Our best Christmas gift this year was being able to talk to Elder Barlow! He sounded so good, and said he was happy! He loves the town of Fillmore where he serving right now. He was so excited about his first baptism, It was 14 year old Johnny.
This is Johnny!!
Johnny has an Uncle that is a member and he asked his Uncle to baptize him!!
Elder Barlow was so excited for Johnny to become a member.
Our family enjoyed hearing his stories. He spoke in Spanish to us, sharing his testimony. We all thought that he spoke Great Spanish! He even had a hard time remembering what some words were in English. He said he is slowly but surely learning that Language. He understands a lot of Spanish, and he is not afraid to just try and speak it.
He really is loving the misson, and we are so happy about that. His testimony is such an example to all of us. He has grown in the gospel so much.
He sent home his first SD card. Filled with wonderful Pictures and yes even some great video. I will try and add pictures as I blog.
On Dec. 30th Elder Barlow reached his 5 month mark. The time is going by quickly (MOST DAYS).
There are times that it feels like forever.
We love him and miss him so much, but are so blessed to have him serve the Lord.
Here are some Pictures from the SD card!
Not sure where this is..... a Member's house?
