I don't know how people have such creative titles...It's kind of stressful...I give up.
Thanks for the updates! It's good to know that life still continues
even though I'm gone! Ha ha! but really... I hope Grandpa is doing
okay. :/ Sounds like Abbie is also recovering? How scary is that?! And
Amber is moving? Amy is still staying strong and good for Andy! Oh...and
Autumn...I always forget about her. Joke sis! Chillax! Stay strong til
the very end! (P.S. My Brazillian roommate was called to your mission.
Her name is Sister Lima so keep your eye out for her!)
Dad! You're like famous! I wish I was on TV as much as you. Hang in
there! I just remembered the story of how you kidnapped Mom while you
were dating. I'm pretty sure throwing your girlfriend in the trunk of
your car would send you to prison nowadays Daddy.... Heh heh. Mother!
You're so busy STILL! You should definitely have a spa day. :)
Let's see...what's going on with me...Well, I know why God didn't
send me to Asia! There is an oriental family in our ward. Chinese
language all up in dare.. I understood a speck of what they were
saying...and the foood. My mouth has never hated me so bad. No worries. I
stayed strong! But I love it here in Texas and I know this is where I
am supposed to be!
Let's see...more connections. I swear everyone knows someone who
lived in Morgan. So we went to a member's house for dinner and they had
some friends over. The friend asked where I was from and I said Utah. He
said "I'm familiar with Utah! I have a daughter who is moving to a
Mountain Green, Utah this week." Oh my puke "that's where I'm
from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" So their last name is Hansen if they happen to
be in our ward. He also has a sister who lives in Morgan (the Lubecks)
and his niece just happens to be Bailey Lubeck! I played tennis with her
and gave her rides home from BYU! Small world. She apparently got her
mission call so that's awesome. Small world in the church!
I KNEW he was going to pick Catherine!! Dez is the next
Bachelorette? I sooooo got you addicted Mom! HA! I apologize. Yes. Stay
strong. Just watch like the final two episodes with Dez...we want her to
pick a good guy. But you're right...you don't need to watch it and it
is very stupid. :) Which reminds me...I have found fellow Walking Dead
Fanatics in my district! It's kind of bad...I forgot my love for the
show and I have been reminded. Now I run around like a zombie...or
pretend like zombies are after us.... Sometimes we have these "think
fast" exercises where we say...A zombie walks through that fence and
starts eating Sister Perkins...What do you do? K...maybe it's not very
spiritual like but it prepares our minds for any emergency situation
right? Oh my spaz attack...back to real life.
What I have learned this week. Just how freakin' awesome the Book
of Mormon is! I mean...I've always loved the Book of Mormon but my eyes
have been opened AGAIN! It is truly the fulness of the gospel. It
relates so much to my life. It makes me feel so close to my Savior. It
gives me strength and comfort. It is such a powerful tool in conversion.
It is the EVIDENCE that this church is the TRUE church! and I
absolutely love it! I just want more time to read it and dig in! I know
that if we read that book everyday and feast upon the words...our lives
will just be better...in EVERY aspect. Papanwa...Thank you for the
messages you share every week. I truly love the scriptures and the
spirit I feel when I read them. Missionary work is fantabulous.
Sister Perkins and I taught Sunday School again and Mary loves it!
There were also a couple other nonmembers and now we have some new
investigators! So excited! :) Mary also came to watch a convert baptism
with us yesterday. She loves it all! She loves the church...but I think
she just thinks it's just another denomination. No worries. I love her
so much and will not give up on her! Everyone NEEDS this gospel and this
church...even if they don't know it. That's why I'm here...to help
people fill that hole in their hearts that they don't realize they have.
Peace and Blessings. Peace and Blessings.
Sister Barnes JR
