August 10, 2011






Hello Family!
Well this week was really long haha I hate this week in the mission not going to lie. It's a very hard one to go without a p-day for 10 days but... we do it. :) It was quite a good week though. I had another tough day this last week where I was just sick of this area haha.. We got dropped by a girl named Tiffany and she seemed so happy about coming to church and everything. It's hard because she really enjoyed it and then I think someone said something to shake her belief in what we were teaching. I tried everything to get her to meet with us again. But No go :(. And we have a bunch of not quite prepared investigators right now and my attitude about it is, okay we'll move on then missionaries in the future should pick them up when there ready but Elder Slack is still kind of new and hasn't gotten rejected by as many people as I have haha so we continue to go over. Maybe something will come from them who knows. But we did have 3 investigators at church and of course.... testimony meeting went a little different then a normal one would haha... people seeing the face of god and such but it was okay we've had to do some damage control, nothing to bad. Oh and we finally got a Ward Mission Leader :) :) :) Im not alone haha but he is great he went with Elder Slack to 2 appointments last night while Elder Still (Canadian) and I went to another one of our appointments. Yesterday we taught 5 lessons which is not normal so its going well still with teaching and finding, we just gotta get the baptizing part down ;).
Today I went to the temple for the first time in 8 months :D It felt so good to go and make hear the covenants I made over a year and 4 months ago. I love the temple and I always feel the spirit so strong there. I would totally sleep there if it was allowed ;) But this week was a week of remembrance it seems like with Buddy passing away 18 years ago. He keep popping into my mind at the temple today and I know I'll see him again. If nothing else he would be the reason of me enduring to the end.
Thank you for all the letters sorry today is so short life is normal.. The mission is great. I love you all and I'll be seeing you

Love,
Elder Jonny Burton
