Hey y'all!
So this week has been pretty great! My head is finally doing
better (Thank Goodness!), and so classes and teaching has gone a LOT better
this week.
I am finally getting Spanish down. It has definitely not
been easy but it is getting better, I no longer feel like I have 2 fire
hydrants down my throat, it's more like 1 now haha.
So I'm sure your all wondering what I mean by sleep talking.
Haha thankfully it's not about me, but it's still worth sharing. So the other
night Hermana Grover (a sister in my residence) and I were almost asleep and
the other 2 Hermanas were asleep, and all of a sudden my Hermana, Hermana
Oliphant flipped over in bed and yelled "BOO!" at the top of her
lungs, and then it was dead silent for a second and Hermana Gover and I busted
up laughing and the other Hermanas awoke, also laughing. Long story short,
Hermana Oliphant thought that Hermana Grover was coming over to talk to her
(this was in her dreams) and she thought it would be funny to scare the pants
off of her, so she flipped over and yelled boo and woke herself and the rest of
the dorm up. Needless to say we were up a little late that night laughing.
So the MTC food is still not the grandest, however we do
have connections so we got to have some cookies n' cream milk shakes the other
day which were fabulous!
So to finish off, yesterday my companion and I met with our
investigator, Diana. She is such a sweetheart, we started teaching her last
week, which is crazy because it feels so much longer. But yesterday when we
went and taught her we were talking to her about the Book of Mormon and she
asked us what our favorite stories are in the Book of Mormon and my companion
felt prompted to share the story of Nephi getting the brass plates, which is
kind of a strange one to share because she told her that Nephi cut of Laban's
head and she said that she doesn't think that God would help man kill another
man, and then I had a scripture pop into my head 1 Nephi 4:13 which talks about
how God would rather one man die instead of a whole Nation parish and we
related it to Noah's ark, and the spirit was just so strong, it was incredible.
She also prayed for us and we committed her to pray about being baptized, so
that was pretty cool. It was a great lesson.
So unfortunately, no Jeffrey R. Holland yet, but we are
expecting him soon, so hopefully it will be within the next 3 weeks!
I hope you are all having a fantastic week! I love and miss
you all so much! I'd love to hear from you!
Love,
Your Sister Rebecca Lynn Barnes
