The trailer
This week has been really great! We have been able to do lots of service with Rhonda and the trailer is actually coming together now! I'll drop pictures at the end. We also got to do a car wash, which was kinda dumb but more successful then I thought. We washed 3 cars in 2 hours lol but those cars were very clean, thanks Pops for making us wash your car every Saturday really prepared me for that. Other than that we have been editing our video a lot and shooting our new video. 

We also had zone conference on Friday and it was pretty good. President Wood talked a lot about the parable of the good Samaritan and the character of him and it was really good. Showing how the good Samaritan exemplifies Christ and how he put everything on hold to take care of the one. We got to have it in person but of course had to social distance and wear masks but it was still good. Our car got inspected and they said it was "caked" in dirt and there was literally hardly any dirt on there but whatever. 

Yesterday we had a lesson with Tony it was awesome and he said that he wants to be baptized in the future so that is awesome, hopefully we can nail him down to commit to it next time. Today was probably the highlight of the week. We got to play basketball this morning, then we went to the driving range to hit some balls. It was really fun, some Elders have really old golf clubs, like the driver and 3 wood is straight wood, it was hilarious. We also put up a little driving net in our house(just a bunch of sheets, blankets, and mattress's against the wall so we could hit the ball inside the apartment. 





I hope yall are all doing good Also go check out our Facebook page The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Gainesville, our mission made this awesome video 

Love, Elder Barlow

  Yes indeed, this will be my last weekly email. I don't know how all of you are going to live without my every once in a while updates lol. This week has been awesome. It has gone by so fast, we have had so many different things to do. On Tuesday we had beers with Brother dodge (don't worry its just root beer but he likes to freak people out and have fun with it). We went with him to a recent converts place, Bob, to watch a book of Mormon video and it was wonderful until the video ended and bro dodge proceeded to tell Vietnam War stories for 2 hours. It was brutal. OK so there is a recent convert here named Grace and she is probably one of the coolest people I've met on my mission. We got to talk to her on Thurs night and hear her conversion story and it was awesome. She is one of those people that just gets it, and she is all in for the gospel. Saturday we had our basketball night and it was way fun, we had a ton of people there and some new ones that have never come befo...

  Yo! This week was filled with a bunch of stuff so I'll give a few highlights Monday we golfed in the morning, hit up bdubs (their new sauces are trash) and then had a nerf war lol, felt like I was 12 again. It was awesome. Tuesday we did service at some organic farm, pretty cool since the lady requested help on Facebook, and that was something. We picked sweet potatoes for 4 straight hours, I could never be a farmer. I did find the largest potato and it was about the size of my head. Ants, spiders, and ticks were all prevalent but I'm still moving.  That night we went to Rhondas for a little good bye dinner. It was sweet we had lasagna and she also got apple pie and ice cream, because I said pie was my favorite. I felt I had made a mistake after she put two huge pieces on my plate with ice cream, but I was a champ and put it down. It was hard to leave but I challenged her to take the lessons for real and she said yes so that was awesome. Also she said I could come back anyti...

  This week has actually been really good! We had interviews this week with President Wood and we got to do them in person so that was awesome! We also had a referral this week for a Bible study and this dude is awesome, his name is Sedrick and he loved being able to study with us. Hopefully he will be just as excited to hear about the restoration! We also finally got to have a sit down lesson our Chinese friend and it was awesome! Just kidding I have no idea since I didn't understand anything but I think it went pretty good and she wants to keep doing more so that's something.  It has been raining for like a week straight because of the tropical storm in Louisiana. Which is great but it washes out all the ants from the dirt and so they are all over the parking lot, we've had ants all over and in our car for 3 straight days. Yesterday we got together with a couple other missionaries to break our fast with Chicken pillows! In my family we call em chicken rolls but I've d...
