Hello from PA!
 
I hope everyone is freezing to death like we are. Jk it is not that cold....It was like 50 one day but, then it snowed that night and hit -2. I am pretty sure I am going to lose a finger out here but, that is okay I will look like my dad. hahahaha Life here is good though! I am still trying to figure out this PA thing, but I got a good comp! Sister Wadley is awesome! She has been out only a transfer longer than me so, it is kind of fun. She has only been here in PA for a transfer (6 weeks), so we both are just kind of figuring out the area. She has a head start on me though. It is good. The people here are awesome! 
 
This week was Stake Conference and that was a HUGE blessing! I got to see all of my peeps from Alliance and we got to hear from Elder Sinclair from the 70. It was a party! One thing he talked about was faith. He used the bible dictionary which says, "Faith in Jesus Christ is the first principle of the gospel and is more than belief, since true faith always moves its possessor to some kind of physical and mental action" He talked about when we have true faith we have that action. True faith always means we are doing something. Which is something that I feel like I need to work on, so  I am going to work on having action behind that belief. I am going to work on just making my prayers more meaningful by just giving myself more time to pray. How can you guys increase your faith? If you think of anything let me know! 

Now to write what everyone actually reads. The funnies. First off, being in a new area you legit know no one which is fun. Well, one day Sister Wadley asked me to text one of our investigators named David, to see if we could meet up with him Friday. He texted back, "Friday night I have a performance for the Yoga ladies." I was like who and what the heck is this guy!  It is all good though he apparently plays music for a yoga class, but at first I was SO confused! hahahaha What a good time. The other day it was like SUPER cold. We were getting ready to go and scrapping off the car and the ice on the outside was like an inch thick then we had a layer of ice on the INSIDE of our car! We ended having to sit in the back of our car and scrap the inside of the car. hahaha. Last funny comes from good old Mr.Smith, (he is our neighbor) him and his wife live in the apartment next to us. He is this like big black guy that is super awesome! Anyways, one night Sister Wadley and I were just sitting at our desks in our apartment (which is a downstairs apartment) when we hear the LOUDEST fart I have ever heard in my life!!! Mr. Smith right as he got to the top of stairs just let one rip. hahahahaha. I am just glad we couldn't smell it. Well, that's all for this week folks. 

Love y'all,

Sister Barrow
