So Monday was a great day!! We finally received a quick email from Elder Barlow!! He didn't have very much time, but it was sure good to hear from him! And as an added bonus, we got a letter from him, and his Mission President and a Photo! It was a great day, and our family is so happy!!
Here is the email followed by the letters!!

Hey Guys!!!
I am glad to hear that everything is going good!! that is awesome that you
guys found some help for the farm!! But anyways i have some awesome crazy news!!
My first area is is called Arroyo Grande!! It is sweet! My comps name is Elder
Buckmiller! haha he is really cool! he is from salt lake and he only has 6 more
weeks of his mission!! So some more of the crazy news is that me and my comp are
covering three wards! Ag 1st 2nd and pismo beach!! and we are the only spanish
elders up in this area! Are apartment is brand new! and when we walk down the
road a little bit from the apartment i can see the pismo beach sand dunes!! the
ones from rob and big!! haha!! its awesome! but anyways president castro sent me
and my comp up to this area to do the impossible it seemed like! what he wants
us to do is start a spanich branch from scrath!! one that builds off of the one
of the other wards! It will be hard cause we are both brand new to this area and
here there are really no spanish speakers!! So many miracles have been going on
the past week! my very first day in the field was sweet! we knocked a few doors
and nothing was happening but then we walked up to this house and talked with
this girl named maria she was doing the dishes! so we just talked to her through
the window!! we told her about everything! the restoration and the great
apostocy! and then we just asked her if she would be baptized and she said YES!
haha the spirit was so strong!! and in my mind i could feel the spirit workin
through me!! so what i did i asked her if i could give her a book of mormon! and
she accepted so i gave that to her! we still have to go check up with her on if
she has been reading!! haha The miracles here are the best!! Today i am going to
try and send a package home to you guys so i hope you get it! i hope to hear
fromyou guys soon!! but the picture for nates wedding i like the one i sent, and
i will try and write letters to you giuys as much as i can! i dont really know
our email schedule yet so but i know its only for an hour so.... but I love You
guys!! tell everyone that i love them so much!!
Love___ Elder Barlow!!
