So what have I done this week? hmm... well lets start
with the worst part I guess? We got yelled at harshly from a member's
neighbor. It was actually kind of humorous. He's this old white guy
and he was in the war and stuff, so we can't really blame him, but he
didn't like where we parked our car. We said we're leaving in five
minutes and he freaked out. We moved the car, while he swore at Elder
Topham, even calling him names. Isn't that the adult way of handling
things? It kind of reminded me of when we say Lincoln in the theatre
with Shane and dad and the girl hogging the armrest sat by him. People
explode over trivial things.
Last Monday, man I don't want to type right now, the
elders in my last district had a miracle baptism, that was cool to hear
about. An elder was going home that day and had made a goal for three
baptisms before he left, and president Monday asked why the third person
hadn't been baptized. So that third person was baptized that night.
Then Wednesday something random happened. We went
to try a random less-active, and her daughter was there. In the MTC, a
girl had given me a note to give to her parents who live in Sealy Texas.
I got to the field and realized Sealy isn't in our mission.... So I
tore up the note. So the daughter of this less active I met happened to
be her mom to whom the note was addressed... Who would have known?
We found news on Thursday, finally! Hopefully they'll be cool. We also called Marlen and taught her.
Friday I was on exchanges here and we had fun.
Saturday was a ward activity in a park. There was lots of good food, and lots of games and stuff.
And Sunday we set stuff up for a baptism on Saturday. We'll see how that goes.
And I haven't really taken pictures this week. I'll take
some soon. Next week is transfer calls. Time goes by super fast of
course.
And since I don't know what to say I'll
end here, I love you all, I love when my family writes me, and the
gospel is true! You guys are all great!
Hi Elder Barlow! I've been wondering how you are, and Delaney gave me your blogspot info so now I can be more informed. I'm glad to read that you are using your music on occasion...you have "the gift" and I know it will serve you well in many ways. I got an email from one of my former students, who said that when he can't find a piano he sings a hymn before teaching someone. Good idea! You're in my thoughts and prayers. Remember, "all of this shall give thee experience"! Geri
