Hola Everyone!

 

What a week! We had transfers on Thursday, conference Saturday and Sunday, MLC Monday, and a butt load of lesson in between. It's been a solid week!

 

First off CONFERENCE! Man after conference I was just was pumped and is President Nelson awesome! If you guys haven't watched all the sessions yet go watch them! It was a bomb time! Also President Nelson is totally a prophet and 12 new temples. Also I am pumped for 2 hours of church. Oh and the women's session was lit! I have been reading The Book of Mormon like President Nelson said and I am only in like 1 Nephi 6 and it is SO COOL! It is amazing to see how many times Christ name is used. Something I have been noticing is how Laman and Lamuel never talk about Christ. However, when Nephi and Lehi talk it's in almost every verse multiple times. It really shows how Christ centered their lives were. 

 

Second off I have an awesome new companion. Sister McElhaney she is super chill and it is a fun time here in Warren. Two things to prove she is a grand old time is she has Celiac so basically we are BFF's #glutenfreeforlife. Second, is that she legit is hilarious! Example of this is we walk in to our apartment right after transfers, so after about a 2 hour drive... We walk in Sister McElhaney puts away some of the stuff she needs to put away. We are about to leave and I am  like did you put your insulin away because she is also diabetic too and I learned a few things from Sister Franks. She is like flip! She forgot it in her last apartment. Luckily we figured out a way to get it from the Ashtabula Elders. So the next night we are driving to this place way out in the boonies #ripourmiles 😂 we are out there and our gas light turns on, but I like we should be good because we got like 30 miles... ya I was wrong. We get to the Elders and we had like no gas...  Luckily randomly in the middle of nowhere there was on gas station and it was like a 1/2 mile away #blessup. After that experience I was like man this is gonna be a bomb transfer. 

 
Okay some other funnies then I am done because I haven't even emailed my mom... #sorrymom Anyways, we met this cool lady named Michelle and her daughter Alison and we went back to talk with them and we were having this great lesson with Michelle. Eventually Alison comes out and she brings her boyfriend.... We talk with him for a sec and he is cool. They listen for a bit, but they are teenagers so they lost interest after a minute. They go and sit on the porch and start kissing.... we just keep going with our lesson with Michelle and it's going good. We get to the 1st vision and we hear this smacking noise in the background 😂😂😂 these two kids are making out as we are teaching the 1st vision. Only in Ohio 😂😂😂 it was a bomb lesson still and Michelle's son came in at the end and she taught him about what we just taught her! It was awesome! Another funny is THE SOBER HOUSE! Sister Franks and I a couple of weeks ago met all these guys and we felt like we need to go back to talk with them. Sister McElhaney and I this week did and it was SO much fun! We met a couple of new guys and they are so prepared for the gospel. We sat on the porch and we talking with them. Barry, the guy in charge, gets a call from someone and they got a complaint saying there were a bunch of women on the porch. Barry just laughed and it's like it's two missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint. The guy on the other end just laughed and was like they are good to stay 😂😂😂 Also Barry totally used the full name bc he read a while article about it and super respected it. All of them are really cool, but we just have a hard time setting up time to meet with them. Which leads us to today. Crap happened and we have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off, BUT miracles have happened today! We ran into one of our sober house friends at Walmart and totally set up a time to meet with him and all the friends! God is good my friends! 

 

Keeping doing what you are supposed to and God will bless ya!

 

Love,

 

Sister Barrow 

 

PS if someone could yell at Claire Burtenshaw for me and ask her why she didn't tell me she was in Ohio that would be great.
