Hello again family,
I am doing better. I have been trying to rest a little more. Some days are better than others, but it's what it is right? Nothing I can't handle. Mom taught me to suck it up and don't go to the doctor until I'm dying...hehe love ya mom! It was a little bit of a slow week, but everyone is taking good care of me.
The house looks beautiful. I'm not going to even recognize it when I get home if you keep changing everything! Feel free to change the colors of the bunk bed room though :) I wouldn't mind that. And I'm glad you all enjoyed conference. It really means so much more to me now. I have had such a testimony building of personal revelation. I recieved so many answers both personally and for the people here. It's amazing what we can learn. The only problem was that my head was pounding so I didn't hear all of every piece. We don't get to see the Sunday afternoon session because it starts at 10pm here. We see the other sessions live, but we are a session behind you all. The sister conference was so great though. I loved the video clips that they showed. Super powerful. We also had to watch one session in Spanish. It's not too bad because I can understand it all, but it's just not as powerful because I am concentrating on the translation. It's ok though. It was a good experience. We had two investigators come to conference and it was 45 minuts away! That's true faith on their part.
As for this last month, March was a little slow in terms of work. All of our investigators decided to go out of town at the same time. This week though, was a week of miracles. Jackeline (the one from brazil) called and said she was back in town and would love to feed us dinner. We went over the other day and she is sooooo prepared for this message! She is amazing. The funny thing was we walked in to her new piso and there wre alcohol bottles EVERYWHERE!!! Hermana Tylers face was like OH MY GOSH WHAT DO WE DO! I could tell though that they were super expensive looking and still in their boxes. I told Hermana Tyler that I think she collects them. Anyway, she was giving us a tour of her piso and she said, "By they way, don't freak out. I don't drink. I just collect them. It was a hobby of mine and my husband" (her husband passed away about 3 months ago). Hermana Tylers face was just like, thank goodness. It was funny.
Anyway, we ate with her and just caught up with her. Before we left she just looked at me and said thank you. I didn't really understand so I asked for what. She said that right before she left we had dropped off a little goody bag for her trip and I had said something that really touched her. At that time she was looking for a piso and she really didn't have much. I had told her that the Lord was watching out for her and that she would find a piso and a job and her family would be ok. To be honest I dont even remember saying that. She told me now that she has a piso and a job she finally has hope again that life will be ok. She told me because of what I had said, she was able to travel without worry and she knew the Lord was wathcing over her with her husband to make sure she was safe. It was a very spiritual moment and one I will never forget.
As for the rest of the week, not much happened. We are slowly seeing people come out of the woodwork and the work is growing again. I have been a little boring this week so I feel a little bad for my companion. Hopefully though I am finally getting over my sickness and I will have my full strength back. I am so glad to hear you are all doing well. I wish I could come along to Grandpas birthday!! (Ron's Grandfather is turning 100 years old on April 10th). I hope Tay has fun in Nashville! That sounds so cool. She still hasn't told me about prom or anything! I dont know anything that's going on with her...so mysterious...so teen :). Well, love you all and hope you all have a great week. Travel safe and give all the family my love!!
Also tell Brynne congrats on her call! Thats so awesome! She is going to love it!! Go Alamo Sisters!!!
Con amor,
Hermana Barker
