Sister Kari Warburton: The Rain Came Down & Floods Came Up

Good Morning my amazing family and friends! It is such a beautiful morning here in Whitley, KY (: There's been a lot of flooding in TN, so hence the subject line haha

This week we had some pretty awesome lessons with amazing people! This week was also powerups so we got to spend the day with our super cool STLs (:

I found out my new favorite thing to do this week! On the app LDS Media they have hymns and EFY songs that are instrumental. I've started using that tool to sing to people and help invite the spirit in (: I love it. Also, in case anyone is curious, I've played guitar 4 times on my mission so far. My calluses are starting to weaken though.

Anyway I guess my spiritual thought this week is going to be on music. I'm the biggest believer that music is one of the best ways to invite and feel the spirit. The type of music we listen to can really affect our mood. Music either invites the spirit or offends the spirit. There is no in between. My challenge for anyone who is reading this email to pay attention to how you feel when you listen to your music. If you have music that you know you need to get rid of GET RID OF IT!!!!! Yes, I know, it has a catchy beat but the spirit is more important than a catchy beat. I would also challenge you this Sunday to try chastising your music. Instead of listening to your regular music try just listening to music that brings your thoughts towards the Savior. I promise it makes the sabbath more special of a day and you will see a change in your mood. Music is so powerful!!

I love you all and thank you so much for your emails and prayers! I really can't express how much I really appreciate y'all ♡ have a blessed week!
