Elder B. is doing good this week :) He sent me a beautiful blue crystal ring, which I told him not to, but he can't resist an opportunity to spoil me. He has had a few problems with health though. I'd appreciate it if you guys could say a prayer or two that he can have the strength to carry out what he needs to do daily. I'm hoping I can get a package out soon. Speaking of which, if you guys have any cute package ideas, feel free to email me at ashiapie1@yahoo.com Id love to hear some ideas or even if you guys have any questions!! :)
I will be going to the temple next week to get my endowments, in of which I am so every excited! My farewell will be on the 21st of June. I'll have my mom or someone continue to post things for me when the time comes.
I just wanted to talk about service for a second. If you gals are having a hard time, feel alone, or are having a hard time missing your missionary, Things will go a lot easier if you search for opportunities to serve others. For the past month, I've been driving Kellie to work. Kellie is a sweet 23 year old with down syndrome. Her mother is a single mom who works at the school and needed help getting her to work. When she asked me to do it, at first it was really hard to get used to, but Kellie has done so much for me and shown me so much. I wouldn't do anything to change that. I'm just glad I can help her mother and Kellie. I'm even lucky enough to get to sit with Kellie every now and then while Kellie's mom goes out. It's hard to feel sorry for your self or focus on your own trials when you are helping others with theirs. You learn to love as Christ did, and nothing could be better for your relationship with your missionary and god, than learning charity. Love you gals! Talk to you soon!

AHHHHHHHHH................... Needed to get that out ha :) I'm missing my missionary a lot tonight. It's hard when your best friend and really your only friend is gone, and Friday fun nights turn into lonely ones. I'm just gonna cuddle into the shirt he gave me and watch the notebook or something haha :) Sad sad. The missing him is really hard at times but I keep reminding myself just how worth it, it will be. He's been serving for 149 days already which means he has approximately 518 days left!!!! crazy how fast it goes by! thank goodness. I cant wait till summer comes so I can enjoy myself more. being busy has its downs but then again it helps the time pass. Positive thoughts!!!! :) after all who could say no to this handsome blonde?? :) I've seen him grow so much, He's becoming the man I've always known he was capable of becoming. See you soon Elder!!! :)

Mission and things....
Man its been a crazy past few months THAT is for sure, and life as a missionary girlfriend HASN'T been easy. But I know Aaron definitively isn't having the easiest time either ha. but He is LOVING it out there. He's so dedicated to the work, and loves preaching the gospel. He's growing in so many ways, its crazy! I'm SO proud :)
Now believe it or not I have also decided to serve a mission and will be serving in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Spanish speaking. I will be leaving about June 24th for the Mexico MTC. and I know that us both being on a mission will be more than a blessing for us. He has been so supportive of it.
He's been having some baptisms which is fantastic!!!
It's about time for me to send him another package. He wants some pjs, Dr pepper and to switch jerseys. a couple weeks ago I got a Brazil soccer jersey with my last name on it. I'll have to get his items one at a time and send it out before I leave.
His letters are seriously the best thing in my life right now, I feel like a school girl when I see his name in my emails. When I'm having a bad day I just tell myself that I'll get to hear from Elder Barnum soon.
The missing him gets really hard, and if your waiting for a missionary, oh hun trust me it's HARD. but I know it'll be so worth it!! Even though its one of the hardest things I've done, it's also one of the easiest (totally makes sense huh?) It's easy to wait for him, but its all the feelings that come along with it that's hard. But the greater the sacrifice the greater the reward, and our reunion will be WONDERFUL.
