Another week has come and gone! Today is a beautiful day, I almost forgot it was a holiday until our district leader told us we could email at a members home today because the libraries are closed.
This last week has been very busy and crazy, but it was great! I feel bad i can't always tell ya'll everything, maybe it is a good thing though :) that way I will have plenty of stories to tell everyone when I return home!
This Friday we are going to have the baptism of Troy! We are so excited :) Troy is an amazing guy, he really has been so prepared to receive the gospel. like I have said before, it has been a tender mercy to see him accept the gospel- I truthfully have done nothing!
We have had a few meetings with a really cool guy named Jonathan! he is super into star wars and good athletic foot wear :) We met him while contacting in a sporting goods store a few weeks ago. He says that he is continually being drawn to learn more about the Mormons. We have had quite a bit of fun getting to teach him! This coming week we are going to talk to him more about the restoration and his Book of Mormon reading.
This next week we are going to spending as much time as we can contacting people in the stores and on the street, this isn't my favorite activity but unless we find people to teach we won't be able to teach! Funny how that works...
I wanted to tell ya'll about how cool I think writing in journals is. This last week there was a day when I was really having a hard time, i decided to write everything in my journal. When I was done I started to read through some old entries- it was an amazing epiphany to me of how therapeutic and wonderful keeping a record of our lives can be! I read once that happy people keep journals- I would invite everyone to take a little bit of time this coming week and write a little bit in your journal! I promise it will make you happier!
A goal that I have for myself this next week is to have better prayers instead of just going through the motions. I know that Prayer works! I see miracles everyday when my prayers are answered- I know that so many more miracles can happen if i fine tune my personal prayers a little bit!
Alrighty my Friends and family! I love you all and I wish you the happiest of weeks :) stay good and healthy!
Love,
Sister Barnett
