Sister Barrow Week #5 Fun Facts of OHIO! 8-8-2017

Hello Everybody!

This week has been pretty solid! I got to go to the temple this week! We went with a recent convert named Jess. She is super cool. We went and did baptisms with her. It was really cool she could get baptized for her grandma. It was a great experience. However, it did take 3 hours just to get down there! Which is something I am not used to. It was super great to be in the temple again! It is so awesome in Utah how close temples are and that we can have that uplifting power so close to us. I invite all of you to attend the temple at least once a month. It is something that is totally possible. Just make time for it.  Oh, this week we also had exchanges. It is where we change companions for the day with the Sister Training Leaders. It was a lot of fun! I learn a ton! I change with Sister Gravin. She is super funny. She reminds me a lot of Haylilann Gatten. It was a great time. She was just able to talk to anyone and bring up the gospel of Jesus Christ like it was so impressive. 

 This week for reading I read in 3 Nephi 13. Which was awesome! I really like verse 32. It talks about how your Heavenly Father is aware of you. He knows what you need. He will lead and guide you to the best things for you. I know that you trust in Him and let Him lead you in life that you will have a far better life then you could image. Instead of jumping all round let’s just go back to 1 Nephi 3. 

 Fun stories from this week. Oh, here is a great one. We were knocking on doors and we asked this guy what made him happy in life and he straight up answered drugs. My com and I didn't really know what to say. hahahaha. Ya that was a fun conversation. Oh, we also go the cops called on us this week. I guess you can say that two sister missionaries really look tough and scary. 

 Funny things about Ohio. First off Sister Huntington you were right. For some reason, the less teeth people have the nicer their TV's are. I don't know why that is a thing but, it is. Second, they don't believe in overhead lighting in houses. Everyone just has lamps. In our apartment, we have one overhead light and it doesn't even work. It is kind of annoying but, what can you do. Oh, there is also these things call porch geese. It is just a statue of a geese but, the dress them up. My favorite one was one dressed up like a chef. Another funny thing is that they have pineapples everywhere. I love it! The pineapple is supposed to be a sign of welcoming yet, those are the people they are the rudest when they answer, usually. The last thing that I think is weird is there is so much road kill and potholes. We now have two dead raccoons on the turn in before our apartment. You can't go like 10 feet without seeing road kill.

 Well, on that note. Have a great week.

Love, 

Sister Barrow
