The other day we were contacting, and we taught a man and his cousin. When we were in the middle of the lesson, he looked at us and asked, "Do you know what God can't do?" We were very confused, and then he got super close to us, and whispered, "stop loving us." I almost wanted to laugh, it was super funny. But the more I laughed after, the more I reflected on the truth of the loco. God, no matter what, never stops loving us. He always has his arms outstretched to us, to return to Him, repent, and taste of His love and mercy.
Yesterday, a woman came to church with us. She is super awesome, and is stoked to come next week with her whole family. It was a huge blessing sparkle. It is awesome when we can teach families, so that they can be eternal families.
Hope life is more than good. Like my sister Liza says: Stay mega-stoked! Life and every experience we have is incredible!
Oceans of love,
Hermana Barton

Hna Lily. She did splits with us all the time and is a rockstar!She is always so happy and shining with joy!

My best friend, love her and admire her SO much! She changed my life in ways I can even begin to thank her for!
These girls are amazing! Two of my favorite companions who really taught me so much about the gospel, life, myself, and so much more. They are angles to me!
I will miss them SO much! They are the cutest! Like my fan club! jaja "Hermana Barton!!!"
Hermana Katrinas daughter! She and her little sister are adorable. I would ask her little sister to point to her nose, then mouth, and ears, then when I pointed to her whole face and ask her what it was she said.. Chamaca! jaja
Teresa! She told tonight that I was an angel. That because I try SO hard to have the spirit with me when I teach so that I can speak in Spanish and know what words to say, that for the spirit she could feel from me the first time we came, that is the reason she kept listening and eventually became converted! WOW! She is SO special to me! I love and adore her and all she has learned and changed in her life to be where she is today and be so happy!
