Dear Family, April
23, 2013
Things are going well here in San
Clemente California!
As you know, Kirk was baptized on
Saturday! That was very special! I feel so blessed that I was able
to be a part of this miracle! He literally walked into church, and a
month later his eyes were shining as he came up out of the water, a new and
clean man. It was very amazing, and the ward was very supportive!
Also, his nonmember kids came, and his daughter liked it, and well we
haven't heard what his two sons thought yet, but I am sure they felt the
Spirit!! :)
WOW!!!!! AMERICA'S GOT TALENT!!!
Oh my goodness!!! That is super exciting! Good luck to all of Varsity,
let them know that I said good luck! :) I'm sure it will be an
amazing experience, please tell me all about it, and take as many pictures as
you can!! And think of me and how close we are! And no, I don't
think I'll get homesick, even though you are so close, and so is grandma and
grandpa and Karson, Easton and Natalie and Kyle. I think that it is
wonderful! :) And dad, have fun staying busy! :) It will be
a great week I can feel it!
So, this past week has been
pretty good. On Saturday we helped out with the youth conference service
project which included painting a railing, and that was a lot of fun. And
I got paint all over my arm, and when I led the music at the baptism, some of
it was still there so I am sure that may have been a little interesting! ;)
But it was a great opportunity to serve, and we will be serving again
this Saturday, they do something called "Mormon Helping Hands" here
in Cali, and well, that is this Saturday and we are looking forward to that!
Right now we are looking for more
investigators and really trying to serve the ward. Amanda, who we used to
teach, asked us not to come by, because she needed some time to think.
We are praying that she may realize that she is missing something in her life
and that piece that she is missing is the gospel! Angie, is up in the
air, we'll be talking to her tonight and well, she is so ready, she just
doesn't fully understand why she needs the gospel.
I feel so blessed that we have
always had the gospel, and that my testimony continues to grow each and every
day! My mission is such a short period of time, there is much to
accomplish and much work to be done. This week I am working on being more
bold, not being so afraid to share what I know to be true. So far, it has
already helped a lot, and I know that I will continue to be able to be bold
like Alma and Ammon as I open my mouth!!
So, I hope this week goes well
for you, I hope that you stay close to the scriptures, and I love that you are
watching conference! :) It was an amazing session, once the Ensign comes
out, and if we get one, I want to try and go through a talk maybe every week,
along with my notes so that I can see what the Lord would have me do to improve
my life and bring me closer to Him!
This upcoming week should be a
good one, we are going on exchanges tomorrow, and I’ll be staying here!
So I'll be a little bit more in charge, since I know the people and the
families! I'll tell you all about that next week! Also we have a zone
training next week and then zone conference the week after, so that will be
fun! I love being able to see more and more missionaries! :)
The gospel is true. Jesus
Christ is our Savior. We do have a Father in Heaven, and He wants us all
to be able to return to Him. Think this week about one thing that you can
do to come closer to your Savior and your Father in Heaven, then do it!!! :)
I Love you all! I am seeing
the Lord's hand in my life each and everyday! I hope you are as well!!
Keep smiling and trusting the
Lord.
Philippians 4:13 :)
I love you!!
Have an amazing day and a grand
week!!!! :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!
Love,
Sister Taylor Burningham
