Sister Kari Warburton: Will You Sign My Book of Mormon?

Hello amazing friends & family! This is what happened this week! It was a pretty good week 😊

🍁Monday: We went to a really good ice cream shop called Clumpies. 10/10 would recommend

🍁Tuesday: We had a lesson with a recent convert! He gave us peanut butter M&Ms and a bunch of other candy so pretty much he is my new favorite person. He was also able to get the priesthood on Sunday which means we will get to attend the temple with him soon!!

We also knocked on a persons door who asked us if we could sign his Book of Mormon 😂 He has all the missionaries who stop by sign his book. I honestly thought he was going to bash us but he turned out to be pretty cool! Wasn't interested but still cool

🍁Wednesday: was district council. We also had a lesson which went up in flames... 😣

🍁Thursday: We had a lesson with an awesome guy named Gary! We asked him if he had read 3n11 from the Book of Mormon and he said he had! He then told us how he also started from the beginning! What an overachiever!

🍁Friday: we went tracting all day and it would not stop raining. My favorite pair of shoes got ruined so if someone would like to start a GoFundMe for new shoes for Sister Warburton I would not be mad 😂 (just kidding please don't do that)

🍁Saturday: We had a lesson with a 9 year old and we watched a bit of the restoration. The spirit was so strong! That family is amazing ♡

🍁Sunday: We had dinner with a member, Noel, and she has a cute baby boy. He is so cute!!

This week I would like to talk about repentance.

President Nelson said: "When Jesus said ‘repent,’ His disciples recorded that command in the Greek language with the verb metanoeo. This powerful word has great significance. In this word, the prefix meta means ‘change.’ The suffix relates to four important Greek terms: nous, meaning ‘the mind’; gnosis, meaning ‘knowledge’; pneuma, meaning ‘spirit’; and pnoe, meaning ‘breath.’

“Thus, when Jesus said ‘repent,’ He asked us to change—to change our mind, knowledge, and spirit”

Literally when we are asked to repent we are asked to change our breathe. I've been pondering about my mission, and I didn't realize it, but I started to become bitter not better. After a snarky door I would make a snarky comment about that person to my companion thinking it would help me feel better. It honestly doesn't. Just because someone is rude to me doesn't mean I have to be rude back behind their backs. Sometimes it's hard to love someone who is screaming at your face that your belief is wrong but that's what Christ would do. I found that even if people reject our message we have that common belief in Jesus Christ & if we steer the conversation towards that common ground we both leave the doorway feeling edified

Have a great Halloween this week!! Love y'all!

Also in case anyone was counting down I hit 11 months today (;
