Sister Barrow Week #17 - Freezing to Death

Hello Everybody! 

 How are all you guys doing? This week has been a cold but, good week. We haven't gotten snow but, I pretty sure I might freeze to death by the end of winter. People weren't lying when they said the humidity makes it even colder. It might feel even cold because my fam keeps sending me picture from Mexico..... It okay I am not butt hurt or anything. Really though this week has been really good! We met some really cool old ladies the other day. Oh man it was so much fun! We were going to check on an old investigator just to see how she was doing. She wasn't home but, her mom and aunt were. They let us in and we talked with them for a little bit and it was a party. They were telling us stories from when they were young, and I was dying I was laughing so hard! It was like when Joyce tells her stories. It was a great time! One of the ladies’ name Lucy was a biker when she was younger and oh man does she have some great stories.

Now onto some more spiritual stuff after that mess. I read some great and little confusing stuff. Getting into the Isaiah chapters are rough but, President Brown told me that I just need to take it slow through them. He also told me that Isaiah was a poet so, he repeats himself in different ways. If you can understand maybe the first couple of verses, then you can get the rest. It has really helped me. Oh, and using the footnotes are in Isaiah help too. Anyways, the thing I wanted to talk about was in 2 Nephi 9. It is just the first line in verse 13. It just says, "O how great the plan of our God!". I just love that because it is so true! This plan of happiness that God has for us is perfect and is made for each one of us. He really thought through everything. It is a plan that will not fail and if you follow it and do what God wants you to do. That my friend is where you find TRUE and LASTING happiness and joy. 

 
After that little rant let's tell some funny stories. We were knocking on doors one night. Not a lot of people were answer so we would just leave a card. We were going through and it was mine turn and knocked and waited a little and no one was coming. I started to put a card in the door and this lady opened the door and I almost fell into her. Hahahaha. Then she was asking us what we wanted, and I just stared at her because my mind when completely blank. Hahahaha. That was one of my most awkward door approaches ever! Oh, we went over to a members house to heat up our dinner and she was nice and just let us eat there while she waited for her son who was coming to go out to dinner with her. Well, we just were sitting there talking to her as we ate and in walks her son. He looks at us and says, "Really mom are you trying to gang up on me now." Hahahaha. We did get to know him a little bit and talk with him. 

Well, that's it for my week! Hope all is well with you guys! 

 Love ya,
