The Elder Barr Blog

Thanks for the email. It was great to see a whole bunch of email in my inbox. It is great.

The work has been going well. On Monday we were notified that Elder Peterson would be transferred today, so yesterday he got to say goodbye to a lot of people. We took some good pictures, which we developed this morning. By the way, I did tell you that the digital camera wasn’t working, right? Anyway, I should have a new companion by the end of the day, so you will hear about him next week.

We had dinner with a Trinidadian member family. They are really gool. They are teaching me how to make curry, Trinidadian style. We also have a Haitian family in the ward, and I am learning their style of cooking too. The islands really have good food.

General conference was great. I really enjoyed all of it. We got to watch all of the sessions. On Sunday, we even had some investigators come. We have this one family from the British Virgin Islands that we are working with. It is a large family. Anyway, the “grandparents” came, and they really enjoyed it. The lady cried during President Hinckley’s talk about the ring, since she had a piece of jewelery that meant a lot to her, and she lost it. Anyway, it was a lot of fun.

That family owns an ice cream store in town, and for some reason their freezer shut off. So, we helped them throw away 100 gallons of ice cream. It was too bad. It was a real loss for them. Hopefully their insurance will cover it. The “grandpa” took us out afterwards for a steak dinner. I ordered fish, since I wasn’t in the mood for steak. It was pretty good.

So, things are going well. Oh, I never got a chance to order the garments, so could you order them for me. 4 pairs of dry-lux bottoms and 2 dry-lux tops. I have no preference on neck style. That would really be great.

Alright, I better get going. I love you all so much and I appreciate everything that you all do for me.

Love, your son,
Elder Barr

P.S. - no BYU application, but maybe a UW Bothel application, or some other local schools. I want to stay local.

Tell Grandpa Steve happy birthday for me. It is great.
