Four Bs of Texas

The Four Bs of Texas...

1. Braums

2. Bluebell

3. Brisket

4. Baptists

You can look up the first two to know what they are! ;) But the last one is for sure..just sayin.

I can not even believe Auttie/Heathcliff is home! and it is not fair that her hair is so long... Is she awkward? I mean...more than she was before? Will you film her and Eeo together? I can just imagine how awk they are. I'd love to watch it someday so please videotape them. Thanks. I see she found my closet. Remember how each article of my clothing is like my child so just be gentle...but they really do need some TLC after these lonely four months! Are you going to BYU Provo? Sister. You can not betray the true blue..

Elder Daniel and I actually work very close together because he is also in Arlington! He goes home soon and asks me to give him lessons on how to not be awkward around girls... We have our work cut out for us. But it's been good to relive our good ole Philmont days. Dad! I believe you know his dad!

So remember how everything is bigger in Texas? That includes Lisa. If you could send me some healthy eating tips and maybe send me a jump rope...that would be nice. I'm kind of freaking out here. It's fine. NBD right?

So this week has been so rough! We work so diligently everyday and sometimes everything just falls apart! We had seven appointments get canceled on us this past week. Our baptismal date was pushed back again and nothing seemed to go right! It's easy to think "Why am I even here?! Why am I putting all this effort in and yet nothing happens?!" But the talk "the will of God" keeps popping into my head. I am the current bush and God is my gardener. I am being refined and shaped into who he wants me to be. and even though this week was rough, I will continue to work hard and do all I can to build the kingdom of God! I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who loves us enough to cut us down.

Another thing...I am getting way ditzy out here in Texas...It's kind of ridiculous how many blonde moments I have each day. and I drive the car so that's always an adventure. I decided I don't like cities. The end.

I give a talk this week! I'm surprised they actually gave me some notice! :)

Autumn...assignment... Keep me updated on home life! I've been hearing some cray cray things!

Relieved Andy is doing better and hope Grandpa feels better!

Dad is famous and Mom is going to girls camp.

LIFE SOUNDS GOOD! I love ya'll so much!

Can you please send me the letter/email/whatever it was that president sent you about me? I think I would love to read it! THANKS!

Love,

Sister Barnes (No longer JR......) Weird.
