I often struggle to begin these letters, starting things has always been a difficult thing for me to comprehend I guess. I remember when I was little and I would watch movies, I had the hardest time figuring out how the heck people ever knew how to start a movie, It's a hard task if you think about it. Anyways, this week has been good here in the life of Sister Emily Barnett.
Each week in the mission field I learn so many things about myself as an individual and every week my love for other people grows a little bit more. I had an amazing experience with a receent convert the other day. We talked about trials and how God has literally delivered her out of bondage so many times, she reminded me a lot of my mom and similar struggles she has gone through. As I see other people in situations that I am so familiar with, the Lord allows me to recognize that change is possible. We are Human and we can change. Each and every one of us. The atonement is so real and I am grateful for this opportunity that I have to witness it in peoples life, and especially my own and my family.
I am so happy to hear that everyone is doing well, I pray for each of you like a million times a day. I pray that the Lord will continue to bless you all.
We were able to go to the Altanta temple this week for zone training, it was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to go again. My heart aches to be back within the walls of the temple. At sone training we talked a lot about the vision to baptize- as we view all people as they can become, dressed in white in the water of baptism! I left that day feeling edified and wonderful about the work of the Lord.
We have had some wonderful lessons with the Johnson family this week! They will be getting baptized on Saturday!!!!! I get emotional just thinking about them and the changes we have seen with in them the last few weeks. They are amazing and I hope to be like them some day! I have loved watching their family grow closer through the gospel, they comment every day how much happier their life is now. Tonight we will be attending the 3 FHE with them, I am so excited :)
I know the gospel brings families closer together, and I know that the Gospel can bring my family closer together as well... It already has in so many ways.
I love family!
I should probably get going so I can write a few more emails... just know that I love all of you more than anything but more importantly I hope you know how much Heavenly Father loves all of you. Find ways to have missionary experiences!
Love,
Sister Emily Barnett
