Hey Everyone!

                  This week has been great! Last week we met a young man who was interested in English, and we were able to meet with him earlier this week and he brought a friend! We did an FFEP(free family English program) lesson with both of them which is half an hour English and half an hour about the gospel, and for the gospel part we talked simply about God and prayer and invited them to pray and they said they would. After the lesson they both participated in karate night, which a member runs, and they had a great time interacting with members, missionaries, and other nonmembers. We're hoping they'll continue to progress!

                  We also had a branch family home evening on Saturday night that went really well. It wasn't planned very far in advance because the member who was in charge of it was out of town, but it all came together and ended up really fun. I taught everyone a game I learned at Camp Loll that you play with a coin called Slammers and Sliders, they really enjoyed it.

                  There was another miracle this week that was small but I thought it was cool; on Sunday morning we ran out of rice, and we weren't sure what we were going to eat that evening, usually we can eat noodles or pasta but we were out of pretty much everything so in our morning prayers we prayed that we'd have something to eat. We could've scrounged around and made something work but it wouldn't have been ideal. But after church we had a lunch with branch, and they gave us the leftover rice and it was just enough for the four of us for dinner. I know God watches out for us and hears our prayers! It doesn't matter how big or how small, if you pray with faith He will answer in His own way and in His own time. I love you all, have a great week!

Love,

Elder Burton
