I Stand All Amazed!!

January is almost over! We can do it!! Just a couple more days!
 
Transfer calls were this Saturday & I found out that I am staying in the area that I'm at but getting a new trainer (: 

We've been teaching a lot of people lately and most of the lessons have been going good (: We met with this amazing lady named Kay yesterday and she told us that she feels like she's missing something in her life and she doesn't know what it is but she's been praying to God to figure it out. My fingers are crossed that she'll understand that the thing she's looking for is the gospel. She's so awesome though; we taught her the Plan of Salvation and she was like "This makes more sense than what they teach in the Baptist church!"

Lately I've been working on giving my full self to Christ and becoming perfected in Him. Moroni 10:32 is pretty much my new scripture. Most of my life I tried to find perfection in worldly things but the only one who can help me fully change is Christ. Nothing in this world can change me like He can. I can see changes taking place in me already. Come unto Christ and be perfected in Him! 
Boyd K. Packer said: "The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior" 

It's so wonderful that we have the gospel of Jesus Christ here on this Earth today! Have a joyful week! I love you all ♡

I love to see the temple!!

Hello amazing friends and family!! 
My pday got switched to Wednesday because we went to the temple! It was soooooo good & that's the strongest I've ever felt the spirit in the temple before (: 

Beside the cold, it was a pretty good week! We actually got a little bit of snow on Sunday. 

Lately I've been studying Revelations (thank goodness for institute manuals!!) There's some pretty good stuff in there. It makes me excited for the second coming (: It was cool because we were talking with someone about Revelations and she was saying how she just didn't understand it and she asked a preacher why they don't preach about it and the preacher said that he didn't understand it either which is understandable because the Jospeh Smith Translation clears a lot of things up! Something that I read and liked was that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only church that can offer the Celestial kingdom. Any other church can only offer the Terrestrial kingdom. 

This gospel is so amazing and I'm so grateful that I have it in my life! I'm grateful for my parents who taught me about it and have been great examples to me ♡ I'm also so grateful for my Savior who is my perfect bestfriend & brother. Life would have no meaning without Him 

Thank you for your prayers, love, and support! I love you all!! ♡♡♡♡♡

Love, Sister Warburton

The Spirit Of God

Hello Everyone (: It has been another week, and it's been a good one! 

Just a little outline of the highlights of the week:
Monday: I had KFC in Kentucky!!

Tuesday: We helped at a woman's shelter for 2 hours. This day was super cold!

Wednesday: We helped out at a food bank and they gave us pizza afterwards! 

Thursday: We tracted this one street and every awkward thing that could happen happened! (Ex. Kid crying as we're talking, person parked in their driveway while on the phone, person driving up as soon as your about to leave, dogs barking, ect. All on the same street) 

Friday: We had powerups!!! 

Saturday: WE HAD A BAPTISM!! IT WAS SO GOOD!!

Sunday: Church (: and Sister Hess had a prompting to go down a road. It was a long road but there was eventually a house and they were interested (: always follow promptings my friends. 

Alma 15: 16-18 (Read It!!) 
God will give us what we need when we need it. Sometimes he'll send people to help comfort us or sometimes it will just be the comfort of the Holy Ghost. God is very aware of you and your circumstances. You are NEVER alone though. Trust in his timing. He sees the bigger picture "When life gets too hard to stand, kneal" 

I love you all! Thank you for all your prayers, emails, letters, and support ♡ 
Stay safe, pray for strength, and read your scriptures (:

Love, Sister Warburton

Come, Follow Me

How was everyone's first week of the new year!? This week was pretty great (: 

First things first, the new Come, Follow Me curriculum is amazing!! If you haven't started yet, you should (: Do it with your family, do it with your friends, do it with your roommate(s) JUST DO IT!! 

On Tuesday we were tracting and this cute puppy came out of nowhere! It was so adorable! It would follow us as we went up to people's doors (I'll include a picture of it). We also got a date for a baptism!! 

Thursday was new missionary orientation. It was good to see the missionaries who I came out to the field with again (: 

Saturday we were going to go to the temple but everyone got sick :/  We went tracting and we found this beautiful hidden neighborhood with a lake and golf course. The sun was out shining and it was so peaceful! Everything definitely happens for a reason and it's all in God's timing. 

Sunday (yesterday) was fast Sunday and also the first 2 hour church! It was sooo good! While me & Sister Hess were tracting while we were fasting and the sun was still out shining and we found like 5 people!! Fasting works my friends (; 

I was reading a talk by Elder Utchdorf this week: Believe, Love, Do and this part really stood out:
"The love Jesus spoke about, however, isn’t a gift-card, throwaway, move-on-to-other-things love. It isn’t a love that is spoken of and then forgotten. It is not a “let me know if there is anything I can do” sort of love.
The love God speaks of is the kind that enters our hearts when we awake in the morning, stays with us throughout the day, and swells in our hearts as we give voice to our prayers of gratitude at evening’s end."

That's the kind of love God has for us! He's thinking about us constantly and waiting for us to turn to him. I read a quote this week that said "When we loose ourselves in Christ we find ourselves" 
How amazing is it that we can wake up everyday with a new chance to become closer to God and try again!? Knowing that through Christ we can do anything. (: 

Hope every has a great week!

~Love Sister Warburton
