Week 53: August 20, 2018 - Fasting with Faith

Well hello there awesome bestest family ever!!!

Wow, first day of school!!!! Cant believe it!!! You all looked so good in your pics!!! My companion Elder Fogg leaned over and said how you all looked so clean!!! hahahaha!!! I thought that was awesome!!

Awesome week this week!!!! We had a super neat miracle!!! We are teaching this one couple, Paula and Mario, who want to get married this month and be baptized as soon as possible!! We went with them earlier to the marriage place and the person there said that all the days were full but that they could try another time later during the month.

We visited Paula and Mario and decided to fast with them. Paula already knew what that was, but Mario didn't. We explained and they both got super excited about it. We all fasted. Paula said that the fast was difficult, but that she fought on. She said how she had never seen Mario so dedicated to something ever before!

They went back to the marriage place with high hopes. The lady working there began looking for a spot for them. After looking a while and printing some stuff out, out of nowhere, she found an hour window for them to be married! She said that of all the time she had worked there, that was the first time something like that had ever happened!!! So excited!!! Paula and Mario are so excited!!!

They began telling us how grateful they were for us and gave us a lot of credit. We couldn't accept that credit. We told them that we hadn't done anything and that it was God that had done everything. It was super neat and a super happy miracle!!!

Love you all tons!!! Hope you all have an amazing week!!!!

Love always,

Elder Barton

Dear Family, How y'all been?!?! You all look so good in your pics that you are  sending me! Seriously such an awesome family!!!!! It was an amazing Easter week this week. This week was sort of taken  over by meetings. We spent almost an entire day at a zone conference. It was actually super neat. Im really loving all the meetings we have  to learn and become better missionaries. One thing that our mission is  really focusing on right now is boldness. Its actually something I  really need to learn. Our president is amazing! He speaks to us with a  lot of power and authority. He told us that boldness was not being annoying or even forceful, it was teaching the gospel with clarity and  firmness. He said the way to develop that was be first, believing in  the gospel, then having faith, then repenting, then feeling the Holy  Ghost, then continuing with the process. It was basically the gospel  of Jesus Christ. I thought it was interesting...
