June 20, 2016: The grass is green, the sun is warm, and LIFE is GOOD!

Today I bought pants... but I am putting off wearing them until July 1st, when it is mandatory that Elder Barton has to use them! haha jk

Peñasco is better than ever. We have so many people progressing in the gospel, and we see miracles in the lives of the people everyday.  It is SO BEYOND incredible. 

The other day we were knocking doors, and a woman answered. She told me that she didn't believe in God. I asked her "Well, what DO you believe in?" She told me, "Death." I had no idea what to respond and said "HOW SAD!"  haha She was a little angry when I said it, but sometimes the truth hurts!  But really, how sad that someone believes in death. What is the point of life, if you are going to just die, the end. period. It is so amazing and comforting that we can know that death is just the beginning, the start to the life after death when we can return to life with our Heavenly Father one day and rest from all the things we had to face here in this life! 

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers who read this letter. I am especially thankful for my Dad and my Grandpa David. For their examples and friendship, and love!! And Especially grateful for my Heavenly Father. It has been amazing, during my mission the relationship that I have grown with my Father in Heaven. We can pray and talk to Him, and know that He is really here, with us, listening, waiting that we can talk to Him, and feel of His presence, and love for us!

I know that we ALL have a Heavenly Father that loves us, knows us, and blesses us each and every day!

Keep it real, People!! Love you all!! And when the going gets hard, just dance, and put your pinkies in your nostrils, and your thumbs in your ears, and breathe and repeat: 

"The grass is green the sun is warm." Then you will start to laugh. And remember that LIFE IS GOOD!!!  (word of wisdom from oh mi papito, Joseph Barton). 

Oceans of love,

Hermana Barton

Trying on pants??!!
