Hello! How is everyone?
This last week was a very bitter sweet. We have an awesome family on date for baptism on the 17th of August but we also had one of our investigators "drop" us, which was super sad and hard to swallow. We pray that she will find happiness in her life and with the jehovah's witnesses that she worships with.
We have been a crazy kind of busy here in the lost mountain ward trying to find people to teach. I've got to admit... tracting isn't may favorite past time... Does this make me a horrible missionary? I hope not! I just know there are better ways to find people to teach and that is through memebers! The only success we have had with our investigators are ones who the memebers refer to us. If anything I think this mission will make me a better memeber of the Church, I have learned so much about how it works and every little thing that goes into making it run. It really is so wonderful, I am so happy that I have the opportunity to be a disciple of Jesus Christ my whole life, not just on my mission.
Today we are having zone p-day and we are going to play kick ball with all of the elders and sisters in our area. Later this week I get to go to the Temple with my zone as well for zone training. I am so excited! I miss the Temple so much because I do not get to attend as often as I did at home. I am grateful for the opportunities I get to attend when I do. It is my goal that when I get home I will go to the Temple every week.
This week I was reading a lot in the Book of Mormon, in Mosiah 2-4 I love these scriptures and king benjamin. Ya'll should check out Mosiah 4:9... I know that I have a Father in Heaven who knows everything and who loves me just the same. I know that the Lord has a plan for all of us and that if we trust in him everything will be okay... That is somthing I have learned this week. Everything will be okay when we trust in God.
I am sorry this is so short today. I will have more things to write about next week. I love you all and I am so grateful for all of you!
Have a great week.
Love, Sister Barnett
