                                                             Exchanges with the whole gang 

 

Hola Everyone!

 This week has been a Boss week! We had exchanges with the Lisbon sisters, had a weird lesson at the Goldbergs, Heidi and Kimmy helped us out on a lesson, and we met a really cool less active name Brother Zugg. 

 

First and foremost, exchanges! I went with Sister Jensen and oh man it was a boss time! I haven't laughed that hard in months! We ended up eating soggy rice in our car, got our hands kissed by an old man, and so much more. It was SO good! We had a bomb lesson with one of our people named Cal. He is an old softball ump so obviously him and I are good friends. He gets off subject a lot though and Sister Jensen was able to keep him on track and maybe help me a little bit too 😉 She had such a strong testimony of Joseph Smith and The Book of Mormon, it was what made the lesson so good. 

 

Okay, this is a funny! We were going to Heidi and Kimmy's to teach them a lesson. We get there, and they have their friend Mike over. He is a cool guy! He started asking us questions and we are answering them. Kimmy is doing a great job like backing us up and talking about how we have answered her questions then randomly she said, "Did you know that we lived with God before?" 😂😂😂 it was just so random. Like we were talking Jesus and how He restored His church through Joseph Smith. Oh man I love Kimmy! 

 

One last thing! Is Brother Zugg! He is awesome! We knocked on his door and the first thing he says is the he is less active because he doesn't have a car, so he can't get to church. Then he goes and asks us questions he had about his reading. He is in Alma in The Book of Mormon. We didn't have time to answer all his question then, so we set up a time for us to come back. We go back, and he is sitting on his computer indexing! Like honestly who is this guy! Usually when we meet less active they are A. Sitting there smoking or B. Don't like us. I guess there is an option C now of they are awesome and are like Brother Zugg! Don't worry we got him a ride for church this Sunday! God is good! 

 

Love,

Hola Friends!

This week has been a week that is for sure! 

First and foremost, Heidi and Kimmy got baptized!!!! It was SO good! Sister Cox and Sister Chance got to video in! Sister Chance is in a different mission now, so we pulled some strings and surprised Heidi and Kimmy with Sister Chance. It was awesome! Heidi and Kimmy are really great! Kimmy almost couldn't make it to church on Sunday to get the gift of the Holy Ghost, but we got it figured out she had to wear her work uniform to church. She is dedicated! It's awesome!

The rest of this week was kind of crazy. Yesterday we went and visited the major college campuses in our zone. President Stratford wanted us to talk with all of them and make sure we had approval to go proselyting on the campuses. It was SO weird to be around people my age. Also funny to see what kids my age are doing and what I am doing. I am SO grateful I have the restored gospel and came on a mission!!!! This is truly the best thing ever! Y'all should go on a mission! 

 

Okay one funny from the colleges really quick. We went to YSU (Youngstown State University). We were on campus with the Ytown Elders and there are all these kids running around with nerf guns and bandanas. We stop and talk to one of the group's running around and it was a zombie game. 😂😂😂 My only thought was Forrest would love this. That night I had a dream about zombies too 😂😂😂 College kids! I want to pull a Peter pan and never grow up and go home. 

Cool and funny thing from this week. The other day Sister Franks and I were setting goals in the morning and we decided that we wanted to find 2 new people that day. Which would be a push because we had like no finding time, but we felt good about it. One of our appointments fell through in the morning and we were able to find one new there. His name is Jordan and he is cool. He loved the Plan of Salvation as we taught it to him. We only had 1 more to find and we have been finding machines and we had about 30 minutes to find, so we were solid. Everything ended up changing around and we didn't end up having any time.... We were walking into an appointment and this guy named Bill drove up and asked us if we were lost. We were walking from the street to the house.😂😂😂 We talked to him for about 5 minutes and were able to teach him some of Restoration. Bam just like that we hit our goal. It was really cool. When we set righteous goals and have God on our side miracles happen! It was SO good! It’s all in God's timing. 

God is good! 

Love,

Sister Barrow

Hello Everyone!

 

It's been a week and I still don't have motivation to email. I am half tempted to pull a Sister Boren and not email 😂😂😂 I have made it this far, so I guess I can do it. 

 

Mission are so much fun and so much happens. That's part of the reason that I don't like emailing because there is so much I want to put in here, but don't have time to do it. 

 

This week has been another quality one! We drove the trek down to Columbus for Mission Leadership Conference with the Akron Sisters again. Those two sisters are so funny! We started counting how many mini vans there were and in the space of about 10 minutes we saw 52 mini vans 😂😂😂

 

We also had exchanges yesterday with the New Castle Sisters and I got to go with Sister Skeen. She is a great missionary! We were stopping by some potentials and walking around. I am updating in the phone. When Sister Skeen said we need to go talk to that person. I look, and this person is all the way down the street pulling weeds. We go and talk to her. She was pulling weeds and we help her out. There we all are this lady in a BRIGHT orange shirt and two girls in dresses weeding. 😂😂😂 it was cool because we were able to teach this lady the full restoration while we pulled weeds. There were so many weeds that I got blisters from pulling weeds 😂😂😂 we got through the restoration and her questions though! God is good! 

 

This week we also got stung by bees!!! We were helping Sister King out with her garden and we notice how a ton of bees are around. I found the hive and we are like we can just avoid it. That plan didn't work. They got really mad and ATTACKED! They first got Sister Franks in the knee. She has a little hole in her knee from it. Then they went full beast mode on Sister King. She was attacked by like 50 bees! She luckily only came out with 3 or 4 stings. One got her on the finger. Sister Franks and Sister King ran into the house and I am scot free at this point. I get into the house and two sting me! One on my arm and neck. We make a paste and cover our wounds and head back out. We finished service for her and I had a swollen itchy arm and Sister Franks had a hole in her leg 😂😂😂 

 

Finally, is that Heidi and Kimmy are getting baptized on Saturday! I will email more about that next week but keep them in your prayers! They are both super great and I am super excited for them! 

 

Hope y'all have a great week!

 

Love,
