Transfer Time!!

Transfers were yesterday! Elder Barlow is happy and excited! Here is his email from Yesterday.... Feb. 24, 2014!

HEY B-CREW!!

This week has been AWESOME!!

 

Monday was great! we had a wonderful P-Day! Getting ready for the week is always such a good thing to do!! Shopping for food was good but with transfers coming up I really didn't want to buy anything!!

Tuesday went well! also we contacted one of our Referrals from Santa Paula 2nd sisters, his name is Julio, it was good to meet him! We had another lesson with Susie it went great! She told us when we got there that the night before she watched the Joseph Smith movie and she Loved it! It is so awesome to see her progressing so well!

Wednesday we talked to a less active in the ward her name is Hana. Martinez it is our recent converts mom ( Johnny's  Mom) She was really nice to us and she very busy with school and work so it was a quick lesson! We also had our correlation meeting with our Ward Mission Leader and he has some friends visiting, so we got to introduce our selves to them and it went great!

 

Thursday Was a great day for Elder Jones it was his Birthday!! He had a great day! We went and stopped by a lot of our investigators to have some lessons and it all went great! We had English Class and we got a new investigator out of it. her name is Maria she told us that she loves to read the Bible and listen to it on her CD's!! She is very Interested!

Friday was good. We did weekly planning and it is crazy to think that this Transfer is already over! Our Ward Mission Leader took our investigator Susie to the L.A. Temple to let her go to the visitors center! She told us that she loved it and I know that she felt the spirit there for sure!!

Saturday we went out to do some Declarations it went well. we found out the Zone Leaders came into our area to help us get some Declarations! it was quite the Surprise!! We also went to go see another Less active in Piru. her name is Sis. Zavala! She was very nice to us and we invited her to church!

Sunday Sis. Zavala (The Less Active) was not at church but her Daughter came it was awesome to see her there the ward was very excited too!! I love the members here in Fillmore they are great!!

I have some AWESOME news!! we got transfer calls this morning and I am getting transferred!! Do you guys have any guesses where I am going??................

Santa Barbara!!!! It is awesome!! I will be going into the los olivos Spanish Branch!! So my Spanish skills will be tested!! it will also help me learn more too!!! I am so excited! I cant wait!! My new comps name is Elder Griffin! he was in Elder James District in the MTC!!

That is crazy to hear about the snowmobile accident!! that is so sad! But our heavenly father knows  why things happen for a reason!!

Tell DAD HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I am glad he liked the Card it made me laugh too!!

That is so cool to hear about Caleb!! im sure his Spanish is great! and to hear about Elder Fridals mom! I still see him sometimes it is great!!

I was wondering if you could do something for me!! I don't know if you have a copy of my Patriarchal Blessing but if you do could you go get it shrunk down to a small size and get it laminated and send it to me!! That would be great!

Last night we went around to take pictures with some members it was fun!! it was very hard to say goodbye to some of them!! I have grown so close to this ward and I don't want to leave, but the lord knows where I need to go and it is going to be great!!

I love you guys so much!! keep up the hard work and tell Beast good job on the penalty kick! I am jealous!!

Keep on Keeping on!!

Te Amo Mi Familia!!

nos vemos!!

Elder Barlito!!
