Hello Everyone!
 
Sorry don't have a ton of time because we went to Kraynkas today. Which is this store that is super cool that sets up these cool displays for certain holidays it was a good time especially since Sister Saxey, Sister Lloyd, and Sister Robins came up from Alliance. However, dumb computers have cut down my email time so, I don’t know how great this email will be. Sorry in advance :)
 
Sister Wadley and I have been watching Bible videos lately and oh man they are SO GOOD!!!!!! We have even built a fort to watch them in. It is a totally party! Y'all should watch them! Like stop reading this email and go open gospel library and watch them! I will wait until you watch them......
 

Okay now that y'all have watch them or you are lying to a missionary who represents Christ and that is just wrong to do. Anyways, the videos are awesome! One of my favorite ones was Jesus talking to the Samarian woman at the well. It is really cool because back in those days if you were a Jew you DID NOT talk to anyone who wasn't a Jew and here is Jesus who is a Jew just talking to this lady. Christ is just SO cool! He talked about how anyone it they just followed him they would be good. Christ doesn't care who you are or where you are He just wants you to come unto him. " For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still." - 2 Nephi 19: 12, 17, 21. He is never going to abandon us. We can never go further then what Christ can reach. It is just up to us to talk his hand and go with it. That my friends is where true happiness is. 
 

Now onto the funnies for the week, oh man has it been jammed packed. First one is from knocking on doors. We were up in Greenville just going door to door you know doing our thing and we come up to this house that is like 4th of July just threw up on it. Oh man it was fan-flippy-tastic! We knock on this door and this old man comes out, he has American flag suspenders on and we start talking to him, he starts pointing his finger at me telling me his whole life story…. oh man I thought I was going to die, but I survived even gave him a pass along card :) Next one is one of our new investigators, Brenda, she is super great! She has been held at gun point 4 times, been shot twice, been in prison for 20 years, and now stays at home taking care of her 4 grandkids. hahahaha she is awesome, just working on getting her life turned around. Last funny then I got to bounce. We were at a less actives house - Sister Swick - She is a funny lady. We go over and mostly read out of the Book of Mormon with her it is a great time. Every time we go over which is every Saturday at 8, I sit by this bookshelf and each week I find something new to play with. Well, this week it was an origami square. That was a big mistake. I was playing with it trying to figure out how it was all folded together, I got one piece out and I tried for another and I ripped it! 😬 Luckily, it wasn't too bad and Sister Swick didn't see it because she was looking at her calendar telling us about her week and when she reads she has to have the paper like right next to her face. Only Sister Wadley saw me rip it so, I just put it back on the shelf and then as we were reading I realized that I set it in a way that you could see the rip and I just turned it over. hahahahahaha this whole time Sister Wadley is just watching me do all of this and laughing at me and trying not to laugh too hard so that Sister Swick would notice. Don't worry though it was all good she didn't care about the square. hahahahahaha.
 

That's it for this week!
 
Love all y'all,
 

Sister Barrow
