How is everyone doing? I was really excited to write everyone, I just miss you all so much!
Grandma, I am sending you a package this week
I had a wonderful week!
Where to start... Okay!
Tuesday- We had the wonderful opportunity to go to the Temple, the spirit there was so strong. It was wonderful to be at home, you don't even know!
Later that day we met President Harding! I already love him so much, I feel like he was always meant to be my mission President. He talked about a lot of wonderful things and we got some new training materials that I am excited to get into more!
Wednesday- I was able to actually really teach my first real lesson as a missionary to Miss Kennedy! It was really awesome and I feel like we really helped her to understand! She is on date to be baptized on July 20th!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!
Friday- We went to a funeral early that morning... it was a little sad but it was also so cool because earlier that week we had taught the Plan of Salvation to Kennedy, the spirit testified to me that I will be able to be with my family forever. I am so happy for this knowledge.
Later this day we went tracting in a neighborhood and we met quite a few potential investigators, we have some follow up appointments for this next week! It should be good :)
I want to tell you about one of my favorite people we met this last week. Her name is Shemeika, a few years ago she was investigating the church but then she moved and got lost in the whole thing. She want's to start learning more again! I am so excited for her and I feel like she is so elect and ready to receive the saving ordinances that will bring her back to the presence of her loving Father in Heaven!
Sunday- We had an amazing fast and testimony meeting in the Jonesboro ward, oh how I love these ward members! They are all so amazing and the ward is so diverse! I am going to miss these people when I leave here.
We had interviews after church with President Harding, we talked for a little while and he explained to me that we need to search and rescue souls!
I know President Harding has been called of God to be the mission president for this area, in this time! I am so thankful to be able to serve with him!
This morning all of those serving in our ward went bowling together! We had a great time and it was fun to just let loose for a little bit :)
We have transfers on the 17th, I am not sure if I will be staying in this area or leaving, Obviously I will let you all know when I get the news :)
Okay, I want to tell you a few weird quirks about Georgia!
-People do not know how to drive in this crazy place, they are all so bad at it.
-Some black people speak this dialect of English called "Ebonix" basically they mumble and slurr a lot and say things that you can't even understand. I hope I will become fluent in this language.
-When making a left turn in an intersection it is apparently illegal to drive into the middle of the intersection before you turn. Grandpa you wouldn't like this very much.
-The rain here is absolutely ridiculous! the other day we walked 10 feet outside and we were completely soaking wet!

-People in the south love to talk and talk and talk.
-People in the south love to hug all the time!
-There are so many bugs here, anti-itch cream has become like candy!
Before I say goodbye... I want you all to know how much I love you! Thank you so much for all of your love and support! I wouldn't be able to do this without you!
I know that the atonement is real and that as we use it in our life and do the things that we need to we will be able to return and live with our Father in Heaven again. This promise is for everyone on this earth. I am so grateful for this knowledge and the wonderful plan that has been laid out for all of us!
D&C 6:36- Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not!
I promise that as we look to Christ, our Savior we will be able to not fear :)
Love you!!!
Sister Barnett :)
See ya'll soon enough.
