When life gives you lemons pretend that they are stress relievers and squeeze them but then you accidentally get lemon juice in your eyes which makes everything worse

This week felt so long, I don't even know what happened!! Haha! 

Monday seems like a millennia ago, but we just did the normal laundry and shopping and cleaning and stuff. 

Tuesday we had zone conference which was really good! We talked about planning for Christmas, so if y'all have any cool ideas for that it would be greatly appreciated haha!

Wednesday and Thursday we did the Normal missionary stuff like talk to all the people, teach lessons, visit members and all that jazz!

Friday we met this really cool family and they have 6 kids all under the age of 10. I mean.... It's CRAZY!! They are such a sweet family and they want to learn more!!! We Also did two hours of knocking doors which I was dreading, but I also planned it... soooo... XD It ended up being really good!! We were up at the top of this hill and I was stressing what to do or say because we were up at this HUGE house on like 300 acres of land. SO anyways we start walking up this driveway and these two GINORMOUS dogs come bounding down at us and I was absolutely sure that I was about to die. They came up and were just the sweetest, fluffiest, cutest dogs I had ever seen in my life and I just wanted to hug them and love them and take them home with me!! They were Bernese mountain dogs and I want some someday haha! Anyways, That was awesome and it made me less stressed when we went and talked to the person at the huge house! We also met another cool dude who said we could come back and just all the fun people! 

Saturday it snowed. 😩😩😩 Sister Nye has been praying for snow since she got here and I was just slightly bummed haha! I don't mind snow, however... in case y'all didn't know, It's only October and I just don't feel that it's okay to be snowing right now... haha! Anyways we passed out flowers in the parking lot of the one grocery store we have in our area haha! It ended up being a lot of fun and we were able to bring some smiles to peoples faces :) 

Sunday I was just waiting for it to be today so i could take a nap haha! It was actually a really good day and we had some really good lessons with a few people we are teaching. 

This week I felt the spirit a ton and I just love this gospel! I know that we are able to receive inspiration from God in our lives! I know that He loves each and every single one of us! I know that we are His children and that all things are done for our benefit!! Never forget that!!                              

I love you all so much!!

Love from,

Sister Warburton❤❤❤

The most finding I've ever done in my life

Wow.... What a week!

This week was wild. Tuesday and Wednesday was the New Missionaries/Trainers meeting up here at the Joseph Smith Memorial. Normally it's only one day but in October all the new missionaries and their trainers come and do a big service day where we clean up the camp and the grounds and put up the Christmas lights! It was tons of fun and we got to put up lights and rake a ton of leaves! A few of the elders got to go scrape mold of the roofs of some of the cabins at Camp Joseph haha! It was good.  Then Tuesday night we had a really fun fireside with hot cocoa, hot cider, s'mores, and all the fun spiritual things. It was a really good day. Then Wednesday was like a normal meeting with all the things I need to improve. It was kind of crazy being in the same room with all the other trainers because they were all like, "what if my trainee is doing this or this or this," and I was just like, "What if I have no idea what I'm doing!" It was just very humbling...

Thursday was just a normal day with nothing too exciting and Friday we went on exchanges! It was a lot of fun and Sister Strohl is just insane! Haha! She stopped a car in the middle of the road and he ended up talking to us for like 15 minutes! She found someone who lives in her area and wants to learn more, so that was pretty cool.

Saturday we did a lot of finding, Sunday we did a lot of finding.... Hopefully by the end of this transfer I'll be really good at finding new people to talk to! Haha!

With President Nelson's challenge to the women of the church, I've been thinking a lot about the Savior and about His atonement. As I've been reading the Book of Mormon and marking every reference to Christ I've come to slowly understand more and more what Christ has done for us! I know that hard times will come. The storms of life will hit, the pains and tragedies will come, we will all make mistakes, and it will be hard, but Christ can heal it all. 

"But just because spiritual trials are real does not mean that they are incurable. We can heal spiritually. Even the deepest spiritual wounds—yes, even those that may appear to be incurable—can be healed. My dear friends, the healing power of Jesus Christ is not absent in our day. The Savior’s healing touch can transform lives in our day just as it did in His. If we will but have faith, He can take our hands, fill our souls with heavenly light and healing, and speak to us the blessed words, “Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.” -Elder Uchtdorf

I know that this is true and the joy and peace we can find through Christ is real! I love you all so much and hope that all is going well!!

Love you!

Sister Warburton

How many things can you do in a week that you've never done before?

Wowowowowowowow!!! What a week!!

Wednesday we went and visited a million people before Sister Macbeth left and Thursday we drove to Manchester in order for Sister Macbeth to leave and me to get my new Companion!!!

I didn't cry at all, but now I'm missing Sister Macbeth a little more haha! 

My new companion is Sister Nye and now she has been out in the field for 4 whole days!! Haha! She is awesome!! She's from Ogden Utah and has a ton of excitement to be a missionary!!!

I don't remember a ton of fun stories from this week, but I did do graveyard finding, laundromat finding, and a ton of other things I'd never done before :) so that was cool!

Every day I have mini panic attacks, that the work in this area is going to fall to ruins and that everything that Sister Macbeth and I had done will burn up in flames because I have no idea what I'm doing and neither does Sister Nye, but then I remember that I have been called and set apart to be here right now and that the Lord trusts me, so I just need to trust him...

Psalm 125:1-2

"They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever."

I'm trying to be better and to have more faith in Christ because I know that if I do, as the scriptures promise, the Lord will be with me :D

I love y'all with all my heart!!

Love,

Sister Warburton :D

p.s. get excited for a flood of pictures XD
