April 4, 2013



Dear family,

We got to help out last Tuesday at the 183rd anniversary of the Book of Mormon being published. We helped take tours at the Grandin while the senior couples acted out scenes from the time period. It was a lot of fun! I'm so grateful for the Book of Mormon. IT'S SO TRUE!!!!!!

All of the new sisters are ALL STARS! Elder Searle had all of them bear their testimonies at site meeting and the Spirit was so strong! A lot of them are here because of the age change, which their testimonies were proof of how inspired the change was. Through all of that day, I kind of forgot that was my 9 month mark! Ha ha I'm grateful that I didn't have a lot of time to think about it. I don't want my mission to be half over, but I guess I don't have any control over that. Time just keeps on moving forward, that's for sure!

As for work in my area, we've had the opportunity to go tracting quite a bit (ha ha yes, I'm trying to build a better attitude about it by calling it an opportunity). We definitely need to find more people to teach, and Heavenly Father has blessed us by putting us at the right place at the right time. We've been able to find TONS of people at home and talk to them and teach them about the Book of Mormon. A couple of times we've been knocking on a door and the person will drive up to their house to come home right as we are doing that so we get to talk to them.

Wasn't Easter Sunday so great! I hope you had the opportunity to read "The Living Christ." I got to a couple of times that day. I am so grateful for the knowledge that He lives! Because He lives, I feel like nothing bad that happens matters because through His atonement we can find peace and the power to move forward. 

Anyway, I'm about out of time, but I just want to let you all know how I know Heavenly Father is leading this work. He is blessing me with patience where I normally wouldn't have it and fills my mouth every day with what to say every day. 

I love you all so much and thank you for your support! I seriously couldn't do this without you all! I love you and miss you so much and pray for you all the time! Keep on reading your scriptures and praying!

Love, love love!

Sister Butters
