Transfers!

Hey guys! This week was crazy.

We had transfers this week! On Wednesday, we drove up to Eugune. We went to this odd little store, then got lunch in Eugene. I went off with Sister Richins and Arnold for the day! It was fun to be with my trainer. We had a blast! I slept over at their apartment, then they dropped me off at the Eugune transfer spot to pick up Sister Lunt. She is Sister Tippetts new companion. We drove back to Klamath and met up with Sister Tippitts and Linares. Sister Linares is my new companion! 
The past week has been awesome! We've had a few lessons and have prepared our 2 friends for baptism this upcoming Saturday! On Sunday, we went to this single adult activity with our friend Sam. They did a break the fast and it was fun! 
This week should be so much fun and exciting! I read an amazing talk this week by Gary B Sabin called Hallmarks of Happiness! I encourage you to read it! Hope you all have a fantastic week!
Love,
Sister O'Barr 


Happy st Patrick’s day!

Hey guys This has been one of the most chaotic weeks.

Monday night, we broke into the elders apartment. It wasnt really breaking in because they leave their door unlocked. We found some Tupperware that a member had given the other sisters. Our mouse problem is bad. We've caught 8 mice this week. 
On Wednesday, we got to go to the temple!! I love being able to go to the temple. It is so cool to have that time to just focus on the Lord. We stopped at chickfila for lunch and trader joes and it was so fun!
On Thursday, we were on exchanges. Sister Tippetts was with me in my area. We had some awesome lessons with one lady whos on date for baptism and another who just got baptized. It was fun! 
On Friday, we had our last NMT and district council of the transfer! This transfer has gone by so fast! Sister Bottomly is excited to go home. 
On Sunday, we went to church. We then watched the departing devotional, then went to dinner. The kids were so funny! We were laughing so hard! 
Transfers are this week!! Sister Bottomly and I are both going up to Eugene on Wednesday and I'll stay still Thursday. I'm not sure who my new companion is going to be yet. But I'm almost positive I'm staying here. The zone is getting completely changed since 5 missionaries are going to their original assignment. 
I hope you all have a great week! 
Love,

6 months!!

Hey guys! The past 2 weeks have been crazy! I broke my phone 2 weeks ago. I wasn't able to get a loaner phone till Tuesday when we went to Eugene. Luckily I have a phone that works now!! We also found mice in our apartment so we are currently trying to get rid of them!

We are so busy every day! There are so many elect people here who are ready to hear the gospel! We put our friend Sam on date for baptism! It is cool to see the changes he's made and his willingness to grow his relationship with God!
Our mission put on this Restoration Devotional and it talked all about Joseph Smith and the restoration of the Gospel! We had several friends come and it was cool to see their testimonies be strengthened! 
A big theme from this week was enduring to the end! 2 Nephi 31:20 says “Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.” We can keep going forward through our struggles and grow! We shared this scripture with so many friends and members this week and I hope it can help you guys as well!
Hope you all have a fantastic week!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
