Do you
know what I just bought me? Some salsa...but not the mild kind. The
SPICY kind. It's just my fave. ;) ha ha ha...but really...Sister Meiners
and I love our chips and SPICY salsa.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY PAPANWA! I hope you got/get my letter soon! It
should be there by now but if not, it's on the way! But I just love my
papanwa so much! I have been the most blessed girl evs. So my ward
mission leader emailed ya'll? Awe... :)
I basically had the best week ever. I went on my first exchange! I
got literally attacked by a giant puppy who I'm pretty sure is Fang's
twin from Harry Potter and I have a new boyfriend named Denver.
To further explain these interesting events... A sister came with me to
Arlington and it was the bestest day. Also, a 70 pound puppy tried to
eat my face and gashed my leg open a little bit...I told the owner the
blood was from a mosquito bite. HA! Missions cure you of ever wanting
pets... Sister Meiners and I now volunteer at a nursing home every week.
I. Love. It. It reminds me of my CNA days and I just love old, senile
people. They make my heart sing. But Denver, who is probably in his 80's
or 90's, has quite the thing for me. Flattering I know. But we just got
so much done this week and I loooooove that feeling!!! :)
Emilee Farr is now in John and Connie Porter's mission. How
jealous am I? AGH! My best friend's parents are my other best friend's
mission parents! I'm feeling a little left out...it's fine.
Random thought. Do you remember when Auttie fell onto that potted
plant at Nauvoo? Oh my goodness. I am crying right now just thinking
about it. I can still see her legs flying over her head. Cough.
Ummm...just something to ponder about.
So Sister Meiners and I are like best friends right? We quote all
the same movies, (She even quotes the movie Everything You Want!!!) we
have all the same likes, we are quite the sassy pair...it's just great.
But the bad thing about it is we like the same foods.. We ate a whole
german cake in less than 24 hours. We don't even like cake and I don't
even like coconut. I don't even know why I'm sharing this. I'm not sure
if that's impressive or just disgusting. I'll pray about it.
The work is going well! Our investigators are still doing well and
we have some baptisms coming up. :) We just taught the Grey family and
the spirit that was felt was undeniable. It's just amazing how happy
this gospel truly does make us. Sure we all go through our hard times,
but the gospel is what helps me get out of bed in the morning...It's
what gives me hope, peace, and joy. Can you imagine life without it? I
can't. and that's why I'm here. So I know Autumn and Ethan are trying to
figure out ways to try and get me home, but I think I'll stay. :):):)
but I may get west nile disease so you might get lucky....
I LOVE THIS GOSPEL AND I LOVE THIS CHURCH AND IT IS OH SO TOTALLY GOOD AND OH SO TOTALLY TRUE!!! :)
Love ya'll!!!!
Sister Barnes
P.S. I don't talk ditzy around nonmembers I promise!
