Lights Out

 สวัสดีครับ Hello!

One more week in the life of Elder Barrett is in the books. It was a slow week in Orting, but I'll share some of the highlights!

HIGHLIGHT REEL

- We had the biggest rainstorm of the year the other night. It took our power out and turned it back on twice! The rain was pretty much going sideways. I decided to run out and dance in the rain a bit. 30 seconds was enough to get me drenched!

- While knocking doors, we ran into someone the missionaries used to talk to all the time but was lost when covid happened. We talked to him a lot and he was really quick to believe in the Book of Mormon for someone who has put a lot of study into the Bible.

- We helped a member move and assemble a recliner all of the sudden on Friday. And guess who ended up with his old recliner? It's the most comfortable chair I've sat in for a long time. 

- During a member meal, we had people upstairs watching football who would he'll down the scores of the games going on. BYU won and Utah lost! What more could you ask for, honestly?

SCRIPTURE TIME

I just wanted to share a little scripture that's been helping me recently. It's been a rough couple of weeks over here. For a lot of reasons I won't bore you with (my emails do a good enough job of that as it is), it's just been hard to keep it up. But in 2 Nephi 2:2, it says, "...thou knowest the greatness of God; and he shall consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain." Through all of the hard times I've faced in my mission, I've seen why I've had to work through them. I can tell the Lord is really trying to help make me what I need to be. There have been a lot of afflictions, but I'm starting to see how they've been consecrated for my gain. He can do the same for you! Say a prayer and thank God for the trials, and ask him to show you the reasons you had to endure them. You'll figure it out. That's a promise. 😉

Just a quick reminder, I love you! (How could you have possibly forgotten?)
