The applesauce I sent her was made in Ohio she found this funny!
Hello Everybody!
Hope all your weeks have been great. It has been a solid
week here in Ohio. We decorated a corner in our apartment for Christmas so, it
has been a pretty great week! This week I got to meet this cool guy name Doyle.
He is so amazing he went from being a homeless man on drugs like 10 years ago
now to a devoted Presbyterian and has his life together. He is awesome. He lets
us come over and talk with him. He says that he doesn't want to convert but, he
like how we talk to everyone about Jesus. He is really cool and it is amazing
to see how Christ has changed his life for the better. Also random side note
but, his decorating skills are amazing! His apartment is so pretty. Like I want
him to decorate my house when I get older. We also had a clothing drive
and the church that we helped with. It was great. There was some crazy pieces
of clothing there so, of course we had to try it on! We got a couple of
pictures of us wearing our stuff. It was a fun time! Oh, I also kind of learned
how to tie a bow tie. There was a brother in the ward that donated a lot of old
bow ties and so we wanted to try to learn how to tie them. It didn't work out
to well but, we tried. We also tried to tie a tie and that didn't go to well. I
kept doing mine backwards. It is a good thing I don't wear bow ties or
ties. We also got to meet some cool people and help them out. There
was a lot of school teachers that came in trying to find clothes for their
students this year. It was sad what they were saying about how their students
had little to nothing. I am happy that we could help them out though. Oh,
exciting news we also had TWO investigators at church!!! It was awesome! We
didn't plan on seeing anyone because everyone said they couldn't come. Which
sucked and then we got there and two of them were sitting in the chapel! It was
such a great surprise!
In the reading, I like chapter 5 where it talks about
Sariah. She did not have a firm belief until he saw what the Lord had done in
protecting her sons. She didn't have a testimony until she sat back and looked at
how the Lord has blessed her. Have you look to see the tender mercies the Lord
does for you? This week I am going to read 1 Nephi 6 - 8. Like always I would
love to hear from you what you learn in the reading. Even if you aren't reading
what I am reading. The scriptures are an amazing tool and we can learn so much
from them.
We also got to see the solar eclipse this week. It was
really cool! I was able to use the glasses that Papa gave me. We went over to
Sister Stiver's house. Sister Stiver is awesome, I have talked about her before
she is the 91-year-old. She said that she wanted to see the eclipse but, didn't
have anything to watch them with. It is a good thing I had the glasses. It was
super great. Sister Stiver told us about the last eclipse she saw. It was cool.
She is such a sweet old lady.
Well I am getting kick off the computer so, peace out!
Love you all,
Sister Barrow
