This week was great! We had a baptism on Tuesday! the spirit was so strong! and it was a wonderful program! Everything worked out accordingly and it was so great! While she was getting dressed, we had a testimony meeting. It was very powerful. The spirit was very strong. It was a great success.

We met lots of potential investigators this week. We received a referral from the Elders and we went to contact her and she is interested in learning more about religion and what we believe! So we are so excited to start teaching her! And we were in Spring City this past week and we were visiting George F. and George's 2nd cousin and fiancé were there and we talked with them and we are going over to their house this next week and we are going to ask them to take lessons and we are super stoked for that! The Lord is definitely blessing us with new people to teach! God answers prayers! I know that for a fact!

Me, Sister Shurtleff, and Sister Turner are doing great! We had a really good, effective weekly planning this week and we are setting really good goals and new ways to go about teaching and reaching our potential! I just love them. I can't say it enough. I can really see Sister Turner and Shurtleff progressing. They are fantastic missionaries! with such desire to do the Lord's work! They are so great! Such wonderful examples to me!

As for me, I'm just working on becoming a more consecrated missionary.  I've come to know for myself that if we put our trust in the Lord, he WILL take care of us. He will lead and guide us to where we need to be, what we need to say. I've grown in my strength in talking with everyone! And our purpose is simply to invite others to come unto Christ! I love being a missionary! I've felt a happiness that I can't express and I know that I wouldn't be the person I am today, growing into the person that the Lord wants me to be, if I wasn't here on my mission. It has been a tremendous blessing.
Other than that, It was just the usual! haha.

I'm sorry for my short email too! not much happened besides the baptism! It was great! I love you guys and miss you!! have a great week!
Love always,
Sister Burr
