We have several new Senior Couples, we just love them but of course miss those that left!
So my new companion is from the Philippines, Manila! She is in her 10th transfer and is the District Leader, so I have heard that I am pretty much one too.. So scary but with the 5 days I have had with her, they have been a blast! She is super sweet and hard working!! Oh and I am back on the square!
So for Halloween we closed the Square at 5 pm due to the fact that we don't have silly people come in and stuff. So we had a dinner at the church office building and afterwards we went to the temple. It was the best Halloween I have ever had. Sorry Mom, but the temple wins! I am not kidding when I say the WHOLE mission was there! It was such an amazing sight! Especially when we all made it to the Celestial room, I began to cry thinking about our purpose as missionaries. Going to the temple to seek for guidance not just for ourselves but for our investigators. BEST FEELING EVER!
So I just love serving here... it is a little bit of Heaven! The spirit is so strong and to see people come and visit. I love when my Mission President said "Sisters, everyone comes to the square for some purpose even if they don't know it!" They really do. Everyone is looking for something to better their lives.
We got some referrals from chat and they both were crazy weird/funny! There was a BYU student who came on and said hey I have a stranger that posted something on my FB wanting to learn more about the church... so here you go! So if you ever have anyone in mind, you can come on to chat and we can help you get the missionaries to your friends or family members all over the world!
Lots more to tell but it seems that I have run out of time!! Love you all and hope you are enjoying the weather!!
Keep up your personal missionary work! If it weren't for the members, missionary work would be very hard!!
Love you!!
Called to Serve
Last week was transfers.. her preparation days (p-days) are now on Monday.
She got to stay in the same apartment. She was glad she didn't have to move.
I got a couple of pictures from her....

From the Mission Blog...........
Temple Square closed at 5pm on Halloween and our mission gathered in the cafeteria area of the Church Office Building for a Potato Bar dinner. President Poulsen warmly welcomed everyone and introduced our new senior missionary couple Elder and Sister Burton. Afterwards we went to the 7pm Endowment Session at the Salt Lake Temple.
All 190+ of our Sister Missionaries looked beautiful dressed in white and it was a special experience to be together in the temple as a mission.
(As only a mom can do... I found Sister Tuckett's forehead! She is sitting on the right side of the picture... see the picture on the right side on the wall... the very bottom right corner of the picture is just above her. Her companion is leaning on her hand in front of her.)
