Email May 12, 2019 – Elder Jackson Kunzler Burton

Hey Everyone!

                  We had transfers this week! I'm still in Kushiro but I have a new companion, Elder Johnson! He's from Elkridge, Utah, and he came to the mission at the same time as me. He's an awesome missionary, he's way fun and hardworking. He does a really good Obi-Wan impression. It's gonna be a really fun transfer.

                  We also had an amazing district conference yesterday! Elder Chei, the Asia North Area president, came and spoke and it was such a powerful talk! I was really motivated to work hard and believe that miracles are coming! He talked about gratitude and finding joy through missionary and temple work and he said he doesn't know when he'll come back to Kushiro but when he does he hopes it will be a stake! I think him saying that was exciting for the members, Kushiro is still a fairly small district so it will take a lot of growth to become a stake but it can happen! I'm so excited to see that day.

                  That's about everything exciting for this week. We have zone conference on Friday so we've got to get ready for that. The sakura have just started blooming! I'll try and get some pictures today. It's still not as warm as I've been hoping, but today is sunny which is good. I hope it's warm and sunny wherever all you are! Remember to be grateful for all the good things you have. No matter how many things aren't the way we'd like, there's always more to be grateful for. We're all so blessed. Have a great week everyone! I love you!

Love,

Elder Burton
