There is in every true woman a spark of heavenly fire



Happy 30 years to Mom and Dad! Thanks for getting married. I am eternally grateful ;)

This week was a little tricky for us. Everyone is leaving for summer vacation. Usually the families go visit their home countries for a few weeks! We have a few investigators that we are working with, so that is keeping us busy.
Here are a few random stories from the week:

1. A Time Warner Cable salesman knocked on our door. He said that his records show that we do not have cable, and he asked us why. Green light! We ended up teaching him the restoration of the gospel of Jesucristo and we invited him to be baptized. He said he is interested in learning more! He is from El Salvador and currently lives down the road from my first apartment in Canoga Park!

2. We got a member referral a few days ago. Her name is F...... The problem is she has a huge gate around her house that is always locked. We stopped by a couple times with no luck contacting her. Yesterday we planned a time to see her, and prayed for a miracle that she would pull up in her car when we showed up. GUESS. WHAT. HAPPENED. Right when we walked up to her gate, she pulled up in her car behind us! God answers prayers. We ended up talking to her and her son for about 20 minutes. They are pretty Catholic and not interested in changing religions, but it was a wonderful conversation!

3. Has anyone seen Nora's Christmas Gift? It is on the missionary Christmas DVD with Mr. Kruger's Christmas. It is so good. I think I will make it a new Barfuss Christmas tradition to watch it every year! 

4. It has been cloudy and rainy all week. I love it! I am trying to enjoy every second because I know I will be sweating my guts out soon.

5. There is a member in the Burbank ward that owns a food bank. They are being audited so all the North Hollywood missionaries have been helping out. We counted, stacked, organized about 300 hundred crates of food. The gave us some free bread a stawberries :) yummmmm

6. Our mission is going to the temple on Friday! I cannot wait!

I think that is everything...I hope your back is feeling better mamas. I hope you and dad did something fun for you anniversary like get ice cream or watch an Andy Griffith episode together.

LOVE YOU!

fav quotes from the week:

Ordinances and covenants help us remember who we are- True to the Faith

There is in every true woman a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity- Washington Irving
