Life. Is. Beautiful.

First off...can I just tell you how much I love participating in God's work? There is NO place I'd rather be. I will NEVER regret the decision I made to go on a mission. Of course it's not butterflies and roses all the time (but who's life is?) but it's worth it! There will never be another time when I can give 24/7...every second of everyday working with my heart, might, mind, and strength for God! It's a beautiful blessing that I have and it truly gives me the greatest happiness. I have learned so much, felt so much, and overcome weaknesses. How. Great. Is. My. Calling.
Second...thanks SO MUCH for the package! Y'all know me too well. Everything is sooo me. :) It made my day! But question...what the world is the green thing? I wear it around my head (not out and about don't worry) but I'm really not sure what it is. So could someone please enlighten me so I can stop looking like an idiot? Thanks. :)
Oh funny story...I kind of hung up on President Ames the other day...on purpose. He was calling while we were on a doorstep. Sister Trusty didn't think anyone was coming so she answered it and threw it to me...RIGHT as they answered the door! President starts talking and I just say "President I have to go!" Click. Talk about terrible Sister Barnes! We got in to the house. ;) So I didn't end up calling him back for about 45 minutes. HA! Oh man. Good thing he's so cool. Anyway..I thought it was kind of funny...
So we have two baptisms coming up! A twelve year old boy named Cadence who is just amazing and so ready to be baptized. And Robin...still. She is so ready to be baptized, but the only reason why she hasn't is because she doesn't think she's ready, but she just needs to recognize that she is. But no worries...she's still progressing well and it WILL happen! The Gray parents have accepted baptism but not a date so we will keep working with them! Also, we've been working a lot with the less actives and some are FINALLY coming back! The church is SO TRUE that I can't even handle it!!! Oh man. Gotta love it.
Well...the elders are glaring at me because I'm taking too long. Sigh. Ha! So I gotta go but I love y'all so much!!!!
Love,
Sister Barnes
