DAD! I swear I have been sending you my emails! Sorry I'm such a space case. And I've decided I'm basically the worst updater in the world. Other missionary's updates are not like mine! Whatevs. Dis is what ya gonna get. AUTUMN!!! I can't believe you're out there with my favorite Brazilian roommate!!! AHHH! I love her! Watch out for my little Nayane okay? Hopefully you can understand her better than I ever could. :) heh. But really.
I have nothing really exciting to say this week. It was a rough week. And I didn't run into a tree this week. But since this week was so slow.... more than anything, it just made us sisters want to work harder. We made a plan to work our guts out until we drop this next week. I am determined so basically that means that nothing is going to stand in my way. But only because of the Lord's help of course. :) I love Him.
Did it really snow in Utah today? It's already starting to get hot and humid here. It's only April. But it sounds like home life is still going well! :) I loooove Mountain Green. I love Texas but there are no mountains whatsoever. I'm lost....all the time. Sister Robinson and I are both obsessed with Mountain Green. We are truly blessed to live where we do!
Mom- you were blessed to have such wonderful parents. But so was I. I can not even express my appreciation and love for you Mom and Dad! So you can expect a letter soon of me trying to do so. I just can't believe how blessed I am in my life. I have really come to understand about what is important in life. I am so grateful for everything I have! God has been very good to us.
I know Mom! You would think the flu shot would prevent the flu! I'm thinking maybe it was food poisoning? But we couldn't figure it out, because we all ate the same things. Whatever. It's over now! :) I started taking vitamins. I know I know. Look out world. FINALLY. You've been trying to get me to do that for years! Well it's happening now! Have you ever seen so many exclamation points in your life? I'm getting a little excited here.
I love what Auttie was saying about how people cross the street before she walks past. SAME HERE! Everyone knows who we are! When finally someone opens the door, they reject us before I can even say a word! I looked in the phone book to see all the different churches. seven. full. pages. of different churches here. I am definitely in the world of bible belt.
I just can't express my love for this gospel enough. I love it so much and I know it is true with every fiber of my being. Like Sister Barnes Sr said...I wouldn't be out here putting up with all the persecution if I didn't know it. I can't help but to cry every single time I recite the first vision because I just know in my heart that Joseph Smith did see God the Father and His Beloved Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. He restored the true church of Christ back onto the earth and he translated the Book of Mormon by the power of God.
Peace Young Homies!
Love,
Sister Barnes JR (Soon to be just Sister Barnes!!! Cray cray!)
