TRANSFERS!!
This email is probably going to be a little short. I'm sorry. Today has been crazy and I don't have a lot of time to email. I will hit the highlights though. So first some notes. Mom if you haven't sent a birthday thing yet, send it to the mission home instead of my piso because then I won't have to worry about paying for it. Also tell Grandma and Grandpa thank you for the Valentines card! It was so nice and so fun to get!!!
Taylor, Mormal looked so fun. That's so cute that the boys cooked for you all! And Kendall I loved the Mormon dress! She looked so cute!. That's amazing at how many nonmember kids went! That's awesome though!!! I'm glad you had a good time. I'm glad you're enjoying the little things.
Dad I laughed and felt sorry for your flower spilling story!! It's the thought that counts though right? We had Valentine's day here. It's not super popular, but some people did it. As for me... none this year haha!
As for this week in my life...It's been an emotional rollercoaster. So first the fun stuff. We had fu-fu three times this week. Fu-fu is an African dish. I don't really know how to explain it. It's a dough kind of thing with a soup of all different stuff like fish, peppers, chicken, mushrooms and all this other stuff. You take some of the dough in your hand and dip it into the soup. All of it is eaten with your hands. It was a cultural experience that's for sure. I don't know if I will make it at home, but it was fun to try.
As for the things you really want to know, we had a baptism of Kingsley this weekend. Cristina cancelled a few nights before because she said she didn't feel ready. Matthew didn't show up....it was a heart breaker for sure. We have a cita with him tonight to figure out what happened. Hopefully he still wants to be baptized and it'll happen this weekend. Just keep him in your prayers. Kingsley was awesome though. He was so excited, but he tried to hide it. He was smiling the whole time and looked so happy.

Today we had transfers. Hermana Porter left :( and hermana Tyler came to Martorell. She has about 9 months in the mission and she is from Benicia. I think we are going to get along just fine. I know we are going to see a lot of miracles too. The area right now has so much potential and I am excited to see what is going to happen. I am exhausted right now from all that has been happening. My emotions from the baptisms and transfers have drained me. I'm excited though to get new ideas and a fresh face to spice things up. It was definitely a good/emotionally draining week.
I would write more but I don't have a lot of time. I'm sorry!! I promise next week will be more. I love you all and I'm so glad to hear all is well. Keep doing work in the mission world and being examples to all. Tell Kendall I say wassup sista! haha love you all!!!
con amor
hermana barker
