Now there are TWO Sis Walton's:)

Hi!
I hope everyone is doing well! I cannot believe Sadie is on a mission now!  So exciting! Off to Independence, Missouri in a couple days:) Makes me so happy!
 
These last few weeks have been a bit crazy. Exchanges, Interviews with Mission Pres and meeting some wonderful people! Last week we stopped at Jack-in-the-Box and this man (Empris) called out to us. He knows like EVERYTHING about the church and has a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and knows Joseph Smith restored Christ's church back to the earth.  Used to be a Baptist preacher. He is planning on getting baptized on Feb 8th! He is absolutely crazy, and we've been meeting with him at Jack-in-the Box bc we think he is homeless? Anyways...good thing my comp wanted to stop in JitB that night:) That was a miracle!

Something that I have come to realize these past few weeks is that life is really so much easier if we follow the gospel of Christ. When we resist and/or don't follow His commandments, we are not happy and end up struggling. Anyways, I LOVE YOU ALL!

Ohhh- another miracle of the week - I lit a candle with ONLY ONE match.
Yes, usually takes me like an average of 5-10. So..I posted a picture to remember this.

XOXOOXOXO,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


Hi!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! These past few weeks have been a bit weird with the holidays as everyone has been going out of town, etc, but its been fun! I love being out here! And I was able to skype with my beautiful fam on Christmas! I cannot believe Sadie is going on a mission NEXT WEEK! Time flies. She will be amazing! 

On Christmas we were all at the church for a while and then at a member's home. I have a cute new comp - Sister Ashlee Long! She is from Idaho and is 19. We had a mini missionary with us last week, who was 16. Sort of like being with my sisters since they are the same ages...?

I love being out here! We are teaching some wonderful people about Christ, and it is so fun! I love it!

I love you all! Hope you have a wonderful week!

XOXOOXOXOX,
Sis Walton
