Hello Everyone!
Hope y'all are doing great! I would love any updates you
guys have about life and Utah! Even if it is just a short crappy email! Life in
PA is awesome! We have been knocking on A LOT of doors so many that Sister
Wadley has knocked her knuckles bloody. It is a great time! Oh, this week I
have been able to go outside for the first time in months without tights on!
WHAT A BLESSING!!! I didn't think the day would come but, it is supposed to be
in the 30's again by the end of the week but, I will take warm while I can. We
also had exchanges this week and I got to go with Sister Chance who was in the
MTC with me. What a party!
Something cool from my studies this week is in Alma 14 in
verse 8 which says, "he also brought forth their records which contained
the holy scriptures, and cast them into the fire also, that they might be
burned and destroyed by fire." In this verse it is when some people are
just hating hardcore and they end up killing like all of the believers, but in
this part they even start burning the scriptures which reminded me of something
I read about in church history about how people would burn down the printing
presses to try to stop printing of The Book of Mormon and other church
materials. Which didn't do anything because like Elder Holland says, "For
179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed,
targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious
history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. AND STILL IT
STANDS". No matter what people do The Book of Mormon is true it is
God's word! There are always going to be people that hate and try to stop
Gods work, but it isn't going to happen. God's work is going on with or without
you. It's up to you to come along or not. I want to hear anything that y'all
have been learning in your studies :)
We got some solid funnies this week. First one being Sister
Wadley knocking her knuckle bloody then not knowing what to do with it so, she
basically wrapped a pass along card around it. hahahaha. Next one is from when
I was with Sister Chance on exchanges. We were following up with some people
they talked to a couple of days before. It's kind of dark and I am just
following Sister Chance bc I don't know who these people are or anything. We
are at the door and she knock then she says, "this is the wrong house and
we knocked on this house like yesterday" I don't know what to do. Do we
run? Do we hide? Just pray they don't answer? hahahaha This lady answered, and
we just told her we were at the wrong house and that we are sorry we knocked on
her door. She was chill and let us pet her dog. It turns out all good. I
thought this next thing was funny but, y'all might not. Sister Wadley and I
were just chillin at our apartment eating lunch and I just randomly asked What
do you think Jesus' favorite food was? Without hesitation Sister Wadley
answered unleavened bread. hahahahahaha I legit cried over this. Then the last
one is from yesterday. For Presidents day we decided to celebrate by tracting
Lincoln St. We knwo how to celebrate!
Hope y'all have a great week!
Love ya!
Sister Barrow
