Letter #77

Letter Just To Family This Week:

Not much time today, so I am only going to be able to email the family! We had so many amazing miracles happen this week! As weird as it sounds, it is very humbling! It makes you realize really how little we as missionaries do. Heavenly Father does all of the work!
I just got back from dropping off elder near. I have to say it was really hard! I am going to miss him so much! But not really because I know that I will see him again. I consider him one of my best friends. He said he wants to come down to cali and visit when I come home! He is going to school in idaho so it really would not be that far.
I have one story from the week that I must share with you!
So this week me and elder mok were doing service in the park. We were laying down wood chips along all of the borders of the park. Me and elder mok were having a great conversation then all the sudden elder mok went dead silent. I looked up to see his eyes fixed on the ground between us. I looked down to see the wood chips we had just layed moving... Elder mok's  look of intensity slowly turned into a look of fear as it became more and more evident that this moving creature was getting closer and closer to the surface. Finally, a small furry head popped out of the wood chips! It was a New York city rat! I was not able to look at it long because as soon as elder mok identified the situation he let out the cry of a Hong Kong warrior and decapitated the animal with his shovel. I have never seen such speed and accuracy in all of my life. Elder mok is a great example of one that is always on his toes.
I am now with elder mok, and elder huang! elder huang is from taiwan I really like him alot! I am now the only white guy in the china town district! I have no idea what I am going to do! ha! It will be good for me. Put the hair on my chest that I have been waiting for my whole life! haha!
I love you guys! I hope you have a great week!
Elder Barton
