Sister Barlow in Dakotas

  Well well well. I can't believe it's over. I don't want it to be over! Best 18 months ever.  I'm home now! I apologize for not writing last week. I was supposed to be home sooner than I was. But God had a plan for me.  MY PLAN was to fly out Thursday from Bismarck, but a massive blizzard hit all of North Dakota and all the roads and airports closed. I spent all of Wednesday waiting for a new travel plan. Let me tell ya, I'm not patient haha. I wanted to be home the next day but there was no way I could travel anywhere with the roads closed. I was STUCK.  But as God had it planned. It all worked out.  Wednesday morning; I am trying to focus on missionary work as I try not to think of the situation. I tried really hard guys! But I was a bit distracted. I was in my studies and we got a call from a former who was taught ages ago. Her name was Lydia and she told us how now her life was in order and she wanted to take the lessons seriously! Great! So ...

  Hi Eve!!   Wizard Of Oz has been really stressful; but really fun!!! Performances are this week. We might have an understudy run through Monday or Tuesday but I'm not 100% sure. Wish me luck! That's basically it! I love you so much! our rooms are looking good so far!  xoxoxoxoxoxo MARI What to say You're Almost here! That's honestly the coolest thing that's happened recently.  The show is getting to the point where it's stressful. Everyone is on edge. Conference was really cool, but I don't have to tell you that. I went on a date with Taylor and it was fun. Honestly, that's all I got. I can't wait to see you! love Hyrum Sweet Eve, General Conference was so filled with the topic of missionary work that I'm sure I heard you give a couple of "Whoot Whoo's" from North Dakota!  What a choice time to be a missionary!  I can't wait to hear what you learned from Conference.  Some of my knowledge nuggets were:   Elder Bednar...

 Hello! Thanks for tuning in! Our week was slow up until the last two days and we were really hit with some awesome miracles!  Our Friends!  Steve- We finally were able to get ahold of Steve! We send him daily scriptures as a good way to start his day and then try to call him later that night, and this week he finally answered! Please pray for Steve and his mom! She is going through a lot of health challenges right now. One thing I love about Steve is that he has an eternal perspective. We haven't been able to teach him the plan of salvation yet, but he already has faith that there's more to life than what is here on earth! We called him one night and we were able to read with him and he asked if he and his mom could get a blessing. He tries to attend zoom church as much as his job allows. He is just so cool. He is doing his best to endure to the end!  Let me say, I really haven't had to tract that much on my mission. I know back in the days that'...

  Well, Hi! You're almost coming back!  Not much to report, just one of the busiest weeks of my life. MDT auditions were Monday and Tuesday, but because of SURPRISE madrigals festival I had to do the dance auditions during the singing audition. I made it in, so they must have liked it. The festival on Tuesday was boring at best. Another reason I'm not doing choir next year. And then Marilee's master class was right after that. That was fun, the dude was crazy. I had to write three essays on Wednesday. Thursday was theatre region. I medaled and am going to state, performing my Heath Ledger Joker Inspired monologue. Friday, I tested out of the Gym class I didn't have time to take Saturday...oh boy Saturday. I left the house at 8:00 AM and didn't get back till 4:00 PM. For a choir thing we didn't want to do. I have nothing good to say about the experience, so let's just say it was another reason to quit choir. I got released from my second assistant ...

  Hey! I hope you all had another great week! We had a lot of really random things happen. But first, here's what the people want  Brad - upon trying to track down one of our friends, we knocked on a door and it was Brad! He just moved here but was super happy to see us! He's not a member but was interested in our message! Tracting does work!  Dawn - We haven't been able to get a hold of Dawn since the 2nd week of February. She had a vacation and then a trip to Fargo, so we've been really on top of our daily contact with her. Her Fargo trip was this last weekend. We then found out that on her trip she was put on date to be baptized by the missionary she was with. Confused? So are we. Pray that we can actually work this out!  Vincent - Sister Haufe went to do some contacting at the mall and decided to leave stickers around the lobby with our phone number and an inspired question on the back. We got a call the next day and the man said he found the sticker an...
