So, to start with, transfers are this week!! And I'm staying here in Antioch but my companion Elder Gubler is leaving me. He's going to Hayward to be a zone leader! We've just started getting to be really unified so we're both a little disappointed but I know that this is what God wants for each of us I'm a little nervous about being with a new companion and being expected to know the area well and help my new comp figure out the area but hey, it'll be exciting! His name is Elder Arp and what I've heard is he's a big Samoan, about my same height. Not only that... We have been moved to bike!! So, I get to buy a new bike and a new adventure begins! I'm way excited.
We had a fun experience this week with that family I talked about last week. One of the sons and his friends are on the football team at the Highschool and they invited us to their football game. It was just a scrimmage but it was weird because I thought I would never be in that environment again. But it was cool because I remembered the thought that we were in the world but not of the world. We were there to support investigators not to watch football. They are still doing so awesome. We are so excited for their baptism. I love working with them and can already see the Gospel blessing their lives! :)
Yesterday in Ward Council, Bishop Liberatore who we had missed so much the week beforehand gave us some more inspiring knowledge. He said, speaking of keeping the Sabbath Day holy, "You are all doing good things, but are you doing the best things?" So my invitation this week is much more general but I know that as I apply this to my life I will be blessed and I know it can bless yours. Analyze the things you are doing to Come closer to Christ and ask yourself, Is this the best thing I could be doing?
I love you all! Keep up the good work!!!
With Love,
Elder Barnett
