sweet Sister Ostermiller. It was awesome! We had a super cool miracle happen too...okay okay it started when we went tracting....we found this sweet old lady named "J" who was going through a rough time...we got to talk to her and she became a great potential!! Well then we started contacting referrals that had never been contacted in the past and while we were reading the list of referrals, we realized that "J" was on there!! Crazy-she is meant to be taught :) We were super excited to find her:) 


And then there was Friday...probably my favorite day of the week. It was close to 70 degrees and we got to PC almost all day. And we found the coolest people! There was one guy named Chris who had met the missionaries on campus over two years ago, received a Book of Mormon from the Elders last week, had a Mormon boss, had a Mormon neighbor, and is super prepared. We were amazed at all the "coincidences" that we ran into while talking to him...he was amazed too! 


We also got to take "E" and "M", two recent converts, to the Temple on Saturday! There is nothing more powerful than seeing recent converts come to the Temple and do baptisms for the dead. I got to see some of my Terre Haute friends there too! BONUS:) I freaked out:)




SUPER pumped for this area - its a good one:) I came across the coolest promise in the scriptures to one of my favorite verses. Alma 37:6...
"By Small and Simple thing are great things brought to pass." 
Here is the promise found in verse 16, 
"But if ye keep the commandments of God, and do with these things which are sacred according to that which the Lord doth command you, (for you must appeal unto the Lord for all things whatsoever ye must do with them) behold, no power of earth or hell can take them from you, for God is powerful to the fulfilling of all his words." :) 

LOVE YA HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!

Love, Sister Burgon*
