Dun dun dunn...

I don't know why my email is titled this...I thought people might be more excited about reading my update...

First of all...I had two epiphanies...Peter in the Bible Videos is Joseph Smith in the Joseph Smith movie! That one was a big one for me. Also, the dad in Everything You Want (Maybe only Aut knows what I'm talking about...) is in the mormon message Enduring Love and is also Governor Boggs in the Joseph Smith movie! Okay...really not cool...but I'm proud of myself.

Remember how I was supposed to be working at Disney World this summer? Weird. Life has a way of playing out differently than one plans. :) All I know is we must put our trust in the Lord and lean not unto our own understanding! Everything will be okay if we do that. :) Butttt.....I am SO going to Harry Potter world when I get home. That is still one of my dreams! ;) Dad yeah? Okay. Thanks. Tangent. Okay. Stopping.

So I heard something new concerning our religion...Apparently, only GUYS can be mormon! Wow...I had no idea. Ha ha this lady was trying to convince us that our church only believed that men could be members. Lady...we have both been members for a looong time. I think we would know. At least she didn't ask if we had horns...

This week was a little bit slower. Good things are still happening though! Robin is preparing herself to be baptized pretty soon here! Transfers are next week though so I might barely miss it. That's okay...as long as it happens. I love her. :) We teach a lot of black people and they are my favorite....Boneeshia...gotta love her...and Jermaine...Jermeeshia...Jercadence...Keanna... I can't even handle them because they are sooo cool!!!

Wow. My favorite part about being a missionary (I'm pretty sure I say that every week about something different...) is bearing my testimony a bzillion times a day. I just LOVE testifying! It strengthens my testimony. It strengthens other people around me. The spirit is felt. So yes, I simply love bearing my testimony. I know God loves us and this is His church! This is His work and His glory! Follow Him. Keep His commandments. Trust Him. Love Him. Become like Him.

Love,

Sister Barnes

P.S. I mention jet skiing...so you just have to go jet skiing. Ironic. ;)

P.P.S. I'm glad Mom won in 5 crowns. As long as it wasn't Dad! Ha toodles!
