FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS A TI !!!!!!!!
I can´t believe my little baby sister is 15 now! In 6 months you are going to be driving!...I'm glad I'm not going to be home for that! (haha just kidding). I hope you have had the best birthday week ever, and I say week because it sounds like you've been a little spoiled for your birthday...as you should be :) I wish I was there to celebrate and give you a giant hug, but I'm sending love through the computer. Just hug it real tight and now I'm doing the same!! I wish I could dedicate this email all to you and tell you all the things I love about you, but I think dad and mom want to know a little about whats going on...so I'll get back to you Coco!
First I just want to say I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! ¡SÍ SE PUEDE! It means yes you can mom! That's amazing that you have made that goal! I'm glad it took a little bit of mission power to get you to do it...or I like to think it was because of mission power! I give you all the credit though. I'm seriously so proud of you. (I am giving up drinking my cherished Dr. Pepper this year - may not sound like a big deal but it is for me).I wish I could say the same, but it's kinda the opposite here. Everyone drinks soda because the water is feo! So now I'm stuck drinking soda that I dont even like.(Rachel hates any kind of soda and never drinks it), I'ts ok though. I'll drink enough for the both of us mom. haha. But really I am so proud of you and I know dad is as well. Keep it up because I know you can do it!
Martorell is great. I need to take pictures because some of the areas are so Spanish you would love them mom! There's a lot of history in the old part of Martorell. It's not our area, but I'll get pictures. Also, the capilla is smaller than Valencia, but it's good. We sang with the elders on Sunday. Rumor has it that there is a video floating around Facebook somewhere...it was so bad though. We had to start over! haha but it was funny. Also I had to give a talk. Luckily the time was low so my talk was short and sweet. And now it's over with and I dont have to do it anymore! haha or so I hope. It was good though.
Our baptism got moved to this week because Matthew had to go out of town, but keep praying for him. It's hard as an 18 year old to change your life, but we are trying to keep him confident in himself. He is a great kid though and he really has a strong testimony. We have found a lot of potential people to teach this week as well. Also, there are a lot of part member families that I want to focus on. The members in the families are menos activo, so we are working to help them all. There is a lot of potential in Martorell though and I am excited to do something with that potential.
I made a new bestie. His name is Raul. He is 10 and he's a member, but his mom isn't. We are working hard with her though. Raul thinks hermana Porter and I are hilarous and he always tries to wrestle us. He is super sassy and has so much attitude, but he's so funny. We have a lot of fun together. Last time we went over, he gave me a bruise from what he calls "karate"...more like trying to push pressure points that he doesn't know where they are at so he just pushes random spots on my shoulders SUPER hard ahah. its fun though. One kid in church called me a jungle gym for the kids...its kinda true haha. I just love all the kids though! They are so fun and they don't make me nervous about my Spanish!
Well we are working hard, and we are having a lot of fun doing it. Today we went bowling as a zone and it was super fun! I beat everyone in the zone...pretty good I know haha. Now we have to go clean piso for clean checks tomorrow...wish us luck!!!
I love you all and I wish I was there to celebrate with you all. I'm super jealous about the Globetrotters!! (Ron, Kelli and Mark went to see the Globtrotters on Friday night).I want to go so bad! People invited us over for the Superbowl...they were going to special order it for us. Sadly we don't have permission to watch.
Well, have a great week and next week I will have pictures...I always forget to take my camera. I think we're going to Barcelona next week though so I will for sure take my camera. I love you bunches and talk about you all the time! Court have a great birthday, but don't get to teen on mom and dad!! They still need their little baby!
con amor
Hermana Barker
