Sister Barrow Week #21 - #lighttheworld

 

 

Hola!

Hope everyone has had a great week! Out here it has been a party! I don't really know what to say about this week. I honestly can’t remember what even happened this week. It has been a total blur with transfers being this week. Speaking of transfers, we learned that Sister Lloyd and I will be staying in Alliance for another transfer! Woot Woot! The party will continue. I am excited to stay here and be here through Christmas! Oh, and speaking of Christmas. Have all of you guys heard about #Lighttheworld? Oh man! It is SO good! It is just really how we can be Christ hands this Christmas season. I would encourage each of you to go look at mormon.org and learn more about it. 

I wanted to share with you guys something from my studies this week. I was reading Ether 12. Which is such a quality chapter! In the first part it talks a lot about faith and I really like verse 12. Which says. "For if there be no faith among the children of me God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith." When I read that I thought of Polar Express. Keep with me it is great! When the main kid is standing the town - square looking at the bells and he still can't hear them. It isn't until he acts and says that he believes in Santa that he is finally able to hear the bell. Then he was able to see Santa and was given the first gift of Christmas. That is the same with us and God. God doesn't just doesn't give us things and just like the scripture says he doesn't show us himself until after are faith. We need to hear the bells then we can see how God is working in our lives. I hope that makes sense.

Now onto what people actually read, the funnies. I have learned, or semi learned how to embroider over the past couple of weeks. These two old ladies Sister Hughes and Sister Tharp gave us pillowcases a couple of weeks ago and we have been working on them. We thought it would be a good idea if we took it over and they helped us with it. Well, they were super excited about it! They taught me how to do this back stitch then and something else. hahaha so, I am basically a sewing expert now. ;) After they showed us this Christmas house! It is Christmas to the MAX! I would even go as far as comparing it to temple square. It is that great! 

Well, that is all for this week! 

Love ya,

Sister Barrow
