Week #21
Hello my most amazing family ever! (side note.if spaces are missing its because the space bar is not working right. Sorry in advance!) I can't believe its already Christmas! I don't know about home, but it definitely doesn't feel like Christmas here. There's not many lights, and the trees are all FAKE! Yea awful I know! I don't really think I'll have time to be homesick this week though because we have 2 eating citas every day on the 24, 25, 31, 1, 5, 6! It's going to be the time to get fat that's for sure! I'm scared because I can't eat all of it! Wish me luck!
I am more than excited to see your beautiful faces on Skype in TWO DAYS!!! It's going to be so great. I wish we had more time but we will make the most of it. Are Kelli and Mark going to be there? I really hope so. We checked the skype and computers yesterday and so all should work out. It'll be around 7:40 to 8:15. I hope you're right dad
and that mom is sitting there waiting for me! I cant wait!!!!
I'm glad you fed the missionaries. It really is nice to get a break from the missionary life and eat with members.
Thank you for doing that. I know they appreciate it as well. What is the name of the Elder from Rexburg? I bet they
are learning a lot in Oakland! I can only imagine how different it is for both of them!

Thank you for all the kind words for Rosemary. She is doing great! She and Manuel are progressing so much. They
are super excited for Christmas! They have invited all the missionaries from our ward (6), the obispo and his wife,
some menos activos, our investigators, and some neighbors! It's going to be a party for sure! The only thing we
near good as the boxed brownies from Safeway. If only they knew.

to leave at 10 of course, but we found out the next day that everyone stayed until 3 in the morning!! My ward knows
how to party! They said they danced and sang and had a great time. If only I weren't a
missionary for that night haah.
This week has been a little boring because hermana Alatorre was sick. we spent a lot of time in piso and I spenta
lot of time studying and reading the scriptures. It's a blessing and a curse to be stuck in piso all day!
We had intercambios this week so hermana Rhodes came to spend a day with me. She is awesome! We didn't
have a lot going on in terms of citas, so we went caroling. We found 3 new investigators from it! The only problem
is we haven't had time to visit them because we've been stuck in piso....It's aweful. haha but intercambios was
good. It gave me a fresh start again.

Random side note...in South America it's rude to smell the food. I found that out last night when I smelled
something that Manuel made before I ate it. He was not happy with me. But it's all good because are best
friends. So just so everyone knows...DONT SMELL THE FOOD!

Tay I'm so happy for you and your blessing! It sounds like it was beautiful! I knew it would be. You have a heart
your worth as a child of God.

Well since I get to talk to you on Wednesday, I guess theres not much else to say! This week is going to be so fun
and I really am so excited! I love eating with the members! They are awesome.
Remember that this is a time to celebrate Christ and all He has done for us. Luke 2:14. That is my scripture to all
around the world! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Con Amor!
Hermana Barker
Feliz Navidad!
