September 7, 2020 - Yup

 This week on Elder Barlow is an idiot: we were doing work on Rhondas house and she had these chisels. So I flipped it and caught it, naturally I then tried two flips not knowing that chisels were sharp. I caught the chisel side and sliced my finger open, sweet. Then we did tie dye shirts for a pday activity (thrilling) and all the dye got in my cut so I have this inch long black line across my finger, even better.

We moved 5 people into houses, here's the thing I learned about moving. When they say it will take about 1 hr it really means 4 hrs. We had another car wash which is probably the best part of our week because we actually get to talk to nice people. And we get to feel awkward standing on the side of the road. But I figured out if you stare and smile/wave then the person in the car feels awkward haha it's pretty funny because they have no reason to feel awkward but they do. 

We pulled a hilarious prank at service, there was a costume eagle head and we put it on people's head unexpectedly I'll attach the video hopefully it's not too long.
Sorry it's short but at least it's something lol

Love you all
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...

June 8, 2020 - Tropical Storm < Tropical Wool

  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...
