Yearning to Share

Hello again!

It's already my second week here. Time is going by so fast already and

I want to make the most of it!  This week was pretty slow with finding

new people to teach. Our new investigator, Brianna, has been out of

town all week so we're going to check up and see if she's back yet

tonight.

Btw, I've already decided I want to move here someday. Great people,

great area, and AWESOME ice cream (anyone ever had Loard's before?).

:)

It's been funny how many people I've met from Ukiah. Our roommate,

Sister Hernandez, grew up and is from Ukiah. We visited a less active

member and she is also from Ukiah. It's awesome to find these personal

connections!

Something interesting I've noticed is that my spirit is YEARNING to

share the restoration all day everyday. I would be able to share it

multiple times a day with people on Temple Square because there are

always people around. I just wasn't expecting to yearn this way. Yesterday

we shared the restoration with a couple sitting on a park bench. They

didn't want to learn more but my soul and heart felt so satisfied for

testifying. It's been interesting because you know when you feel like

you're spiritually lacking something, but I know WHAT it is my spirit

is missing. If that makes sense.

I absolutely love church. My roommates and companion look at me crazy

when I say happily, "I'm so excited for church tomorrow!!!" You really

appreciate something when you don't have it. I try to savor all three

hours of church but it goes by way too fast!

I want to share that I know the Savior's church has been brought to

the earth once again in these latter-days. I know that it is the

Lord's kingdom on the earth.  It is sure, reliable, and true. Our

Savior is at the head leading and guiding us, and we are able to

return to God's presence because of Him. I love him and I find

strength everyday from his sacrifice. The more you come to know him

the more your life will change. You find greater joy, peace, and

meaning in life. Share with someone the difference He has made in your

life this week.

I love you all! Keep pressing forward!

Xoxoxox,

Sister Butler
