Sister Emma Rose Barker (2023-2025)

T minus 10 days left till this gal is hoppin on a plane to peru!!  We had a superbbusy week and I honestly can't remember very much because *mission brain* and also everything just mooshes together all the time.  But a few things I have a very very recollection of.  1. Antony literally is the coolest ever and God loves Him so much. He's become this person full of light. We got to our lesson on Friday and we go "Cómo esta sus goals? Like have you been doing good?" And he holds out a fist and I put my hand under it and he drops his vape. He goes "I don't need it anymore, this is to show you I'm willing and have changed." BRO. WE WERE STOKED. The plan that night was to really try and get him on date to be baptized so that was a huge step. But before we could say anything more he goes "and I'm moving tomorrow to Virginia for 2 years." I'm sorry WHAT. We proceeded to have a really good lesson and then he said the closing prayer and goes ...

I'm sitting in this adorable little Cafe in Yellow Springs Ohio. The weather that used to be 60° is now like 13. These little moms are talking about the antique shop they want to visit after this, and the best DVD romcoms they own. So yeah, kinda feels like a hallmark.  Definitely not like that every day, not even close ha! But even the days that every door we knocked didn't speak Spanish, and when all of our lessons canceled...it's okay. Cuz the Lord needs His love spread around in Ohio!!   Since it was Valentines this week....Roses are red violets are blue, the chocolate covered strawberries and cake and crumbl cookies and cupcakes we had for valentines day were delicious too. It was weird walking around Wright state on valentines day seeing people like...being in love...it was so odd. Like what even holiday is this?!? #stopthepda We had some awesome lessons this week  And only had to drop one friend cuz of his love confession about my pretty ojitos. Lol. We invited ant...

My dearest darlingest readers, I am two months old. I know. Wild. Ŵe went to the airport force musuem today and then a Chinese buffet and now are at the church to play some pickle Ball. Kudos to the elders for planning an awesome distrito activity.  Had a crazy week. Full of roller coaster ups and downs. Our friend steven from China is ghosting us right now which is a little concerning since the last time we talked to him the FBI had knocked on his door. So who knows. We got to do some really fun lessons this week!!! We went to the Rosas house. They're a little less active fam and are so so cute. I got to play with the kids and spesk some spanish with them and although it was humbling to have the 4 year old speak better spanish than me, its okay cuz i understood them...even when the 8 year old had food in his mouth. We taught a lesson about the plan of salvación and how we can show god we love him. Which was a little concerning because when we asked him who Jesús was, he goes ...

PSA to everyone who now thinks I am a dumb blonde and don't know what a touchdown is: I know in the picture of Jesus from last week his arms were not signaling for a touchdown. It is merely called touchdown Jesus because his arms USED to be raised in touchdown form. Thank you.  I got a call this week that apparently Ohio doesn't want me anymore but Peru finally does >:) I got my visa!!!!!!!!(!!!!!!!) So the end of this transfer (6 week period) I will booking it to Llamaland. Woot woot! I still got time to do great things so I'm going to work super hard while I'm here! (IN fact I'm even starting to like ohio a little but don't tell anyone that would be embarrassing) I have a million things to say this week and I know it's a novel so I'm sorry! But it was a funny week and I have a feeling in Peru I'm gonna start getting lazy with emails lol. Pick a number any number in this list it's sure to delight.   1. I believe all the mission doctors are al...
