Hi everyone, first of all I just want to say I love you all so much. Like truly I feel so blessed to be apart of this family. I have grown up with loving parents who helped me become who I am today so really just thanks. I love you all with my whole heart. Seeing some of the people here in the Philippines has really opened up my mind and my eyes to the way some people are raised and the way some people live and it is just really sad.. It actually kind of breaks my whole heart.. So thanks Jay and Tina for being the best parents alive :)
Sooooo TRANSFERS!!! We found out transfers yesterday! (for some reason I always find out early...) But last night as we finished planning I receive this text from President Ostler, "Sister Barton, after much prayer, you are being called to serve as a Sister Training Leader. The other Sister Training Leader will be Sister Laug-laug. You will continue to be companions with Sister Tekanene but you and Sister Laug-laug will do exchanges with the other sister and will teach zone meeting together. You will also come to MLC together while Sister Tekanene and Sister Laug-laug's companion work together. I know you will do a marvelous job. Love, President Ostler"
So I have been called to be a Sister Training Leader!! I'm so excited, but i'm kind of freaking out because It is a really big responsibility and I'm not quite sure if i'm ready for it. But if the Lord thinks I am, then I guess I am. Sister Laug-laug is in my kabahay (she lives with me) So usually the Sister Training Leaders are companions, but this time it is Kabahay so that's a little weird. I'm very excited tho and I know I will learn a lot.
This week has been really good. I don't have much time because we had an activity and it ran really late, so I will email more next week, but I had amazing experiences today and I feel blessed for the many tender mercies and miracles Heavenly Father shows me everyday.
I love being a missionary and I love you all so much. Thanks for the example you show to me. I will email more next week, but remember to chose the right and be happy!
Mahal ko kayo!
Sister Barton
That's so cool Makell is a sister training leader. They didn't have those in my mission at the time I was serving. I would have loved to be able to do splits with other sisters. It would have broken up the time with our companions. At the time there just wasn't enough of us girls out to do it. Oh how times have changed!
