Sister Lisa Barnes

Family! I only have like five minutes so I apologize. Yesterday was a holiday so the library was closed! But I am here today. I can't believe Autumn is going home!!!! I am so happy for her. I didn't realize how hard this would be. I love my sister so much and she is an amazing example to me.. But there's no place I would rather be...no matter what happens...I am grateful that I am here. And my companion reminds me so much of Autumn it's insane! Maybe we are companions so I could have a little piece of my sister since I won't be seeing her when she comes home. :) Ha ha

Emily Long is a lovely 17 year old that we will be baptizing in the next couple of weeks here. We also have some investigators where I've really learned that God truly does love everyone. We are ALL children of God...no matter who we are. He loves us. I have learned patience and charity. You learn a lot as a missionary. :)

Okay, what is it with Texans and not wearing clothes. I can't count how many times people come to the door with very minimal clothing on! I have to really restrain myself from laughing sometimes. But ya'll know how I am...I'm working on it K? ;)

Did Amber move? I sent her a letter but I sent it to her old address. If she has a new one, will you please send it to me?

Just so you know...you NEVER have to worry about me. There is always a member family who I become so close to and they really help us with whatever we need. This time it's the Blankenships...so if you ever get an email from them, you'll know who it is! :)

Andy is in my prayers. I love my brother so much!

Sorry this email is sooo lame but there is work to be done!

The church is true. The gospel is true. I love my family.

PEACE!

Love,

Sister Barnes JR (almost not JR anymore!!!)
